Black Peppers

Head down to Yorke Street and you'll find Black Peppers doing what a good neighbourhood Indian should—feeding people who know what they're after without any pretence. The menu's straightforward, the kitchen's confident with their heat levels, and you can tell they're not just reheating something that came in frozen. It's the kind of place locals return to because the curries taste like they're made for eating, not impressing, and the pricing won't leave you gutted. The room itself feels unpretentious and genuinely welcoming, exactly what you want when you're after proper spiced food on a weeknight.
