Tandoori Kona Restaurant
11700 Cambie Rd, Richmond | 604.279.9259

Tandoori Kona Restaurant on Urbanspoon

Every now and then K and I would like to indulge in some indian food. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend, his words: " I come here almost every weekend"
I just have to say, we might end up seeing him here every weekend! They have the best butter chicken. <3

Upon our arrival, we were served this appetizer.
I don't know what you call this, but its chips with sweet chutney.
Super yummy Butter Chicken! 
The Matter Paneer was also very yummy, however the butter chicken was sweeter
The Paneer and Butter Chicken each came with a bowl of rice. I was so amazed by the rice, unlike chinese/ japanese rice, this rice is long and the ends always point upwards. Looks a bit like water lilies.

Burgoo on Urbanspoon

I don't know why but I was craving for sandwiches today, not any old sandwich, but the sandwiches from Burgoo. I remember I came here back in April, it was my first time and I loved ever since! Its situated in such a nice neighborhood, 4th Avenue, my high school was near here so I'm quite familiar with the area. They have 4 locations all over the mainland and have great reviews on urbanspoon (84% and up).


Menu - Really nice texture!

I heard they have the est cheese fondue, never got the chance to try it :(
 This was a date with my boyfriend so we each got a Soup + Sandwich
 Didn't end up ordering dessert cause we were both so full :(
 Indoor area where we sat, we went around 3pm and it was a really nice day so it was empty inside
 The outdoor area, Hello Mr. Sunshine! long time no see!
 My meal: Seafood Portage (soup) + Dos Diablos (sandwich)
My boyfriends meal: Straight up Tomato (soup) + Gooey Cheese Grillers (sandwich)

I just love they way they make their sandwiches, crunchy on the outside and filled with melty cheese and other good stuff on the inside. I thought the Straight up Tomato soup was a little sour, but it really grows on you, definitely a perfect match for the Gooey Cheese Grillers. As for the Seafood Potage, lots of mussels/ clam, I can't really tell the difference but nonetheless a really creamy soup, kind of reminds me of clam chowder. Dos Diablos = my favorite! I really can't put into words how good this was. Really have to try it for yourself.
They give you your bill and change in a dim sum container with little thank you sweets, their not in the picture cause obviously we ate them
Until next time!
