Delivering the nostalgic flavours of India to Melbourne, head to Canteen India on Burwood Highway in Vermont South to taste authentic recipes from Maharashtra, Gujarat and Punjabi. Serving Mumbai street food such as vada pav, pav bhaji, chowpati chaat and thalis, settle into cosy tables amongst glowing neon signage and walls covered with an eclectic mix of artwork to peruse an extensive menu from Saturday brunch to delicious vegetarian options. Say namaste to snacks like vada pav – a deep-fried potato dumpling sandwiched in a soft bread roll with sweet and tangy chutney, mildly spiced green and spicy red garlic chutney – before curries like butter chicken in a creamy, rich nut-based sauce, served with steamed rice and cheese naan. Vegetarians opt for mixed vegetable Hyderabadi curry.
