Cuisine: Indian

629 Wynnum Road, Morningside

Curries: Between $13 and $17

We had 4 curries, 1 starter and 1 naan between 4 people and were absolutely stuffed and even had leftovers to take home!

Isabel came to visit so we decided to try out a little (very little) Indian restaurant/take away near my house. But good things come in small packages, and Curryville did not disappoint. Its a tiny shop, tucked next to the Foodworks on Wynnum Road. It probably seats less than 20 people but a large portion of their business would be from takeaway orders.

First up we ordered an entree of onions and potato deep fried in a chick pea batter. We had all thought that this meant it was mashed or pieces of potato mixed with onion then battered. However there were clusters of onion, and seperate slices of potato. I have to say the onion was delicious, but the potato did not excite us as much.

Isabel had a mango lassi (a yoghurt drink) to go with her meal while the rest of us shared a bottle of Brown Brothers Moscato. Something sweet all around to go with our curries!

We went with mild curries, but I would have liked to have something medium to shake things up a bit, maybe next time. Our curries came out in cute little pots on wooden pot holders. The pots were not hot, so the pot holders were entirely decorative. It would have been great if the curries were actually cooked in these mini-pots, but I guess they are being efficient.

These were the curries we selected:

Butter Chicken: This one was okay, but not the best Butter Chicken I’ve had before. I wouldn’t say the chicken was dry, but it probably could have used a few little bits of fat (like with chicken thigh pieces) to be nice and tender. Less healthy I know, but  so, so delicious (Chicken wings and thighs over breast pieces any day!).

Beef N Potato: I can’t remember much about this one. It wasn’t bad, but not the best of our fare.

Lamb Sagwala: Creamed spinach & garlic with lamb – SO YUMMY!!!!!!!! This was unanimously in the top two of our selection that evening… must… eat… more…

Mushroom Curry: I can’t remember what it was called or what else was in it, but it was sooooooooooooooooooooo yummy. This was equal first with the Lamb Sagwala. I don’t think I’ve ever had a mushroom curry before but this had nice big bits of mushroom. So tasty for a vego curry!

And of course we had a Cheese N Garlic Naan to go with our meal. All curries came with some colourful rice! Watch out for the cardamon pods though, they add lots of fragrance and flavour to the rice but not so nice if you bite into one.

I will definately have to go back and try some of the other curries and revisit my favourites. Hope to see you there!
