Thumbs up The Brisbane Curry Saviour

Hi all,

We've been on the North side of Brisbane for 14 months or so and despite missing family haven't missed much else except a good curry!!

We have slowly been going through the Yellow Pages and trying different curry houses and by god have we eaten some utter crap!!!

Well, tonight we drove the 40 minutes from North Lakes to Birkdale on the south side because we had heard about a good curry house there. Well, would you believe they are from Birmingham and have opened a proper Balti house.

The food was to die for, the service was superb and the atmosphere was pretty good. The details are:

The Spice Avenue Balti Restaurant
190 Birkdale Rd
Birkdale
4159

Tel 38229822

The owners are called Naz (the chef) and his wife Rushna - they are lovely people. You will not be sorry!!!

In which case, have you tried Thai Times in Capalaba? I reckon it is pretty good (and is run by the brother in law of the man who runs the Little Indian Palace in Cleveland, which was recommended to me by an Indian chap I have worked with in town. That family also run the Indian down in Wellington Point.

Cheers.

Billabong,
I could have killed for a proper curry when I was visiting Bris.

Now that's what I call paradise, living in Oz and a Balti.


Bye

They might not drag it down but wait until us Gympie feral's invade for a good curry
Can any of you Baysiders tell me if your allowed in in your singlet and stubbies. I've got some black texters to draw thongs on my bare feet so no problems there

PS
Anita/Chris will try to get home at a respectable hour in future so we can give you a call

they are actually from wolverhampton, and having been to both the wolves one (my fave restaurant in wolves before i left) and the birkdale one, i can safely say they are both fantastic.

it a big drive to birkdale for me, but so very worth it.

anyone game enough to try the tindaloo??
