At Indian Appetite, we’ve captured the vibrant energy of India’s street food culture and brought it to Ferny Hills. Imagine the sizzle of spices, the aroma of freshly fried snacks, and the warmth of communal dining – all crafted to transport you to the heart of Mumbai or Delhi. From crispy starters to hearty mains, our menu celebrates the bold, authentic flavours that define India’s street food legacy.

Here’s how we recreate five iconic dishes that locals can’t get enough of:

1. Onion Bhajji: Crispy Golden Perfection

Born in India’s coastal regions, onion bhajji is the ultimate rainy-day snack. At Indian Appetite, we slice Queensland-grown onions paper-thin and coat them in a gluten-free chickpea batter spiced with turmeric, cumin, and fresh coriander. Fried to a delicate crisp, each bhajji retains a tender bite inside. Served with tangy mint chutney, it’s a crowd-pleaser that pairs perfectly with a chilled mango lassi or your favourite beverage. Locals love it for its gluten-free and vegan-friendly profile, making it a guilt-free in indulgence for gatherings or solo cravings.

2. Vegetable Pakora: A Crunchy Veggie Fiesta

In India, pakora stalls are as beloved as the snacks themselves. Our version uses seasonal Queensland veggies- zucchini, cauliflower, and sweet potato- dipped in a light, spiced gram flour batter. The result is a rainbow of crispy bites, lightly spiced and served with tamarind and mint chutneys. Ferny Hills residents often grab these for a quick rainy-day treat or as a shareable appetizer that’s both kid-friendly and satisfying for adults.

3. Samosas: Flaky, Spiced, and Irresistible

Samosas have traveled through centuries and continents to become India’s most iconic street snack. Our version stays true to tradition, with a flaky, buttery crust stuffed with spiced potatoes, peas, and aromatic herbs. Made fresh daily, these triangular delights are perfect for on-the-go lunches or as a starter for family dinners. Dip them in mint-coriander chutney for an extra burst of flavor, and you’ll understand why they’re a staple at Ferny Hills’ multicultural events.

4. Chicken Tandoori: Smoky, Succulent, and Spiced

Tandoori chicken is a street food legend, and we honour its roots with free-range Queensland chicken marinated for 24 hours in yoghurt, ginger, garlic, and Kashmiri chili. Roasted in our custom-built clay oven, it emerges juicy inside with a charred, crispy exterior. High in protein and low in fat, this dish is a favourite among health-conscious diners and flavour seekers alike. Pair it with garlic naan for a meal that’s both wholesome and indulgent.

5. Chana Masala: Hearty, Wholesome Comfort

This vegan-friendly chickpea curry is slow-cooked in a tomato-onion gravy with toasted cumin, amchur (dried mango powder), and fresh cilantro. A staple on Mumbai’s streets, our version is richer and perfect for pairing with fluffy naan or steamed rice. Locals rave about its affordability and nutrition, often grabbing takeaway batches for quick weeknight dinners. A dash of Queensland honey balances the tang, creating a dish that’s as comforting as it is flavourful.
