About Kesari Infused Indian Cuisine-Hope Island

Pinnaroo Street holds a quiet waterfront secret—vibrant, aromatic curries cooked fresh beside the calm Hope Island creek. Owners Sunny and his wife look after the floor themselves, greeting families and regulars with easy warmth. Regulars make the drive for tender mango chicken, cheesy garlic naan pulled straight from the tandoor, and spiced lamb korma. Come morning, the kitchen flips to poached eggs and smashed avo on toasted sourdough. By twilight, order a mango lassi spiked with gin or settle in with a steaming, house-spiced masala chai.

  • Gourmet Indian Fare: Pairs tender mango chicken and rich curries with tandoor-baked garlic naan and infused spiced cocktails.
  • Waterfront Setting: A quiet dining room looking out over the creek waters in a relaxed Hope Island pocket.
  • Family-Run Hospitality: Run by Sunny and his wife, offering attentive table service that easily accommodates kids.
  • Day-to-Night Menu: Western cafe breakfast plates by morning giving way to infused Indian cuisine at night.
