Tonka

  • Restaurant
  • Fine dining

Tonka - sister restaurant to nearby Coda - is a modern Indian restaurant in the central city with an extensive wine list and cocktails focusing on the spices of India.

You'll find dishes that mix traditional Indian flavours with ingredients commonly found in Australia and beyond, such as the duck korma or the vindaloo steak tartare.

For a more relaxed affair, stop into the Thali Bar and try a lamb or chicken thali (a segmented plate of breads, meats and sauces popular in southern India) for lunch during the week.

Cocktails include the chai rum punch - aged rum, falernum (a sweet syrup popular in Caribbean cocktails) and chai. For those who like it strong, there is the Goan old fashioned - rye whiskey, black cardamom and marjoram.
