Two Fat Indians
Get the banquet for a feast of classic curries or try some of the more experimental creations on the a la carte menu.
Overview
Two Fat Indians in Berwick takes its name from the two brothers who founded it, Kush and Michael, and is a cheeky homage to their insatiable appetites.
Having grown up in the kitchen with their father, chef Ajit Singh, teaching them, the two brothers learnt not just how to cook, but how to love cooking. Since 2006 they've been serving up a delicious array of traditional Indian food in an environment where the diner is encouraged to sit back, relax and go with the flow.
With a casual yet elegant dining room, the atmosphere is the perfect place to eat, drink and be happy. The menu offers up a traditional banquet for groups, featuring classics such as butter chicken, lamb rogan josh and butter naan, with tea, coffee or port to accompany.
Then the a la carte menu gets more experimental. Get around dishes such as sour lime chicken with mango chutney, or goat curry served on the bone. For vegetarians there is a butter kofta, a mixed vegetable korma and a chickpea curry in an onion based sauce.
The desserts are laid back and fun, like the venue itself, with our pick being the drunken dumpling drowned in Kahlua.
The drinks menu is as extensive as the food, which shows the vibe it's trying to create. The reds range from Pepperjack shiraz by the glass, to Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz by the bottle. There are whites from all over Australia, with the Henschke chardonnay standing out.
All up, Two Fat Indians is exactly what the name suggests — a fun, laidback, cheeky restaurant run by chefs who are deadly serious about their food. And their wine, too.
