I have been meaning to try Jessie’s for a while now, since some time before I saw it on the Beaufort Street Blog, and I finally found an excuse tonight for Vindaloo Against Violence Day (any excuse for a curry, really), and I have already decided to head back in the next week or so with a group so I can try more than the one dish.

The lamb curry, while generically named, was divine, and could easily rank up there as one of the best curries I have tasted. I would love to taste what they do with a saag lamb or vindaloo (or even beef, which is curiously missing on the menu).

The aloo paratha was, likewise, divine. I ordered it on the spur of the moment, and I don’t think I’ve had one that good anywhere.

Had I visited Jessie’s before I probably wouldn’t have mourned the closing of Suraj nearly as much.

CS, I hope you don’t think I’m as stupid as you are not to notice that your ip address and “foodlover_99″’s are exactly the same. And also that you found the site by typing “Jessie’s Curry Kitchen” into google a number of times over the past couple of weeks.

As for your independent assessment of the Nasi Goreng, I think we’re already heard it, so if your plan was to back up this comment with one agreeing with your alter ego, then I think that failed.

If however, “CS” is actually your rationally minded split personality coming out, then I would definitely be interested to hear what a return visit to Jessie’s in a new frame of mind was like… So feel free to enlighten me.

As you would be aware though, the menu at Jessie’s is a mixture of Malaysian, Indian, and some Sri Lankan dishes, and stems from Jessie and Jeya’s combined heritage.

I await your review with baited breath.

sorry guys i didnt mean to just leave Mmm there. i accidently pressed the submit button. anyways by reading the comments it looks like Nasi Goreng is a quite discussed menu item in Jessie’s kitchen. i think i’m going to try that sometime so that i also can leave my independant comment. i saw this website when looking for indian food. can someone tell me what sort of food is available at this place? thanks

Heya,

Nice review. I live in Perth and had eaten in every indian restaurant (or almost) there is.

Keeping of the dining experience aside, I believe Anghiti in Innaloo is arguably the best ! Their chicken curries are out of the world and addictive. After a huge gap it is followed by Little chutneys and Royal India. But its about the “taste” of the food and the dining experience is okay.

i find it absolutely hilarious when either matt, brad or jeya has proven a point to one of many food_lover99’s outlandish statements that he/she cannot come back with the goods and completely changes the subject.

It basically proves that food_lover99 has no substance whatever to his argument and that this person’s comments are just simply tomfoolery and simply shouldn’t be taken notice.

Let me hear food_lover99…where can you feed a family of 4 for $36.50 at a place other than a fast-food establishment? or how can you condemn a whole menu based on your tasting of one item of the menu? or can you make and sell a real good tasting nasi goreng for less than $10? Please tell me, we’re all looking forward to your answers.

I suggest now “food_lover”99 you quit while you’re ahead…or should i say ‘quit while you’re behind’ because you are continuously making a fool of yourself. Back up your claims before you go any further…

For the past six months i have been ordering 2 Nasi Gorengs a week for lunch from Jessie, and each time my mouth explodes from all the flavours.( I don’t have dinner that night because I am still full) I have recommended my friends to this fine establishment and all come back grinning. You go girl!! xxx

its true that the only dish i had from ur place was the Nasi Goreng. but what im saying is a Nasi Goreng must be a Nasi Goreng. as a single person i would go to a restauraunt to have a nice dish after getting bored with my crappy cooking. so at that place if i dont get what i expect, then i get really angry. i dont think i owe an apology cos this is my opinion. i dont have a personal grudge with u cos u are black and i am white. thats all i have to say.

Food_Lover99 thanks for ur wonderfull comments on Jessies Food. Its amazing to hear u say crap potion sizes, tasteless curries and its says nasi goreng on the menu etc,etc. Do u really know whats nasi goreng is ?. It would have been good of u to have called Jessies and fed back ur dislike for her food. I dont know where u are coming from. Just after eating one dish u seem to condemn everything else on the menu. What are u trying to achieve here. Jessies have been around for 4 years and everyone who has eaten her nasi goreng have always come back for more. Only yesterday we sold a lot of nasi goreng and everyone enjoyed it. Its really very sad that u have either have some dislike for us or u would not be saying comments of this nature. Whatever the circumstances u are more than welcome to come and talk to us about the food u bought from us. Also our portion sizes are bigger than any of the Indian Restaurants in town. Our prices are reasonable and not cheap as u have assumed. I would say most of the comments u made about Jessies is not warranted and I think u owe us an apology.
