About New Shakthi Takeaway and Restaurant

Homebush heads straight to New Shakthi for massive, budget-friendly hits of fiery Sri Lankan and South Indian street food. The fast-moving counter runs like a well-oiled machine, ladling rich goat curry and sticky, spiced eggplant straight over heaping trays of rice. Regulars grab a paper bag of fresh short eats on the fly—from crisp vadai to deep-fried lamb rolls—or sit down to torn flaky parotta dipped in pepper chicken curry.

  • Bain-Marie Curry Combos: Heaped rice trays ladled directly with rich goat, eggplant, and pepper chicken curries for fast takeaway.
  • Freshly Fried Short Eats: Fresh-from-the-fryer vadai, deep-fried lamb rolls, and vegetable roti hot at the front counter.
  • Generous Portions: Plentiful servings at wallet-friendly prices make it an easy choice for dinner and lunch the next day.

Why Choose New Shakthi Takeaway

Why locals flock to Homebush for authentic Sri Lankan and South Indian curries, street snacks, and abundant takeaway meals.

  • Brimming Curry and Rice Combo Selections

    Customers can quickly select from a diverse counter of pre-cooked South Indian and Sri Lankan curries over rice for an affordable, hearty meal.

    They have a lot of varieties to choose from, which is what I like.

  • Super-Sized Portions for Unbeatable Value

    Bain-marie curry packs are generously scooped, providing ample portions that easily feed multiple meals at budget-friendly rates.

    The quantity is very generous, it made two people’s lunch.

  • Nostalgic Flavours of Homeland Street Food

    Heavily spiced preparations and uncompromised heat recreate the nostalgic taste and atmosphere of subcontinental street-side dining.

    reminded me of the food I grew up eating.

  • Party-Ready Packs of Hot Short Eats

    Crispy Sri Lankan short eats like freshly fried mutton and lamb rolls make effortless crowd-pleasers to grab by the bagful for group events.

    Definitely a party favourite at our place, especially when they're fresh from the fryer.

  • Rice and Curry

    I ordered 5 veg rice & curry and it was only $12.5! The quantity is very generous, it made two people’s lunch.

  • Dosa

    Do try the freshly made dosa and the chicken and lamb rolls—they are cheap and taste amazing.

  • Lamb Rolls

    But the killer snack that you must try here is the lamb rolls. They are the business. Seriously.

  • Biryani

    If you are very hungry just order the biryani and you should be good, its so filling and is served with an egg, goat curry and piece of chicken leg and curd salad.

  • Vadai

    Their vadai (savoury, donut-shaped, at the front window) is so deliciously soft and fluffy inside, lightly crispy on the outside.

    And don’t forget to have the refreshing masala chai.

Before you head over

Practical pointers on ordering, seating, and takeaway pacing

  • Opt for Takeaway Over Dining In

    Seating is extremely limited with only a single indoor room and outdoor tables, while ordering operates as an informal walk-up system without printed tickets or order names. Planning on takeout ensures a smoother experience.

  • Specify Curry Separation at the Counter

    Standard combo packs are ladled directly onto rice in a single container. If you prefer to keep individual gravies from blending together, request separate containers or clarify your portioning during service.

  • Expect Weekend Lines

    Lines often build up out the door, particularly over weekends. Arriving during off-peak hours helps bypass lengthy waits for hot short eats and bain-marie rice packs.
