Curry Fries

Looking for a take-out style place in Toronto that serves fries with curry sauce, I know its popular in England, so does anyone know of a place here?

    It's not take out, but Stratenger's on Queen East does a great chicken curry, and will serve it on fries if you ask (although they give you odd looks sometimes). Especially good with the tall, cheap beer.

      Many Indian restaurants who do take out also have fries on the menu; just ask them to spoon some curry sauce over the fries.

        Duke of Gloucester has them. One of my faves!

        I wonder why more places in Toronto don't have curry gravy. In Ottawa, everywhere I went they served a gravy spiced with curry.. so good.

          I'm liking the sound of these, but not quite visualizing it.

          Is it like a gravy with curry flavour / seasoning?
          Or a curry sauce without meat and veg?

            They're two different things. But talking about curry sauce with fries made me think about curry gravy and fries.

            Curry sauce is a thick, dark yellow, Indian-style curry.

            Curry gravy is gravy spiced with curry powder. That's the stuff I found everywhere in Ottawa.

            Sorry to confuse!

              There's a third option as well. Frites with curried mayo (or an aioli) is a popular street snack in the Netherlands and Belgium. Delicious.

                Yes, I didn't think of that; I agree, it is so delicious!

                I made some curry aioli last week to accompany a batch of bacalhau croquettes. Great stuff.

          A lot of pubs which do fries & gravy will do fries & curry sauce on request (i.e. it's not on the menu) and at the same price (around $4), particularly if you've had a drink there.

            I don't know if they do take-out, but Irish Embassy at Yonge/Welling has a tasty curry/fry combo.

              Queen's Head pub in Burlington lists it in their sides, but I think they just open a can of Patak's. See link - http://www.thequeenshead.ca/navigatio...

                Murphy's Law at Queen/Kingston Rd. has a curry sauce for fries.

                  It might just be a curry mayo but Chippy's has some curry thing you can order on the side...

                      I didn't like their curry gravy when i tried it. I was pretty disappointed.

                      I thought this thread said "curly fries".
