| Inside this neat and clean Indian cafe, the spice-rich aromas from chef/owner Ashok Choudry's delicious and astonishingly cheap curries perfume the air. Claiming to be the first Hatti in Australia, the dishes here reflect a country style typical of Choudry's native North India (using water as a base rather than oil and cream) that results in his curries being less heavy than those found on the rest of the subcontinent. The sparse Indian decor plays home to scores of locals, students and those in the know every night of the week. They combine with the super fast, attentive service to create a very busy, lively and somewhat noisy atmosphere amplified by the hard stone-coloured floors, laminex tables and walls adorned with Indian paintings. If you are looking for a romantic dinner for two - Kake Di Hatti is not the place.
Try the summer-perfect, hot/sour flavours of the Goa Prawns or the more-ish Country Captain - a royal dish of northern India featuring lamb, potato and capsicum steeped in warmly spiced gravy. Although only a very basic wine list (five options) is on offer, it doesn't really matter when the bar is very well stocked with ice-cold $5 Kingfisher beer, perhaps the perfect accompaniment to the delectable curries. |
