The Twisted Indian

Best Known For

Monk on Fire: succulent pieces of chicken thigh fillets, marinated in spices and served with a flambeé of legendary Old Monk rum.

Traditional meets modern at The Twisted Indian on Norton Street in Leichhardt. This one of a kind restaurant is uniquely twisted and uniquely Indian, offering diners a wide variety of flavours from curries to cocktails, in rustic surrounds of exposed brick, recycled timber and brightly coloured chairs. Because normal is boring, expect a little twist on every dish starting your adventure with slow-cooked seekh lamb kebabs, served with a choice of chutney and papadums.; or tandoori fish tikka and lotus root chips. For the main, think offerings like Gymkhana goat curry, with saffron rice and blue cheese naan, while traditionalists opt for everyone’s favourite butter chicken; perhaps hot and spicy beef in Twisted’s vindaloo gravy entices, washed down with a quirky Pink Flamingo cocktail.
