金華街咖哩屋(Janny Curry House) — Restaurant in Da'an District

Stumbled across this rare gem a few months ago. My family and I absolutely love Indian food, but could never find a place that truly suited us, especially with two toddlers. Then we stumble across this treasure trove and we dove right in. We have gone back 3, 4, maybe even 5 sometimes every week if schedules allow, of course. Obsessed with the food, cooked deliciously for cheap. The cheap prices of the food don’t do the savory, curry-rich flavors justice to the mouthwatering, parched mouth feeling I get right when I’m about to devour my spicy curry chicken (my favorite meat choice out of them all) and my tea. Also, the 小菜s are to DIE for. Literally DIE. 🤤 Not only that, it’s not just the food that keeps me and my family of four coming back. It’s the management. Perfect amount of professionalism while also maintaining an air about him that is just so friendly, kind and caring. But not so much to where he won’t stop talking to you. He knows his customers and takes an interest in them, thus he knows when to give them space. A damn near rare gem that I never could’ve imagined occurring, this little happy accident. Sustainably satiates my family for an entire weeks worth of food. Five f✨cking stars

Nice! What they served is a Chinese style we called Kam Hiong 金香 where the curry mix is based on dried spices and (chilli) oil. I love the beef version as the beef fat sweetens the curry, while the pork rib pumpkin version taste a little like Japanese curry (especially with the Chinese pearl rice) with the pumpkin flesh, and a little bitter aftertaste. The free milk tea is cinnamon based, but my personal favorite is more cardamom 小豆蔻 though maybe they can consider haha. This reminds me of wet combat...

Very simple menu with maybe 6 curry set meals to choose from. The set includes a small salad and your choice of white or tumeric rice (no naan) and a drink (coffee, tea or lemon juice. Unfortunately even with such a simple menu it took a very long time to get our food! When we did get it the portions were very nice. Flavor ok. Honestly I feel like this is Indian food adjusted for the Taiwan diners palette. But I did appreciate that they had a vegetarian option for me. And for $260nt the price...
