Matt goes underground to discover the best Indian in Sydney. Pinky Ji in the basement of York St is the new kid on the block, serving unauthentic Indian dishes against a kitschy Bollywood backdrop. Where Pinky-Ji is irreverent and rebellious, The Grand Palace under George St gives traditional Indian cuisine a fine-dining spin in a gorgeous subterranean restaurant fit for royalty.
The streets of Sydney’s CBD are home to many fantastic restaurants, including one of Sydney’s best modern Indian restaurants – Pinky Ji. One of the latest offerings, from restaurateur Jessi Singh, Pinky Ji is full of colour and personality, and is best described as sensory overload. Colourful garlands, and cool Bollywood posters, adorn the walls, and the hand-painted Indian enamel tableware is equally colourful and inviting. Mid-week, Pinky Ji offers a delicious and discounted thali, featuring an array of tasty curries and condiments, topped with freshly- cooked naan bread. There’s a private dining room, complete with karaoke machine, for those big occasions, and the Bollywood dancers add extra spice to this most excellent of Indian restaurants!
Just across town, on George St, lies another subterranean restaurant where the food is fit for royalty! The Grand Palace Indian Restaurant is adorned with hand-crafted wooden fittings, imported from Rajhastan, and resembles an authentic palace from the sub-continent. The menu is equally regal, with an array of classic Indian curries, and breads, prepared by a highly experienced team of dedicated chefs. A fine dining experience, in a palatial setting, The Grand Palace offers a delightful, and authentic, Indian experience, in the heart of the city.
