Brown-blistered bread brushed with butter is crisp first, then fluffy and soft, releasing dairy aroma with its heat.

Curry Chicken Pancake MetroBites visit photo

Curry Chicken Pancake

Thin layered bread encloses chicken curry; pan browning makes the outside lightly crisp while the inside stays chewy. Spices are clear but mild.

Indian Milk Tea MetroBites visit photo

Indian Milk Tea

Deep brown, aromatic tea and milk blend smoothly. Its Assam-like depth balances buttery bread and refreshes between curry bites.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Taste the bread first, then dip a corner

Taste one hot piece of curry potato naan plain, then dip another corner in curry to compare its dry crust, soft center, and sauce-softened texture.

✨ AI Quick Review

Ri Fa Barada on Zhongxiao Street is about thirteen minutes from Nanshijiao Station. A representative Indian bread shop in the Huaxin Burmese community, it serves charcoal bread, pan-fried bread, and Indian Milk Tea for lovers of dough aroma and mild spice.

Setting and dining atmosphere:After moving from Huaxin Street to nearby Zhongxiao Street, Ri Fa gained a tidier storefront but kept a practical snack-shop layout. Guests drink tea, eat bread, and chat under the arcade amid several languages and a relaxed neighborhood pace.

Butter Naan

The signature blistered bread is brushed with butter. Its crisp surface gives way to a fluffy, soft center, combining dairy aroma, heat, and richness; eat hot or alternate with milk tea.

奶油烤餅

Indian Milk Tea

Deep tea-brown and more aromatic than ordinary milk tea, it has Assam-like depth and a smooth milk-tea body. It supports buttery naan and refreshes between curry pancake bites.

印度奶茶

Curry Chicken Pancake

Like a scallion pancake without scallion, the browned layered bread hides chicken curry. The outside is lightly crisp, the inside chewy, and Indian spices remain clear without strong heat.

咖哩雞煎餅

Curry Potato Naan

Charcoal bread is cut into triangles beside mild, Japanese-leaning potato curry. Taste its scorched crust and soft center plain, then dip for a moist second texture.

咖哩馬鈴薯烤餅
Uncle's saying: tear naan hot and sip tea slowly; fire aroma and neighborhood conversation set this street's breakfast rhythm.
