Darra Takeaway

Given my last experience in trying to hunt down Brisbane's best Bánh mì and being severely disappointed. I decided to take matters into my own hands and head to a place I KNOW has what I seek. Darra take-away has been here for years and as you can tell from the line up it is starting to become popular with locals, but also some (like me) making the special trip because you know you are going to get what you pay for. The Bánh mì itself was devine! The bread🍞 was fresh and crispy and the selection of inclusions (pickled carrot, cucumber, mint, corrriander and meats were as traditional flavour hit as it gets. Shop only takes cash so remember to bring your coins cause these $5 baguettes of goodness won't stay a secret for too much longer.

I have always wondered why there were queues outside this place every time I pass this area. Now I know !!!!! The Banh Mi is out of this world. The best Banh Mi I have had in my life thus far. I have tried many but this one is the one to beat. The bread is slightly toasted, warm and soft inside, with tonnes of filling - pork or chicken - with pickled vegetables and chilli if you so desire. I have extra chilli yum. The pate & butter made it even more moreish!!! The young guy who made mine was friendly and speaks great English. I think this is a family run shop because I think his mother & father don't speak English as well. I was able to communicate with him which was a relief. Because I went back for seconds and requested fried eggs. I just felt like eggs and he was more than happy to accommodate and made my special Banh Mi. What a nice guy. He was cute too which is a bonus ;)- A hidden gem and will be back for more.
