Nilgiri's

Best Known For

Khandeshi Goat: slow-cooked yearling goat in coconut sauce with chillies, cassia, pepper, sesame seeds and tomatoes.

For more than two decades, Nilgiri’s on Military Road in Cremorne has been dishing up a taste of regional Indian fare to the lower North Shore of Sydney. An open kitchen offers glimpses of hard-working Chefs in action, while a spacious dining area with pops of bright colour is the place to peruse a menu of familiar flavours married with plenty of creative twists, along with being entirely certified halal. Kick things off with classic chicken tikka cooked in the tandoor, or cauliflower samosas with tamarind and kokum chutney; for the main, delve into Nilgiri’s version of butter chicken with steamed rice, papadums and mango chutney. Perhaps Kolhapuri lamb tempts, slow-cooked with yoghurt, masala, sesame and poppy seeds; vegetarians opt for eggplant in tamarind, coconut and sesame sauce.
