As we go to print, movements are underway to officially name part of Parramatta’s vibrant neighbourhood Harris Park “little India”. It’s fair call given the growing number of restaurants and food stalls hawking, kulcha, puri, tandoori and jalebi on the suburb’s fairy light covered main street. For a one-stop Indian shop, perennially-busy Chatkazz is arguably the most consistent spot for Mumbai-style roadside specials (don’t miss vada pav bread rolls fat with deep fried potato), biryani, dhal, dosa and naan, and crunchy green chilli pakora fritters ready to swipe through yoghurt and sweet-sour chutneys. Highlights from the sprawling vegetarian-only menu include bhindi do pyaza – caramelised okra, onion and spice – and paneer mutter featuring the comforting cheese simmered with peas in a buttery tomato gravy. Meanwhile, efficient staff ensure your breakfast, lunch or dinner is always brought to your table on time. Also in Bella Vista.
