Set slightly away from the crowded Broadbeach hub, this unassuming spot dishes out deeply spiced North Indian curries and tender tandoori meats. Grab a table in the colorful, poster-lined room—it feels more like dining in a family home than a coastal strip diner. Regulars gravitate straight to the Burra kebabs, savoring charred lamb cutlets blistered in the tandoor, or the chef’s signature Nawabi lamb simmering in creamy gravy. Pick up your own beer from the bottle shop around the corner, tear off a wedge of garlic naan, and mop up every drop.
- Signature Nawabi Lamb: Chef-special lamb braised until falling off the fork in a rich, creamy sauce.
- Burra Kebabs: Tandoor-charred lamb cutlets seasoned with deep spice and smoke.
- BYO-Friendly Dining: Guests can bring their own drinks, with a bottle shop just a short walk away.
- Relaxed Off-Strip Room: A colorful, family-run space set just outside the noisy Broadbeach center where conversation comes easy.
