Permanently Closed: Low-key Margaret River eatery that punches above its weight.
If there ever was a time this curry joint at the side of a skate park flew under the radar, that era has passed. Now an essential stop for anyone heading to Margaret River, it’s a place you’ll hear tipped by locals alongside the fine dining stalwarts of the region. On any given night, you’ll find a crowd waiting for takeaway, having impromptu catch ups, and plenty of punters grabbing a spot on the outdoor tables and benches. Some bring a rug to spread over the grass.
Chef-owner Corey Rozario has taken his Burmese heritage, the dishes that he knows, and imbued them with a sense of place – on occasion using kangaroo tail. While the chalkboard changes daily, there are the crowd-pleasing favourites. A hands-on paratha, stuffed with bamboo slaw and balachaung, with a fried egg or dhufish. Of course, the eponymous dahl is a hit, but there’s also a rotation of curries like ohn no khao swe and textural lahpet thoke salad (notable for its fermented tea leaves) served with optional rice and fish.
