Reviews Curry Cafe Canteen

The best fish vindaloo and saag paneer ever. I wonder why they are under 4stars. This place deserve to be rated higher. Good price compare to quality of food. I like modern atmosphere and good selection of drinks too.

Great spot on racecourse road & a good fallback option if you don’t feel like laksa king. Always had good experiences. 4 stars as the serving size isn’t very big so you need a few things to fill you up

Grabbed some takeaway while on the run. I tried ringing in advance but the phone rang out so dropped in. Order taken quickly by staff and meal was prepared in under 10 minutes. Although the cafe is average looking on the outside it’s clean inside. Delicious meal, chicken very tender and sauce fabulous. Curry was very good and was extra happy with the portion size. Thank you.

This is our go to place whenever my wife and I crave Indian food. Great tasting food, good spice and good portion size. Service is friendly as well. Definitely a must try if you want to go for Indian food

Quite hungry while on our quest to find a nice house, we ended -up eating here....and were quite happy by the end of our meal. We are usually skeptical to try Indian food outside because most of the times they have failed to impress us, but Curry Cafe Canteen is the closest a restaurant comes to serving authentic Indian (Punjabi) food.

In the afternoon one can only order a meal from their meal options which is quite sufficiently elaborate. Though, they do serve few things from the A-La-Carte section. Since I wasn't too hungry they made an exception and made Malai Kofta for me.

We chose to order Mango Lassi, Veg Kofta with Garlic Butter Naan and two meals consisting of common items such as papad, Kali Daal, mix Veg Salad, Raita (Indian veggies in savory yogurt), rice

a choice of Veg / Non - Veg dish and we chose Lamb Rogan Josh and Butter Chicken for each meal, One has to pay extra for additional dishes that one needs to order.

Veg Kofta was succulent and creamy and spicy (on request)...exactly how I like it. Garlic Naan was thin and crispy, exactly how I had requested them to make. Butter chicken consisted of a perfectly cooked chicken soaked in a buttery sweet / spicy/ savory gravy. What was more surprising was the Lamb Rogan Josh. Though not authentic, lamb was cooked to perfection and was quite moist. Rogan Josh gravy seemed more like a kadhai gravy but no complains at all.

Mango Lassi was a bit sour for our palate and thus did not like it much. 

There other minuses of this place as well. Since they don't have the license to serve liquor or beer inside the restaurant, thus beer are only for takeaways. They don't accept cards as a mode of payment too (which was a bit inconvenient).  

Attendant was very friendly and accommodating.Portions are quite good for the price one pays. What is noteworthy about the menu is the Meal section. A single meal is suffice to feed a single person and is definitely an inexpensive deal.....value for money for sure.
Could have rated them 3.5 due to certain shortcomings but then it's not fair for the food to go unnoticed among all the discomforts.

Very decently priced Indian food. Generous servings and packed with flavor! 👍🏼 Would definitely go back again 😊 Note: even for the chilli die hards, go for a “mild” vindaloo as the “hot” vindaloo absolutely blew my head off! Other curries were perfectly spiced when ordered “hot”.

A great addition to Racecourse Road serving up delicious hearty curries. We came on a Friday night and tables were full with takeaway and ubereats steadily going out the door. We had the tandoori chicken starter, lamb madras, butter chicken, garlic naan and rice. The fluffy garlic naan was a highlight and perfect for dipping into the creamy curries. Chicken was cooked in a traditional tandoor which you can taste and the lamb was incredibly tender. A very enjoyable meal and friendly staff.
Second visit: service was slow and the garlic naan was dense and cardboard like, nothing compared to the fluffy soft naan we had first time around. Fingers crossed it was just an off night.

At last an Indian cafe on Racecourse Rd and it seems we have a good one. We started with the samosa (2 in a serve) and they were perfect served with a sweet tamarind sauce. For mains we shared three curries being Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Rogan Josh & Pumpkin Masala. We also ordered a naan and a Aloo Paratha and rice. The Chicken Tikka & Pumpkin Masala were excellent and full of flavour and both dishes were completely mopped up with the beautiful bread. The Aloo Paratha is highly recommend! The Chicken in the Tikka had a tandoori taste which added to the dish. However the Rogan Josh was a massive disappointment, lacking in flavour and the lamb had completely fallen apart to the point of almost dissolving into the curry sauce. This place is set up for high turnover due to its small size and stool seating and there is nothing wrong with this model so don't expect to settle in for a long night. UPDATE: Second visit and it’s thali time, sensational and great value for money, the butter chicken to die for, the spices really come through, The cardamon especially and so flavoursome. The raita is the best I’ve ever tasted

Went to Flemington for dinner on a Saturday night and everything was really busy, except for this place. Didn't expect the small curries to be so flavoursome and filling. I really like the naan and the thumbs up cola

Have been coming to this local for the past year or so, for their curries and samosa chaat. Curries are fresh and not at all oily (I'm surprised by other negative reviews), very spicy more than your average Indian joint. Cash only unless you order online.

Very nice place, my new favourite Indian in Flemington. Food is fantastic and servings are generous. We had 1 entree, 2 mains, 1 nan and 1 rice, and we ended up bringing home some. Good selection of vegetarian dishes as well as chicken and lamb, but no beef, with craft beers in cans as a bonus amd very reasonably priced. The place is pretty small, worth calling ahead just to be sure. Staff is very friendly. Only mildly negative side, cash only payment. Finally, a word of caution, careful with spicy food. I asked for a hot madras and almost melted off the chair, go for medium. Well worth trying.
