The Taste Of Village

Introduced by my friend, saying she has been craving for this for 3 years when she’s stuck in China. Finally she’s back now and we decided to pay a visit. Environment 5/5 A small and cozy restaurant, not many tables, there’s about 5 or 6 tables at the front. There’s more at the back but I didn’t go to the back to check it out. Service 5/5 Staff gave us some time to choose and also recommend us some stuff. Quite professional and they actually change the plate for us after the starter, I’m surprised! I don’t exactly remember what’s the actual name of those dishes, so I will name them based on what I know Goan fisherman curry 5/5 Rarely I will order fish curry in Indian restaurant, but this dish has done its job well. Perfectly cooked fish, tender and juicy and curry is just right. Suitable for you if you don’t like too spicy. Butter chicken curry 5/5 We are sharing, but I ate almost all of it! Butter taste just right for me but my friend thinks it’s too buttery. But that’s butter chicken curry right! Lamb curry 5/5 This is quite different from what I have expected, and it turns out quite well. Will be really nice if is using the lamb without bone. The meat is a bit too little. Tandoori platter 4/5 First time having tandoori prawn and lamb, used to have chicken. It is a little bit salty for me, but the prawn and chicken are perfectly cooked and tasty! Naan platter 5/5 Chicken and cheese naan and I can’t remember what’s the other one. That’s not enough! Just too nice!! Goes well with the sauce given, love the one with mint Deep fried sweetcorn 4/5 First time trying this, the sweetcorn is coated with chickpea flour and other spices. Texture is a little bit too hard for me but the taste is wonderful with all the spices coated. What will I recommend? Butter chicken curry!! Fish curry!! Will I come back again? 5/5 OF COURSE!

As we careen toward the end of another year, with the dawning realisation Xmas is just days away, we’ve wanted a few midweek cheap eats to save time in the kitchen and energy for all the other stuff. I noticed The Taste of Village while driving through Burwood and thought the menu looked interesting with a few Goan curries, like Indo-Portuguese beef vindaloo $17.90). Adapted from a Portuguese dish, vinho e albos, or meat with wine and garlic, the Goans added a lot of chilli to this dish, and the version here is no exception to the rule. However against well-separated saffron rice $5.50) and cooling mint raita $3) and beetroot chutney $3). Warm weather dishes like papdi chaat $10.90) also deploy chutneys over two orderly rows of crisp dough wafers papri) topped with spiced potato, onion, coriander and fresh chilli. With button mushrooms cooked in the tandoor not available, we settle for corn pakoras $9.90) that switch out spinach for sweet corn in the besan-based fritters. They’re taken a bit far in the fryer for my taste. We round out our inexpensive meal with baingan bartha $16.90) where smoky mashed eggplant is brightened by juicy green peas. It’s gentle and tasty, both by itself, and scooped up with rich garlic and cheese naans $4.50/each) presented in easy-to-eat quarters. With BYO meaning you can easily control the price of your wine, this is a solid, well-priced suburban eat with parking spaces easy to find.

I must be honest, I rarely eat Indian. This restaurant may have just changed that. Its cosy, fantastic lighting and clean. The warm welcoming friendly staff know exactly how to treat customers. The food is fresh, presented perfectly and super tasty. They dont hava a wine list, so BYO. Highly recommend this authentic Indian restaurant. 1/7/2023.

Everything we ordered last night from entree to Butter Chicken to the nan trio were all amazing. People if you're sick of the mediocre and overpriced Chinese food in Burwood Chinatown why not give this place a try when you're in Burwood

Tasty Indian food. The naans were great. Vegetable samosa was crispy and not heavy. The butter chicken was excellent and the fish curry was also great. Service was polite. Would definitely go back. Thank you.
