Delicious dosas, piquant Goan curries and the soft seductive tastes of India's south make this sizeable, well-established Darlinghurst restaurant a standout. The open kitchen and decor, with large black-and-white photos adorning the walls, add atmosphere. The owner and staff are very genial and will guide you through the substantial menu. You can BYO wine. It's wise to book ahead.

There's a vegan menu with the likes of vegan butter chicken.
