One of the best Indian restaurants in Sydney is Billu’s. Every time we go I am sooooo full and wish I hadn’t eaten so much but it’s all just so good. It’s one of my parents favourite restaurants and it is always packed with other Indian’s which is a good sign of a good Indian restaurant. They play Bollywood movies on a flat screen TV which adds to the experience. Even though it is in Harris Park it is worth the trip. They have recently opened a new restauranton Church St, Parramatta and have another restaurant in Epping.
We started today’s late lunch with Papri Chaat ($6.50). It is covered in tamarind, yoghurt, onion, chickpeas, coriander, green chilli’s and sev. It is a great way to start an Indian feast.
Next is Dahi puri ($6). Which is similar to papri chaat except it is all in a tiny bite sized puri, which you pop in your mouth for a flavour explosion.
I usually get a Paneer Dosa every time I come here but they are pretty big and I’m not that hungry so we decide to have a paneer sizzler ($14.50) instead. Boy oh boy this is my absolute favourite. It is cottage cheese marinated in yoghurt and spices finished with onion, capsicum and a special sauce served on a sizzling platter. Heaven!
The tawa chicken ($18.90) that mum orders is a hit. Actually this was the reason for going to Billu’s today. Brett and I went to the good food and wine afficionado which was really lame and stopped in at my parents. Normally mum has a stash of tandoori chicken in the freezer but since she didn’t have any she suggested we go to Billu’s. So anyway the tawa chicken, similar to chicken tikka masala but with a sweet and spicy marinade is now up there with my other favourites.
Other dishes we ordered to complement our favourites were chicken biryani ($13.90) and garlic naans ($3 each).
This cross section photo of the paneer makes me wish there was a Billu’s in the city.

Wow! The tawa chicken and paneer sizzler look amazing! The whole lot looks awesome but these are the top of my list when I visit Bilus!
