About Dhamaal Restaurant

Chermside locals turn to Dhamaal for genuine Indian street food and an uncompromising, 200-item pure vegetarian menu. The kitchen builds regional variety across crisp dosas, buttered cheese pav bhaji, and Bombay-style vada pav, alongside dedicated Jain and no-onion, no-garlic options. Regulars often lean on the kitchen's willingness to whip up unlisted regional specialties on request, from Surti-style gotalo to Mumbai street snacks. Meals wind down over shaved ice gola drizzled with vibrant syrups or fresh betel-leaf paan.

  • Strict Pure Vegetarian Spread: A massive menu features over 200 dishes with dedicated Jain and no-onion, no-garlic preparations.
  • Custom Regional Orders: Chefs routinely accommodate off-menu requests for regional specialties like Surti gotalo or sev usal.
  • Street-Side Paan and Ice Gola: Street cart favorites rarely seen around Brisbane include fresh Indian paan and shaved ice gola.
