About Aafrein Indian Cuisine

Tucked off Tallebudgera Creek Road in Burleigh Heads, Aafrein turns out generous Northern Indian comfort built on deliberate spice work and deep tandoor char. Regulars swear by the slow-cooked Bhuna goat curry, laden with tender meat in a thick, well-balanced gravy. The butter chicken skips the bland, poached poultry routine for charred pieces straight from the tandoor, paired alongside hot, blistered cheese and garlic naan.

  • Chef's Special Bhuna Goat: Slow-cooked tender goat in a rich, deeply spiced gravy served alongside butter naan and saffron rice.
  • Smoky Tandoor Mains & Breads: Tandoori-charred chicken simmered in a spiced sauce, flanked by bubbly cheese and garlic flatbread.
