About Cooks Castle

Tucked toward the quiet parkside end of High Street, this unassuming curry house dials in rich Indian classics exactly to your heat tolerance. Regulars lean on the butter chicken bumped up to a balanced medium spice, or the herbaceous palak lamb kasoori with fork-tender meat and blistered garlic naan. Out front, gas heaters take the bite out of cooler evenings over sizzling tandoori lamb cutlets paired with fresh mint chutney.

  • Customized Spice Profiles: Kitchen willingly dials heat levels up or down on curries like butter chicken without muting regional spices.
  • Convenient Parkside Takeaway: Patrons pick up herbaceous palak lamb kasoori and fresh curries just minutes from Westfield.
  • Quiet Al Fresco Dining: Heated outdoor seating offers a low-key setting for tandoori cutlets and slow-cooked curries.

    Situated at the end of High Street right by Westfield and the park, the venue offers easy takeaway access after shopping.

  • Heated Outdoor Parkside Dining

    Dine-in guests can sit comfortably outdoors equipped with gas heaters away from heavy foot traffic on High Street.

    We sat outside, it was a mild winters night but they have gas heaters to keep you warm anyway. It’s at the quiet end of high st in Penrith so not heaps of people walking past which was nice.

  • Tandoori Lamb Cutlets

    Chicken was very nice but the lamb was on another level, I could eat it every time I go here and probably will.

  • Palak Lamb Kasoori

    Highly recommend the palak lamb kasoori!! It was so savory, herbaceous and the lamb was extremely tender.

Before you head over

Helpful advice on spice customization, direct pickup perks, and table arrangements

  • Customize your curry spice level

    Request your ideal heat level when ordering curries, as the kitchen customizes spice upon request from mild up to hot and spicy.

  • Order direct for pickup savings

    Opt to collect your order directly from the restaurant rather than using third-party apps to receive a 15% discount and ensure food stays hot.

  • Choose outside seating for larger groups

    Indoor seating accommodates groups of 4 or fewer, so plan to sit outside under the gas heaters or book ahead if dining with a larger party.
