Kulcha'd

KULCHA'D HAS CLOSED IN 2022 AND IS SET TO BE REPLACED BY CALIFORNIA TACOS IN EARLY 2023.

Kulcha'd in West End specialises in delectable North Indian street food that's like nothing else to be found in Brisbane, with a menu that is based on kulcha - a traditional crispy bread stuffed with delicious fillings and baked in a hot oven.

As well as kulcha, to start there's a small range of heavenly street treats including must try Masala Fries (with tomatoes, herbs and spices, coriander and mayo with the option of chicken or bacon; Curry-loaded Fries (with tomato & chickpea gravy, herbs spices, coriander & vegan mayo), Kathi Roll (house-made India wrap stuffed with spices, Szechuan mayo, veges and choice of filling) or Chicken Mushu Paneer.

No visit here should be made without indulging in the signature dish though - Kulcha, which comes with a choice of 3 fillings: traditional (tandoor-baked potato, onion & traditional spices), Cauliflower (50/50 potato & cauliflower with traditional spices) and Mushy Paneer (mushroom and paneer melted in crispy hot kulcha bread). Whilst you can order these on their own, it's best to get a combo which includes the traditional accompaniments: a small bowl of chickpea curry and minty onion dip.

In addition there's traditional sweets: Jalebi (deep-fried, soaked and served with seasonal fruit, nuts and house-made ice-cream) or Kulfi (house-made ice-cream with pistachios, saffron & cardayum) as well as mango lassi, tea, coffee or cold chai.

Nice to know - Kulcha'd is also open for breakfast with two signature traditional offerings - Breakfast Kulcha (with special chickpea mint gravy) or Bread Omelette (spicy eggs, coriander, tomatoes, and grilled onion on sourdough) with well-brewed coffee to accompany.

Need to know - Kulcha'd is open for in-house dining (indoors or on the pavement) as well as takeaway. Bookings highly recommended.
