If you work or lunch in the city, there are two really nice Indian takeaways worth trying out. One is Little India Takeaway, almost at the corner of King William and Pirie Street (just in from King William on Pirie). I'd been meaning to check it out for some time, as the wonderful smells always grab me as I'm walking past, but didn't do so until last week. Everything is pre-made but fresh and tasty, with a range of both meat and vegetarian dishes. You can get one dish with rice for $8.90 and 2 with rice for $9.90. So far, I have only tried the vegetarian dishes, starting with Palak Paneer last week, which is homemade cheese cooked in a mildly spiced fresh spinach/ sauce. Just today I went back for both the Daal & Mator Paneer. Daal is made with lentils, prepared with tomatoes and a spice blend, and Mator Paneer is another homemade cheese dish with peas, cooked in a cream and tomato sauce, with yet more excellent spices. Plenty of sides available, such as samosas, naan, raita, chutneys and even gulab jamun, which are a gorgeous dessert; honey balls cooked in a sugar, cardamon and cinnamon syrup.
Follow up: With my teeth in limbo I may become a regular here for a while. Stopped by today for a meat pakora which was just perfect, and noticed they also have daily specials. Today's specials were a fish curry and something called Chole Bhature, which is a chickpea/friend bread combination.
