In short, it was rank: absolutely dripping with fat, just loads of chilli with no subtlety, the worst pilau rice I'd ever tasted, no free popadoms. $42 for two. Outrageous.
Lets hear your curry stories, good and bad..... Fancy leaving Northcote and expecting food be up to standard elsewhere in Aus ;) Food and all its diversities is definitely the main thing this area has going for it. |

I guess it's worth having a chat with them as they seem happy to do stuff that is not on their menu. :thumbup: |

Food and all its diversities is definitely the main thing this area has going for it. We lived in England for 7 years between Northcote and Geelong. Went to Geelong, cos the wife is from there, and I had a job sorted etc, PLUS IMHO there are too many wankers in Melbourne;) There are many arguments for and against Geelong vs Melbourne.......... |

Lets hear your curry stories, good and bad..... It is bearable when desperate but a bloody rip off! All the others are rank.... Was back in the UK for a couple of weeks recently and had 2 while there - OMG it was bliss!! |

I think you may be referring to the curry house that we use in Geelong. And they also do the mild, medium or hot thing too. All the sauces seem similar. Since when did tarka dall have kidney beans in it?!!!!

Re: The curry report
We used to visit the Indian Restaurants in Rusholme years ago, and have never found an Indian Restauarnt in Australia as good as most of the ones we visited down there. We always look out for Indian restaurants when visiting on our travels and try out as many as we can. In our local area there are a lot of Indian's but most are average at best.
However a few weeks ago we came accross an Indian called 'The Copper Pot" in Umina ( near Woy Woy ) and the food there was very good. They have the usual curry menu with Chef Specials like Balti and Karahi but every curry they sell can be ordered mild, medium, hot or very hot. So, yes you can have a bum-burning Butter Chicken if you like !:thumbsup: The naan breads are fresh, hot and yummy, the service is good, the owner is a friendly Indian bloke and it's BYO. ( Little Creatures Pale Ale is great with a good curry ! ) I'm told the same bloke has just opened an indian in Terrigal, so we will be heading that way next week. |
Re: The curry report
The best Indian restaurant I have ever been to is on Langkawi Island, Malaysia
The best Indian restaurant I have been to in Australia is 2 Fat Indians in Mt Lawley, Perth The best Indian restaurant I went to in the UK is in Bradford, Yorkshire |
Re: The curry report
I reckon the curries were better in Birmingham than they were in Bradford.
Maybe I prefer balti. :unsure: |
