Hip bistro pushing bold flavours and clever technique.
The quirkiness of Fremantle meets bold, spice-driven cooking and a palpable sense of fun at this pan-Asian powerhouse. A lively split-level space hums with energy – mismatched chairs, limestone walls dressed with vibrant modern art, and a soundtrack of clinking glasses and soulful beats. It’s buzzy, yes – but in that warm, convivial way that draws people in. The menu, a confident collection of South-Asian flavours, is equally full of personality. Start with the sourdough naan – pillowy, blistered and made for dragging through whipped ghee laced with black cardamom salt. Coal-grilled wagyu beef skewers arrive charred and tender, bested only by the fermented chilli sauce that comes alongside – a tangy revelation. Goan curry with goldband snapper is rich and silky, fragranced with tamarind and coconut, while the cabbage and cauliflower salad drizzled with a mint and coconut dressing delivers bright, zesty freshness. Service is laidback but attentive – staff know the food and seem genuinely excited for the diners. Add a sharp wine list, elaborate cocktails, some left-of-centre beers, and Lions and Tigers roars with confidence and creativity.
