Description



Indian restaurant located at the far (Cong Quynh) end of Bui Vien Street. Open at front, it seats about 30 people either side of a central aisle. The owner/chef used to cook for one of the main restaurants in the CBD but has branched out on his own here. Prices are inexpensive.

Yummy food
Delicious simple spicey food at very reasonable prices. Nothing flash, all dishes remind me of home cooking: plain, tasty, large serves. They do a nice set of breads as well, my favourite being the naans. The place is clean and newly refurbished, but it lacks atmosphere. If the front wall was knocked out and access to the street gained, it would add to the atmosphere, get rid of the need for awful air conditioning, and perhaps attract more customers. For the food deserves more custom than the place currently gets.    [08 Dec 2006 04:02:49]

Renovated and Better...
I wrote the above review back in December of 06. I can now report that they have done exactly what I was advocating: knocked out the front wall and got rid of the aircon. With a wide open frontage and lots of wall fans the place is now a delight to sit in. The food is as excellent as ever. Last night my friend and I ate a Chicken Mirch and a Rogan Josh which were both superb. Pappadams okay and the naan breads perfect, absolutely perfect. Service is good, Heinekens cold and cheap. I love this place.    [19 May 2007 22:44:21]
