Restaurant in Bondi Beach
A bright, neon-lit "Neo-Indian" restaurant on Hall Street reinventing classic Indian dishes as bold, shareable plates.
This is the Bondi outpost of the popular Surry Hills original, and it brings genuinely inventive cooking rather than another curry house — think chicken curry bombs, koliwada prawns and a strawberry chicken curry the kitchen claims you won't find anywhere else. The room leans hard into a playful cyberpunk-meets-jewel-tone aesthetic (hot pink banquettes, neon signs, gold accents), which makes it a natural fit for a lively group dinner. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are clearly marked throughout, so mixed-diet tables are easy here.
The signature sharing plates are the draw — chicken curry bombs (a filled panipuri riff, also vegetarian and vegan), the koliwada-battered prawns, and one of the standout mains like the strawberry chicken curry, burnt onion chicken kari or lamb bunny chow served in a hollowed loaf.
Bright, buzzing and colourful — neon, jewel tones and high energy, with indoor seating and a covered outdoor terrace.
Local tip: The undercover outdoor terrace is dog-friendly, so it's a rare Bondi dinner option if you've got the dog with you after a beach walk. Book ahead for weekend dinners — the room fills and it leans loud.
Worth knowing: It's firmly in the "lively and loud" camp with an energetic fit-out, so it's the wrong pick for a quiet, intimate meal — and there are no ocean views despite the Bondi Beach address.
