When you open the door to Tellicherry, you’re hit by a wave of spices, emanating from a postage stamp sized kitchen. As you wind around its edge, squeezing between packed chairs and tables, the oppressive heat of the room is the second thing you notice. I’m all for authenticity, but making me feel like I’m on a packed train travelling through Southern India might be taking things a bit far.While I’m familiar with Ajoy Joshi’s other Indian stalwart, Nilgiri’s, now located in Cremorne, this is my first visit to Tellicherry. “New year, new menu,” our waiter enthuses, as he distributes the succinct list.

We will go back to try their mains next time.
We have visited Tellicherry a few times, both for eat-in and take-away. We enjoy the fact that the menu offers some things that aren't typical of a Sydney Indian Restaurant and have always been happy with the portion sizes and the flavour. Definitely worth a try if you like Indian food!
