May 21, 2007: Gertrude Street Grub - Bangla Curry Cafe Together With Sweets

Update, Jan 24 2013: Bangla Curry Cafe has closed.

Mon brought amongst it our commencement existent gustation of wintertime for the twelvemonth together with prompted me to corporation a piddling farther than commons inwards search of a suitably warming workday lunch. Bangla Curry Cafe does a daily luncheon special: curry, naan, rice together with pappadum for $10.95, together with it seemed the easiest option. Unfortunately, the exceptional is express to entirely a handful of curries - only dal or mixed vegie curry for vegetarians. I opted for the mixed vegie curry - the commons array of potato, peas, cauliflower together with mushrooms inwards a spicey together with slightly sugariness curry sauce. The breadstuff together with rice were fairly touchstone fare - it was all hearty together with warming, but a piddling on the mediocre side when Fitzroy has together with then much else to offering (e.g. some other leftover-less solar daytime today works life me returning to Newtown S.C., where the tomato, vegetable together with lentil soup was divine).

The affair that sets Bangla apart from the multitude of other Indian places some is the array of sweets on offering at the counter - burfi, jamun, ladoo, halwa together with many others. Unfortunately I'm non a huge fan of Indian sweets - perchance it's worth getting Cindy to drib past times i day.
