Hoorar a half decent curry!

Sitar Indian Restaurant New Farm, 69 James Street, New Farm QLD 4005, Australia

Success! On my travels with the wife last week, finally found a good curry house in Bris-Vegas.

It’s not traditional Pakistani/Indo-fare like the legend that is Tayyabs in Whitechapel back home (*sigh* I miss Tayyabs), but it was a good Anglo-curry. I’m pretty sure that a vindaloo is meant to have meat AND potatoes in it but you know what, it tasted good so I’ll let it fly. I suggest an official BCC visit for a second opinion and rating.

Don't cook on the floor. It's rather unsavoury madam!

I remain unconvinced that Brisbane has a Sultan, but if we do I am pretty certain that this is not anything to do with him. The food was awful. I mean terrible. The place had a worrying perma-smell of burnt plastic, the toilets in which it looks as though somebody met a grizzly fate were basically a trough in a shed in the car park and I caught the matriarch of the "restaurant" preparing our "food" in a pot on the floor. Avoid like the plague.

Eccentric Adventures in Ghee

Bombay Dhaba/Bliss, 5/220 Melbourne St, West End (Brisbane) QLD 4101

Distinctly average curry house. Really bad starters (I think I got served a Findus Krispy Pancake) but passable mains (if nothing like what you are expecting [generally mystery meat with generic sauce]).

Only saving grace was the eccentric staff (think Bollywood version of Manuel from Faulty Towers) that added a somewhat comedy twist to the evening.‎
