The Treasury Burlington Part Deux

After my writeup of The Treasury - Indian and Greek Kitchen in Burlington, I still had tons of money on my gift card, so the story continues here.

They do did have a changing list of exciting specials. They finally added the lunch menu to their website. The Greek section has its own website.

Gyro Plate ($15). "Lemon oregano grilled chicken or seasoned roasted lamb with house-made greek sauce, choice of warm pita bread or basmati rice, french fries, chef's salad." Lamb and Pita bread, as you can see. There is a big heap of sliced lamb beneath all the sauce. The lamb was tender and tasted of lamb, which is quite rare. The fries were outstanding, and the little salad was good. I'm soo happy with the food and service here. Unfortunately, there was no lunch menu available today. 11/16/21

The grapevine and the website now state that they have a lunch menu, so I returned with my gift card for another visit. Lunch Butter Chicken ($15) with basmati rice and Masala fries. I have never had fries with Indian food, but the fries are soo good that they were a real treat. Perfectly cooked rice. The butter chicken ordered medium was excellent, and it had an actual pat of butter on top. Creamy, well-seasoned gravy. This was a wonderful lunch, and they are returning to my lunch rotation again. This might seem a tad pricey for lunch, but it's a significant portion with plenty of chicken. Linen tablecloths, napkins, and fresh flowers aren't free. 05/15/22

They have an Egg Curry (15) on the lunch menu that wasn't available on my last visit. This might look like your generic curry, but it was excellent. How good was it? This is now my favorite curry, superseding the Vindaloo. The eggs were cooked extraordinarily well, with the yolk just setting. The curry itself was redolent with spices and thick and creamy. As usual, the rice was cooked perfectly. How do they do that? Masala Fries, because they are soo good. 06/13/22

Souvlaki lamb skewer (10) with Fries. This was a perfect size since I just wanted something smallish. The fries were excellent, crispy, and fluffy. The dipping sauce was also delicious. However, my request for rare lamb must have gone astray since the lamb was so overcooked that it wasn't really edible. 07/18/22

Lunch Chicken Kolhapuri (15). "shallow-fried chicken cooked with fiery red sauce made with a blend of 30+ ingredients". It was a fiery red sauce, alright. I think it was all dark meat, perfectly cooked. Now we have a competition here for the best lunch dish! I really enjoyed this, and of course, the Masala Fries was, as usual, outstandingly good. 07/25/22
