Review: Curry Steak Goat & Rice Burrito – A Bold Fusion Masterpiece

From the very first bite, it’s clear that this isn’t your average burrito. The Curry Steak Goat & Rice Burrito is a cultural fusion done right — a bold, hearty, and deeply flavorful creation that speaks volumes not just about the ingredients, but about the skill and heart of the cook behind it.

Let’s start with the goat. It’s the star of the show — tender, rich, and perfectly seasoned. Goat can be tricky to cook; it requires just the right amount of time, heat, and balance of spices to get it melting in your mouth without losing its earthy flavor. This cook clearly knew what they were doing. The meat was braised to perfection, soaking up every layer of the curry spice blend like a sponge. There were warm notes of cumin, turmeric, garlic, and something just a little smoky — perhaps allspice or smoked paprika — giving the curry a deep, unforgettable flavor.

Then came the steak, seared with a beautiful crust, adding a juicy, beefy contrast to the goat. Most would be cautious pairing two bold meats in one dish, but here it’s done with confidence — and it works. The steak added a western twist that made the burrito feel familiar, even as the curry took it to new territory.

The rice acted as a perfect mediator in the mix. Fluffy yet structured, it absorbed the sauces without becoming soggy and brought in hints of coconut and ginger — subtle, but purposeful. Wrapped in a soft, lightly toasted flour tortilla, the entire package was balanced in texture and packed with flavor in every bite.

What truly elevates this dish, however, is the cook. You can taste the experience, care, and creativity behind it. This isn’t just a cook following a recipe — this is someone who understands ingredients on an instinctual level. They know how to coax flavor from meat, how to layer spices so the heat builds slowly, and how to compose a dish that tells a story. Their technique is solid — nothing undercooked, nothing overseasoned — but it’s their personal touch that really makes it stand out.

Even the small details were on point: the burrito was tightly wrapped, grilled just enough to give a crisp edge, and served with a cooling side of cucumber raita and fresh cilantro — a refreshing counterpoint to the rich curry.

In short, this burrito is not just food — it’s an experience. It’s a collision of cultures handled with culinary respect and creative vision. The cook behind this dish deserves serious recognition, not just for their execution, but for their ability to bring flavors together in a way that’s both exciting and deeply comforting.

My husband and I tracked the progress of this restaurant the moment they put up a sign during construction. We've ordered food just about every week since they've opened. Since I've eaten their food 5+ times I figured it's about time I wrote a review...

Their Tikka chicken and goat bowls are delicious! My husband and I have only ever ordered the bowls, so I can't account for the tacos or burritos. The Tikka bowl with cilantro lime rice is freakin awesome. I get mine with the tamarind chutney. chefs kiss. My husband grew up in Bahrain and absolutely loves goat so he says this helps him get his fix of something we wouldn't normally cook at home. The samosas are delicious as well. I've tried the samosa chat as well, it's good, but I prefer the samosas by themselves.

The staff and owners are incredibly nice and accommodating. Once, when ordering a bowl I forgot to pick a type of rice; when I arrived they double checked to see if I did want rice and then added it to my meal before I left.

We eat here once a week, and will continue to do so. It is so nice to have some variety in the restaurants in St Johns. I absolutely love that I don't have to travel to Baymeadows for excellent...
