The Serve Bistro and Tandoor

The Serve Bistro and Tandoor

We have been coming here for a few years, last year it changed its name from Little India Bistro & Tandoor to The Serve Bistro and Tandoor. It has the same food and staff just a different name.

It is a medium sized restaurant that is clean and the staff all look professional. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

 For Entees we order the Chilli Pakoras, it is green chilli's with a chickpea  batter that is fried. The chillis are fresh and have a nice bite to it. They come with a refreshing mint chutney.

We ordered the vegetarian main called Phool Ghobi Tikka which is Florets of cauliflower marinated in yoghurt and spices, and cooked in the tandoor with capsicums and onions. Served with mint chutney. The cauliflower was cooked well, not over cooked but perfect. The spices just added flavour and not heat.

We always order a couple of vegetarian curry's and a beef curry and a lamb curry. It does not matter which ones you order as they are always fresh and tasty. We have never had a bad curry here.

I hope you like the pics.

The Local Taphouse

The Local Taphouse

Last night we went out for dinner to The Local Taphouse. Its a small old school pub, beer bottles lining the walls. A typical kitschy type of place we go to. The staff are friendly, quick service and always lovely to go here.

When you walk up the stairs on the left is the bar with an awesome selection of beers.

Whats the point going to a pub if you don't have beer?

 Our Friend had the Haanbakk Oak aged Ale

I had the beer paddle which is 5 different beers (90ml) each but still fun to do.

You start from the left (lightest beer) and drink to the left (darkest beer).

I started with the Mclaren Vale Indian Pale Ale from South Australia, very light and fruity with slight bitterness after taste.

Next was the Doghouse Indian Pale Ale from New South Wales, quiet hoppy with a bit of bitterness, but still great.

I had the Jerome Lambic next from Illawarra Brewing Co, New South Wales, it had a  red wine taste to it, but was also slightly sour. 

Madamin is from Loverbeer Italy, tasted like cherries but not as heavy as the next beer.

Last was Boon Kriek  from Brouweri in Belguim which was another Lambic .It was like drinking cherries. It had a very strong flavour.

We had Cream Korokke with apple sauce, with chips and mayonnaise.

The korokke was very crispy with the creamy center and just went so well with apple sauce. You can never go wrong with chips can you?

I had the 3 beer burger, it was really juicy and tasty

Kim Had the Beef Green Curry, it had some chilliness to it. But was still lovely.

After all that we ordered desert..Why it sounded amazing

Bread and butter pudding with a toffee sauce

 It is definitely a place to try for good food and burgers.

Kind regards
