The Great Indian Brunch

Overview

Sydney is no stranger to a bottomless brunch, but often they're filled with the same-old finger food and mimosas. Surry Hills Indian restaurant Foreign Return is mixing things up with its weekly feasts, offering a massive six-course set menu filled with Indian flavours and free-flowing drinks every Saturday and Sunday.

Available midday–2pm each weekend, there are two ways you can attack this menu. If you're just here for the eats, the $79 package will have you snacking your way through pomelo salad, crispy fried prawns, goat mince sliders, zaatar chicken tikka, bruschetta topped with Parsi-style scrambled eggs and Madras lamb with salad and rice. Included in this menu is also a cocktail on arrival, with guests choosing between a Kaapi espresso martini, a bloody mary or a Bombay spritz.

Those that want to add bottomless drinks to the experience can do so for an extra $20, bringing the total cost up to $99. The added drinks package is centred around a selection of Grey Goose spiked tea spritzes. Take your pick from the white tea and jasmine, strawberry and ginger, or watermelon and earl grey spritzes — or mix and match throughout your brunch.

There's also a vegetarian version of the set menu that swaps out the prawns and chicken for the likes of Malai broccoli, potato with paneer burgers and seasonal vegetable ragout for the bruschetta.

Head to Foreign Return's website to make a booking for the one-of-a-kind bottomless brunch.
