Book NowAbout Tandoori Hut Newtown
Family-run and unapologetically unpretentious, this Enmore Road fixture dishes out deeply spiced Pakistani home cooking late into the night. It is an enduring retreat for night-shift crews and hungry gig-goers—anchored by framed cricket memorabilia and the hum of the tandoor. Regulars bypass standard takeaways for slow-simmered desi classics: rich lamb shank nihari, hearty haleem, and goat feet curry that falls off the bone into savoury gravy. Bring your own bottles, order a basket of blistered garlic naan, and tear through charred lamb chops fresh off the coals.
- Pakistani slow-cooked specialties: Simmered slowly for hours, the rich lamb shank nihari and traditional paaya offer deep, bone-in spices.
- Late-night dining: The kitchen stays open late on Enmore Road, serving hot, protein-packed curries well past standard dinner hours.
- BYO and low-key feasting: A casual dining room welcoming outside drinks alongside wallet-friendly, generous group feeds.
