Restaurants with fantastic condiments/sauces/dips

[Swankalicious]

I love Brian Poe's sauces and condiments -- tequila cream cheese, coconut mayo, poblano & bleu cheese sauce - yum!

I'm also a fan of Jody Adams's green mango-tamarind and peanut chutney at TRADE. I'm now hankering to try the lobster guac at Temazcal.

Whose condiments/sauces/dips do you love?

casablanca cambridge is closing next month. went with a friend late afternoon today for nostalgia and good mezze. the mezza platter is great; I will miss this place.

[opinionatedchef]

ME TOO. i associate it with DR, a real Harv Sq institution.Some enterprising person should get in there and remove the murals for a nostalgiac preservation/reuse.

[Blumie]

The "extra" hot sauce at Chacarero.

[Jpan99]

The sauces served with the bread at Helmand in Cambridge. I don't remember what they are but there are three of them and all delicious!

[jpcat]

The fava bean puree served with breadsticks at Scampo.

[pang]

La Chouffe mustard served with the cheese boards at the Publick House in Brookline. Bottle it, please!

[opinionatedchef]

[mkfisher]

This sounds amazing. Am I correct to assume it's made with actual La Chouffe (a wonderful belgian strong ale)?

[Boston_Otter]

Another awesome condiment at Strip T's is the miso mayo that they serve with the Japanese sweet potato wedges. Dunno what's in it, but I'd eat it on a carburetor.

The BBQ sauces at Soulfire in Allston are hands down the best around IMO, delicious, varied and fresh.

[tazia]

Saus has quite the array of condiments. They even have rotating sauce specials each week. I think they might make their own mayo. The Vampire Slayer (garlic mayo) is fantastic on their fries.

[Dave MP]

I was at Ali's Roti in Mattapan today, and there was a slightly spicy condiment for the roti that I really liked. It was like an apple slaw - finely chopped apples, lots of ground coriander and pepper, and a hint of chili.

Incidentally, the shrimp curry there was great (and seems to be consistently great) - shrimp perfectly cooked and tender.

[teezeetoo]

YoMa's balachong ? (the side dish that all burmese rice crispies, garlic, chili, etc.). the garlic sauce at garlic n' lemons.

[Matt H]

Was it an apple chutney?

Speaking of Roti shops and sauces, the Tamarind Sauce at Singh's Roti is the best I've had anywhere.

[Dave MP]

I guess you might call it a chutney, but it was dry - I am pretty sure the apples were uncooked, and they were in tiny shreds.

[Bob Dobalina]

At Machu Picchu Charcoal Chicken, I like the somewhat spicy yellow sauce and the spicier green sauce - on take-out, a significant portion of the chicken never makes it to plating - just pop the tops, pull off a piece and dip.

[spikemom]

the salsa bar at Picante Mexican Grille in Camgridge- they have six different salsas, that are all so fresh and yummy, and the REALLY hot one is so good you can;t stop eating it even though you are in tears

[nasilemak]

Second that!

[pocketviking]

Third that!

[mkfisher]

We love the pimento cheese dip that comes with the pretzels at Area Four.

[C. Hamster]

Pedro Sauce at Casa Del Pedro is absolutely addictive!

[nasilemak]

The coconut chutney at Biryani Park and satay sauce at Penang.

[Dave MP]

I also immediately thought of Biryani Park when I read this....I loved all of the chutneys that I tried there.

As I reported last week, I thought the tamarind sauce at Darbar in Brighton was really good.

I like the two salsas that come free with chips at Mi Pueblito in East Boston, especially the green salsa.

The sauces you can get with the waffles at Saus are good too!
