The Resistance Bar & Cafe

🍔🍔🍔 Curry AF 🍔🍔🍔 * Papadam Crumbed Fried Chicken * Mango Chutney * Liquid Cheese Sauce * Mum's Secret Curry Powder * Coconut Yoghurt Coleslaw * Sliced Up Red Chillies * House Baked Bun * Spicy Chipotle Mayo Drum roll please..... 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 My #1 spot on my Melbourne Burger Tour goes to the Curry AF from The Resistance Bar & Cafe & Aindogs_Burgers collaboration. So the Sri Lankan crew at The Resistance Bar & Cafe got together with the Sri Lankan Melbourne Prince Aindogs_Burgers and made magic. Firstly let me say I have never given out a unicorn in my 686 TBC reviews, and even though this burger probably was the closest burger to almost get one. I decided nothing in life is perfect, and there is always room for improvement. So I gave it the next best thing to a unicorn, that's just my opinion, but who knows that might change one day..... So X-Ray_Mike & Burger_Grandmaster no more peer pressure for me to give out a unicorn. Thank you Okay now let's talk about this magical burger. This burger had so many delicious flavours. The crunch from the papadam coating was amazing. Plus the chicken was melting in my mouth, so soft and tender. The spice level was perfect for this white boy, and yes I went with the Sri Lankan spicy version (Spicy Chipotle Mayo added). It was hot but I didn't burn my backside off that night. No ordinary coleslaw here as well, it was a coconut yoghurt infused one. Oh don't forget about the sweetness and tang from the delicious mango chutney. So that concludes my Melbourne Burger Tour... If you only get a chance to eat one burger while in Melbourne, it has to be the Curry AF. I'm not a huge Indian/Sri Lankan food lover, but I would eat this again without thinking twice about it. If you're able to eat more than one, I recommend my top five for sure! 1/11

A genius combination of double beef, plenty of cheese, maple bacon, spiced pickled onion, and the hero.. creamy sweet pepper Mayo🥰 The beef here is always amazing. Thick, juicy, perfectly seasoned, covered in a blanket of melted cheese. The homemade buns are also some of the best around, so really, no matter what you order, you’re set! This burger took perfection and made it even better, with some of the best sauce and perfectly streaky, glazed bacon.. perfectly balanced with the spiced onions🔥🔥🔥

Because I’m low key obsessed with these ‘Motz’ style burgers, i’m on a mission to try them all😂😂😂 This one can be found at The Resistance Bar & Cafe - but only until the 31st of January 😭😭😭 Of course as soon as I heard about this limited time special I had to go try it😍😍 (& add a third smashed patty for good measure😎) I’m glad so did - as these patties are a lot smaller than I expected, the usual beef burgers are super thick... but the patties had a nice crust, were seasoned perfectly, and cooked to perfection😍 The sauce was one of the best things ever, with cheeky bit of chilli to take it to the next level.. & these house made buns are the best in the business in my opinion🔥🔥 Would’ve like a bit more of a wider smashed patty to fit the bun, & felt like for $19.50 I was a little hungry afterwards, but apart from that, this was perfect😍

Do you like curry? Do you like fried chicken? Do you like burgers? Congratulations, you’ve found your match made in heaven. Honestly the balance of flavours in this burger is just ridiculous. I like to think I’m quite adventurous when it comes to food, and I’ll try a bit of anything, so I was eager to get my hands round this. The collab between mr Aindogs_Burgers and The Resistance is basically a unicorn as far as rarity. Consisting of a house made milk bun, papadam crusted fried chicken which is also dusted in Ainsley’s mum’s secret curry powder, only to be finished with a coconut yoghurt slaw, mango chutney, sliced chillies and liquid cheese. There are a few elements to this burger, but all of them work together well. It’s like they all just decided to crash the flavour party in your mouth and just make it infinitely better. The kids that spike the punch at the formal, if you will.

🌶️👩‍🎤🌶️ HOT CHICK 🌶️👩‍🎤🌶️ 🐔 Buttermilk Fried Chicken Breast 🧀 Liquid Cheese Sauce 🌶️ Raw & Pickled Jalapenos 🥗 Iceberg Lettuce 💦 Resistance Chili Sauce 💦 Chipotle Aioli If you're looking for some of the best fried chicken in Melbourne well you can't go past this place. Even if you only love thigh piece, these guys cook it so well you wouldn't even notice because it's so damn succulent. The coating is banging with flavours and has a bloody mean crunch factor. Chilli sauce is damn tasty but not very hot because they had ppl like X-Ray_Mikecomplaining it was too hot. Liquid cheese on fried chicken is just epic. Special note 😘 The buns here are amazing because they make it themselves and it's a hybrid milk/ brioche bun, so it's super soft without being overly sweet. It's Aindogs_Burgers birthday so they might bring back the Curry AF 😲 wish they brought it back while I was down in Vic 😭.

Great burger and great vibes. Add an extra chicken patty for a wild time 👌

My number 1 burger I replace I beef patty for fried chicken no extra cost It’s perfection nothing more to say

I added fried chicken cos I couldn't not. This burger was unbelievable, I don't know if I'm a really impressionable burger eater or if I just have low standards but it feels like every burger I eat these days is the best one ever - which is pretty good I guess. The bun that they bake themselves was incredible, big enough to support my added chicken and stayed together very nicely. The chicken itself was exquisite, crispy yet supple, and almost tangy but not enough to be too noticeable. Sauce tasted great and can't forget the chips which were more than decent too.
