Walaiwan's Kitchen, Montpelier, Vermont

Wow, wow, wow! This place has delicious food and at a spectacular price. It lacks indoor space, which in Vermont is a bit of an issue much of the year, but the set up is great. They have a window onto the street, a couple of tables on the sidewalk and a couple inside. They no longer serve anything but main dishes, and while the four tables filled up while we were there eating and occupying one of them, they are primarily a grab and go place.

Here is the set up--they have three things on the menu, and they change each week--which is great if you want to be a frequent flyer rather than someone who has the same dish each time--I would definitely have had both dishes we ordered on a return trip, but would also welcome three other choices, the food was that good). It is not vegetarian friendly--there was a pork, a chicken, and a beef dish when we were there, and all of them had a good level of spice, and very complicated curry flavors with layers of ginger, onion, lemongrass, and basil. It was so yummy and well worth just getting off the highway and making a pit stop to pick up food if you are not actually headed for Montpelier but rather passing through. They do have a call ahead option for ordering.
