About Sankalp Indian Restaurant Surfers Paradise Gold Coast

Tuck into crisp dosas and rich regional curries just steps from the Surfers Paradise surf. Regulars head straight for the South Indian tiffin lineup, breaking off golden edges of Mumbai-style pav bhaji dosa or dipping button idlis into aromatic sambar. The kitchen covers serious ground across North Indian plates and Indo-Chinese stir-fries—from kadai chicken to thin, blistered garlic naan straight from the tandoor. Groups spread out easily across the dining room, while the staff keeps tables running smoothly with warm bowls of dal and comforting lassi.

  • South Indian Tiffin Staples: Crisp dosas, button idlis, and Mumbai-style pav bhaji dosa served with house sambar.
  • Cross-Regional Breadth: Extensive lineup spanning North Indian curries alongside Indo-Chinese noodles and rice dishes.
  • Group-Ready Hospitality: Spacious seating and attentive service that comfortably accommodate multi-generational family dinners.
