Follow the wafting aromas of Indian spice along Summer Street in Orange, to find new restaurant on the block Maithil Rasoi. Indian artwork and accents add an authentic touch for dining at dark wood tables adorned with red napery, under the soft glow of pendent globes; as diners ponder a traditional menu given a modern twist. Vegetarians are well catered for with tasty starters of housemade paneer pakoda – cottage cheese, battered in chickpea flour and spices and fried until golden brown – while jumbo tandoori prawns, yoghurt and garlic may entice seafood lovers. Those who like their curries hot, can dip a spoon into beef vindaloo, with sides of basmati rice, cheese and garlic naan; or perhaps classic butter chicken in a rich tomato sauce, cream, butter and fenugreek leaf hits the spot.
