Brunswick diners say Namaste to authentic Indian and Nepalese fare at Old Durbar Restaurant & Lounge on Sydney Road. This stylish venue blends blond wood tables with red leather cushions on the floor, or relax at intimate settings for two; while the walls are covered with murals depicting homeland life and the sound of live music entertains guests. Kickstart your evening with deep-fried chicken lollipops, marinated with Nepalese herbs and spices, served with housemade tomato sauce; before mains such as everyone’s favourite butter chicken in creamy tomato gravy, enjoyed with basmati rice, papadums and tandoori roti. Perhaps a Nepalese-style fish curry tempts, with coconut and spices, or tandoor-oven cooked prawns, tossed in a creamy gravy with aromatic Indian spices and butter.
