Akash Pacific Cuisine

The decor betrays its traditional coffee shop beginnings – dark wood panelling, booth seating and purple upholstery. That heritage remains on one side of the laminated picture menu: cut sandwiches, burgers and milkshakes. But most come for Indian favourites displayed on the flip side, like chicken tandoori, vindaloo and korma. Jungly murgi is an aromatic Fijian curry with chicken on the bone. Each dish comes with rice, pappadam, salad and two types of chutney (tamarind is a stand-out) served in a thali – a compartmented steel plate. Vegetarians can choose from buttery dosa, thali or samosa, and the food is Halal.
