Tucked off the Surfers Paradise strip, Sankalp delivers genuine regional spice with serious range. Regulars lean into the South Indian tiffin—crackling paper-thin dosas torn across coconut chutney, bite-sized button idlis soaking in warm sambar, and crisp vada. Groups crowd tables with street-side panipuri, paneer curries, and Indo-Chinese plates, scooping gravy with blistered garlic naan that stays light instead of dense. Service moves at an easy clip through the relaxed room, wrapping up cleanly over chilled mango pudding.
- South Indian Signatures: Paper-thin dosas, vada, and button idlis steeped in house sambar anchor the regional menu.
- Street-Level Starters: Crisp panipuri and street-style snacks make effortless starters for passing around the table.
- Cross-Regional Variety: Spans rich paneer curries, tender chicken specialties, and wok-tossed Indo-Chinese plates.
- Relaxed Surfers Haven: A welcoming, calm space off the main Hanlan Street bustle, well suited for families.
