Breakfast and curry at Elly's Cafe

Elly's Cafe located in South Croydon has been noted for famous bacon and good fry ups in mylondon news so I decided to check it out.

Competition is fierce as there is another cafe just accross the road.

I visited twice for and had chicken curry on the first visit and a fry up on the second visit.

The portion of the chicken curry was huge as you not only get coleslaw but there is salad as well.

Visually, it was very impressive as you can see shreds of chicken as well as huge chunks of chicken.

You can really taste the herbs in it like oregano and thyme which gives it that English curry character.

Overall, it was filling but the rice was a little soft.

Returning another day for breakfast, I had the set which included black pudding.

It was a little disappointing as many of the items were a bit dry and fried for too long reflected in the dry barley in the black pudding.

It's been a couple of years since the last visit so went back to Elly's for some curry chicken and spaghetti.

The reason, I had spaghetti was the rice was too soft on the last visit.

Chilli con Carne with spaghetti would have probably been a better pairing which I shall have next time.

The chicken curry was a bit different to the last visit, the pieces of chicken were chunky and there were no shredded chicken pieces.

The taste was very clear this time, it reminded me of the curry pancake rolls at school and the onions so the curry powder used is probably the same one.
