About Foreign Return

Be prepared to challenge your preconceived notions of traditional Indian cuisine at Foreign Return on Crown Street in Surry Hills. Redefining Indian food for modern times with a boldness that is balanced with a touch of playfulness, this Sydney dining destination projects a moody vibe with subdued lighting, intimate table settings and leadlight windows to set the scene for memorable meals with someone special. Make sure to order from the Lost Recipes – deliciously uncommon recipes from Indian towns and villages, packed with a heady mix of spice, flavour and memories. Think dishes like vari kokaru curry, a tribal recipe from East India made with lamb shank, housemade masala and fresh coriander; or soya spatchcock chicken with sides of steamed basmati rice, cheese and garlic naan.
