The most important thing you need to know about Sankranti Australia is that it’s the newest branch of a group of Indian restaurants that actually have restaurants in India. If that doesn’t mean damn fine and authentic food is on the menu then, frankly, we don’t know what does. Sankranti also has a whole load of Indian restaurants in Singapore – pedigree that cannot be ignored, we’re sure you’ll agree. But hey, you’re here to find an Indian meal in Melbourne, and you need look no further than this Footscray restaurant on Barkly Street. The menu is split deliberately down the middle meaning diners can choose between north or south Indian cuisine. The differences are subtle but real, so why not try an aloo fry from the south or a murgh methi from the north? You’re going to have fun experimenting so reserve a table now.
