Foreign Return

This is Indian food with a trademark Aussie twist. Foreign Return's menu is full of flavours of once lost recipes that have been carried down through generations. From seafood moilee, tandoori Tassie salmon and Kangaroo Salli Tacoi, this is Australian produce at its most tantalising. And for the lost recipes? Look out for the slow-cooked goat curry from the royal kitchen of Rampur or the laal maans, a slow-cooked hot and spicy venison curry; a delicacy from Rajasthan’s royal kitchens. Last but not least, the cocktail menu is inspired by the different regions of India. Creations are made with a blend of spices, fruits, edible flowers and fresh herbs.

Jaggi’s at Neutral Bay 

Jaggi's adds the spice to Neutral Bay. Warm up with chilli chicken, tandoori prawns, or lamb seekh. The mains then spice things up with the authentic tastes of our favourite curries, butter chicken, lamb madras, fish masala and fragrant prawn vindaloos. Vegetarians are spoiled with the likes of vege korma and eggplant Patiala baigan, and you’ll fail to count all the types of breads available on two hands, there are that many!  

Dish Sri Lankan

Sri Lanka might be small compared to neighbouring India, but it boasts an astounding range of culinary treats. The curries at Dish Sri Lankan are equally as delicious with the authentic flavours of sizzling devilled chicken, peppered lamb and prawn curry. It’s not Sri Lankan food without Kottu Roti. This popular street food is filled with chopped roti, egg, chilli, vegetables and meats. Pair with a mango lush or Sri Lankan iced coffee for the full experience.
