Bringing the theatre of Indian cuisine to Harris Park, Nautanki Restaurant on Station Street entertains the tastebuds with enthralling flavours. Named after a popular form of folk theatre, this new kid on the Indian block is housed in a Federation-style building with sunny alfresco deck dining and a spacious interior, where whitewashed French doors let in natural light and spicy colours create a warm, rich ambiance. Begin a dining performance with palak patta chat, a delicious combination of crispy fried spinach leaves, chickpeas and diced potato with mint-yoghurt dressing, and date and tamarind chutney, before chicken lababdar curry, with butter and cream gravy and basmati rice. Those who like it hot, may be enticed by Hawaii chicken with fiery yoghurt marinade, cooked in a tandoor oven.
