About Mehmaan Indian Cuisine

Hornsby locals dodge the crosstown trek to Harris Park for this comfortable sit-down spot, where the kitchen turns out street-style chaat alongside smoky Konkan tandoori prawns. The menu moves easily from crisp dosas to rich goat biryani and comforting butter chicken scooped up with blistered garlic naan. Sauces are calibrated individually to order across mild, medium, or hot heat levels, making multi-generational family dinners straightforward. Settle into the spacious dining room with house cocktails or take advantage of corkage-friendly BYO.

  • Custom Spice Levels: The kitchen tailors individual curries to mild, medium, or fiery heat preferences for multi-generational groups.
  • Licensed Bar & BYO: Pairs an in-house cocktail, beer, and wine list with a casual corkage policy for outside bottles.
  • Pan-Indian Regional Range: Spans regional styles from crisp South Indian dosas and crunchy chaat to slow-cooked goat biryani and tandoori grills.

  • Pan-Indian Menu Breadth

    The kitchen spans traditional North Indian gravies alongside street food chaat, Indo-Chinese plates, and South Indian dosas to satisfy broad culinary tastes in one sitting.

    The food is excellent and not your average Indian meal . We have chosen both vegetarian & meat dishes as well as seafood & Indian street food which was delicious and cooked extremely well.

Before you head over

Practical planning tips on heat levels, drinks, and portion sizing for your visit

  • Calibrate Spice Levels Explicitly

    When ordering curries or biryani for kids or sensitive palates, specify mild; reviewers note that even medium spice levels can carry significant heat.

  • Take Advantage of BYO Options

    You can choose between ordering from their in-house cocktail, beer, and wine list or bringing your own wine with corkage charged at $3 per person.

  • Plan for Generous Portion Sizes

    Main curry and biryani portions are substantial; staff readily provide takeaway boxes so you can pack up leftovers rather than over-ordering.
