Teage Ezard’s Gingerboy is no longer. Now in its laneway location: Indian diner Chapati (also in Fairfield) and its newly opened moody cocktail bar upstairs Daaru. “I blended bold Indian flavours into our cocktails [with] subtle twists that are exciting but not overpowering,” says owner Arjun Dewan.

The signature Tandoori Temptress is spiked with tequila, fragrant with curry leaves and a tandoori spice mix, and sweetened with pineapple. Snacks range from masala peanuts to butter chicken croquettes.
