Question 1

What type of food does Bazaar & Bar serve?

Accepted Answer

Bazaar & Bar serves regional Indian cuisine — dishes rooted in the recipes and techniques of India's diverse culinary regions rather than the standard takeaway menu. You won't find butter chicken here. Instead, expect dishes like Champaran Mutton (slow-cooked goat on the bone from Bihar), Prawn Gassi (a coastal Karnataka curry with coconut, red chilli and tamarind), Kali Mirch Spatchcock (chargrilled over charcoal, finished with fenugreek butter), and Clam Cutlets with Schezwan chutney. The menu changes regularly to reflect seasons and the chef's inspiration.

Question 2

Where is Bazaar & Bar located?

Accepted Answer

Bazaar & Bar is located at 10 Orchard Road, Brookvale NSW 2100, in the light industrial heart of Brookvale on Sydney's Northern Beaches. It sits among Brookvale's growing restaurant and bar precinct, near 4 Pines Park. Street parking is available on Orchard Road and surrounding streets.

Question 4

Does Bazaar & Bar have vegetarian or vegan options?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The menu always features multiple vegetarian dishes — the mushroom pepper fry and aloo chokha (tempered baby potatoes in mustard oil) are standouts. Vegan options are available and the team is happy to guide you through the menu. Please let your server know your dietary requirements when you arrive or mention them when you book.

Question 5

Is Bazaar & Bar a wine bar?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Bazaar & Bar is genuinely a wine bar first. The drinks list features 40+ wines, predominantly Australian small-batch producers with some international selections from Austria, France and Italy. The wines are specifically chosen to work with Indian spice — lighter, aromatic styles that cleanse the palate rather than overwhelm it. There is also a full cocktail list with Indian-inspired creations (Garam Masala Negroni, Curry Leaf Gimlet, Smoked Jaggery Old Fashioned), boutique Indian spirits, and a small selection of beers.
