About The Stable Cafe

This Dulwich Hill haunt delivers morning espresso and steak sandwiches by day, then flips into Savaari Modern Indian when dusk settles. Morning tables fill up over crispy hash buns and panko eggs against a low-hum background jazz playlist. Sunlit outdoor seating accommodates pups with fresh water bowls ready on arrival. Come evening, table lamps take over for cauliflower 65, loaded butter chicken chips, and crisp dosas served alongside cold beer on tap.

  • Day-to-night transformation: Transitions at night into Savaari Modern Indian, serving cauliflower 65, biryani, and outside-stuffed dosas alongside wine and beer.
  • Dog-friendly outdoor patio: Spacious outdoor sidewalk tables welcome four-legged companions with provided water bowls.
  • Inner West brunch staple: Mornings center on housemade chilli sauce, runny brekky burgers, panko eggs, and espresso in a sunlit corner.

    The steak sandwich was great. But these were actually the perfect chips. I had to share them around the table because I couldn't get over how crunchy and perfect they were.
