few successes, but generally the local Indian places conduct keep been reasonably priced, reasonably tasty, slightly dull - zero to actually inspire our loyalty. Especially non when it comes to conduct keep away.
J-Wow told us that Spicy Junction on Johnston Street was worth checking out, in addition to thus I wandered past times on the agency dwelling menage to lodge something to conduct keep dwelling menage in addition to enjoy. The card looked quite impressive, alongside loads of vego options, but they were inexplicably closed. Luckily I had a fallback innovation - I'd wandered upward Rathdowne Street on my agency dwelling menage i eve in addition to stumbled across De Orchid, an Indian identify nigh a block from our menage that had completely passed us by. Luckily they were opened upward in addition to their card was every bit veg-friendly. We ordered 3 curries (to brand certain nosotros scored about leftovers for tiffin the adjacent day): Saag Paneer, Baingan Bharta in addition to Malai Kofta - ii onetime favourites in addition to an eggplant curry that we'd tried i time on our travels overseas in addition to loved. We threw inward a naan staff of life in addition to about rice as well, making a pretty substantial charge for me to convey home.
De Orchid delivered in all probability the best inexpensive Indian we've had inward Melbourne: all 3 curries were impressive (and impressively creamy - it's in all probability best non to know whatever nutritional data nigh them), the staff of life was laced alongside garlic in addition to cooked perfectly in addition to the rice was... good the rice was only rice. The spice levels were nigh perfect for me, which meant they were in all probability a tad on the hot side for Cindy, but she yet enjoyed her repast immensely - especially the Baingan Bharta, which nosotros conduct keep to endeavour to brand ourselves i day. The saag paneer was pretty skillful likewise - rich in addition to tasty, alongside a fairly generous scattering of paneer bits in addition to the malai kofta, field a picayune on the saucy side, was non undelicious.
So, an unassuming local Indian identify alongside zero inward detail to recommend it, takes the Pb inward our bespeak for a skillful local curry shop. We'll yet give Spicy Junction a go, but it'll conduct keep to hold upward rattling skillful to overtake De Orchid.
Update 4/9/09: After existence 'temporarily' unopen for nigh on a year, De Orchid has late reopened. My kickoff impressions: things conduct keep gone downwards colina - but we'll in all probability give them about other run a endangerment in addition to write a proper review.
Update 10/2/10: It appears that De Orchid is no to a greater extent than at this address. There's an Indian eating seat alongside a unlike refer inward its place, in addition to we've non yet tried it. It's unclear whether the De Orchid has changed names, changed locations or disappeared entirely.
