There are Indian restaurants in Sydney of no little quality, and there is no great recommendation for a curry house than longevity. So when we tell you that Gur Taj Indian Cuisine in Collaroy have been there on Pittwater Road since 1996, you know that they must be doing something right. They’ve built up a cadre of curry connoisseurs in the Northern Beaches who keep coming time and again to try their tandoori-fresh kebabs and breads, spicy pakoras and samosas, seafood specialities and, of course, curries that the whole family can enjoy. We’d go for the house signature and this is a North Indian-orientated restaurant, so their Hyderabadi biryani and their chicken makhni – indeed, they have a specialist chef who deals only with the butter chicken – are the standouts. Get together your mates and set a course for one of the best curry houses in the Northern Beaches at Gur Taj Indian Cuisine – just remember to book ahead, as they will get crowded, especially on weekends and public holidays.
