    Really badly flavored food! Chicken tikka masala was not only yellow in color but also tasting like obnoxious with no salt and spices! Butter chicken is hard to recognize or even manage to eat it! Despite us telling them to make the chowmein spicy, the chef couldn’t make it the way it is in Nepal or India! Prawn curry has green peas in it which is never a part of the recipe and was also uncooked! Even the service was very slow and unprofessional! The waitress was hardly polite. Horrible experience!

    A group of friends and I went for a mini reunion and we loved the food here. It was very delicious and nostalgic of being in India. Our server was super helpful in recommending dishes and helping us order the best food. The wait for food was a little long, but I think we just came on a busy night. The meals were SUPERB and tasted just like what we remembered from India.

    Great flavors done to our hotness level perfectly. Informative server and you can tell they have a passion and for their food. Interesting sauces, and a nice yogurt to cool off the heat.

    Had the chicken thupka. As others have mentioned slow service. The soup had good color, aroma and presentation. Disappointingly that was as far as it went. Bland chicken broth base that tasted like a generic store bought canned soup. Wanted it to be better.

    It was our first visit. We brought our daughter who regularly eats Indian food in Colorado. She very much enjoyed the meal. We had chicken momo. Delicious! Followed by chicken korma, vegetable noodles and fresh naan. It was all very good. Service was great. Prices were reasonable. We will definitely go back soon!

    The food was great. It was flavorful with large portions. One person was busy managing those dining in and lots of take out orders.

    It took a while for our order to come but it was absolutely worth the wait. Delicious food, full of flavor. Lots of vegetarian options and great spice levels!

    Such great food! We stopped for lunch and got a lot of different items on the menu. Our server was nice and our food came out quite quickly. The flavors were perfection! I definitely recommend!

    Flavors of India is SO good, the best in the area by FAR. They have things like dahi puri and papdi chaat. If you go to Montreal for your Indian food, you might not need to anymore. The staff is also so kind and the food is AMAZING. Please try it!!

    Great meal, great service. Highly recommend the chicken samosas, veggie pakoras and the pumpkin curry. Will definitely be putting this in our regular rotation.

    Lovely atmosphere and great food! Choice of Nepali or Burmese. We go here all the time and love the curries! Nice family who owns/runs it too.

  • 5/5 Sharon H. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious Burmese and Nepali food! My favorite app is Gin Thoke. Pumpkin coconut curry is excellent! Poh is a gracious hostess. My family's favorite Essex Junction restaurant.

    Easily one of the best, reasonably price dinner spots in Chittenden County. The Nepalese and Burmese menus are loaded with great stuff, but my recommendation would be to order what you've never heard of. I've eaten almost everything on the menu at this point. Here are the highlights: Lapet Thoke - it's a small salad made from fermented tea leaves, roasted garlic, some peas, cabbage, and a handful of other flavors and spices that I can't place. It is incredibly flavorful and for me one of the most interesting things you can eat in Vermont. Aloo Tikki - a Nepalese fried mash potato... or something? I don't know how to describe it, but the texture is that of mashed potatoes, but the exterior is slightly crispy like a french fry (or hashbrowns). It's served with a nice sauce to dunk it in as well. Stupidly good. Bhuteko Bhat - if you've ever had legit fried rice you know it's on another level from what you get at 99% of takeout joints. This is the good kind of fried rice. Sahi Korma - a more standard curry that they make flawlessly. Not overly sweet, nice herbaceous flavor, very rich and comforting.

    We had a nice meal here. Pleasant, attentive service, and the dishes we had were all fresh and tasty. It is a tasteful no frills renovation of an older commercial space. Will most definitely return.

    Fantastic! First time trying Nepali food and it did not disappoint! Brought in our own bottle of wine. Great atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!

  • 3/5 Stephanie C. 1 year ago on Google
    First restaurant I ate at when I moved to Essex. The lady who helped me at the counter was extremely kind and the vibe of the restaurant seemed nice. I was incredibly disappointed when I got home to eat my take-out (curry and rice) and I paid around 20 bucks for basically about one cup of watery, mildly flavored sauce with ONE cube of paneer in it and a little bit of rice. I was absolutely floored that they would give me so little food for that price. No one is ordering a meal to eat one cube of paneer. Really disappointed as I'd love to get them business, but I don't have the money to make this mistake again.

    Amazing experience! Had a large enough group to be able to try a lot of dishes. Loved the Samosas, Gin Thoke, Pumpkin Coconut Curry, Kyar Zan Thoke, MoMo's, Saag Paneer, and a few others. This is the place to go for dinner near five corners!

  • 5/5 Michael M. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommend Irrawaddy for folks looking for tasty food. For my first time there, I exclusively ordered from the Burmese menu; Lapet Thoke, Chicken Samosa, Pumpkin Coconut Curry and Bok Choy Mushroom we're the dishes I tried. The Lapet Thoke was hands-down the highlight of the meal - Super unique flavors and textures in the dish (If you don't order it, you're seriously missing out). The staff was also a great highlight of my stop in! I'll definitely be back to try some dishes off the Nepali menu next.

  • 5/5 Emily R. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this place. Ginger and tofu salads were great. The saag paneer, pumpkin curry, kyar zan thoke, and ohno khauk swel were AMAZING. We were only in town for a few days but ended up eating here twice. Staff was great and the patio was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

    The food here is amazing! I love the lapet thoke especially—so crunchy and packed with flavor. It’s a great space with gorgeous photos of Myanmar. Everyone is super kind and helpful. It has a really interesting Burmese menu that I definitely recommend you try, plus lots of Nepali foods that will be more familiar to many folks. We’re so lucky to have this spot in the Burlington area!

    We really enjoyed the food here. Never had paneer pakours before - a nice treat. The curries and sag paneer were all well prepared. They seem to have a specialty rice that went very well with the food they prepared very well – not your typical bleached white bland rice. And the prices are very reasonable – too much food for $120 with a generous tip for 4 adults. We would all go again.
