Say it with Lentil

Best Known For

Lamb and lentil Indian curry with aromatic spices, couscous, vegetables, cucumber, radish and raita salad.

Nestled on Australia Street opposite the Newtown Court House, Say It With Lentil is a warm, unassuming nook in the city’s hum. Its signage is modest, its presence understated - a clean facade with just enough colour to hint at what lies within. Step inside and the air shifts: mellow lighting, earth-toned walls and long communal tables encourage conversation over solitude. Plates emerge thick with legumes, pulses mingling with crisp greens, grains and spices – hearty and nourishing. Here, food feels like home: generous, honest, quietly bold and the aroma of cumin, turmeric and coconut lingers in the air. Perhaps begin with sweet and sour lentil jaffles and kasundi, before mains like berbere chicken with carrots, chickpeas, orange coriander salsa, herbed rice and rainbow slaw.
