Sauma with al fresco tables, Northbridge.

Punchy Indian street-food flavours feature at this corner location in Northbridge that always has the windows open wide. Interesting antiques surround the main bar dispensing Indian-inspired cocktails and Swan Valley beers, while the shared tables are crowded with diners tucking into chai-smoked oysters, chargrilled chilli-squid salad and a terrific, rustic goat curry.
