Savoury Dishes Made for Sharing
Our meal began with high energy as sizzling chicken tikka arrived on a hot cast-iron plate, complete with fresh lime wedges and vibrant mint chutney drizzled over the top. Beside it, the chaat came scattered with diced red onion, pomegranate seeds, and green chutney, bringing a bright crunch to contrast the richer bites.
As more dishes arrived, the table transformed into a generous spread of yellow biryani garnished with red onion, alongside bowls of creamy curry lifted high with spoons and fluffy naan bread ready to mop up every drop of sauce. Every bite hit that satisfying balance of spice and richness without feeling heavy.

Even after a generous spread, we somehow managed to squeeze in dessert, too. Ending our evening with classic Indian sweets like soft gulab jamun and chilled rasmalai provided the perfect, sweet conclusion to a memorable night in Burleigh Heads.
