Walking down King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's oldest suburbs, one's senses can become completely overwhelmed. Despite its colourful boutiques and a seemingly endless array of second-hand book stores, it's the tastebuds that really get the work-out with the strip's vast line of culinary delights. I've walked King Street many times and have counted over 140 pubs, restuarants and cafes along it.

These never stay static either. Constantly changing, upgrading, renaming and expanding one can always expect a new gastronomic adventure to greet them when visiting King Street.

Well, I'm determined to end that and achieve the near impossible: to feast from every restaurant/cafe/bar on King Street and live to tell the tale.

Guzzle Tandoori

Guzzle Tandoori
@ 453 King Street, Newtown

Tossing between Indian and seafood, somehow we ended up at Indian. Guzzle is a small Indian on the St Peter's side of things. The wall tables fill up quickly with a reason. They're decorated in a beautiful layer of colours and remain free from the winter's cold of the open doorway.

Having been claimed before our arrival, we ended up in the doorway. No matter, the staff were extremely friendly, attentive and considerate to food issues, happy to recommend meals that were safe for certain intolerances.

There's a Guzzle's Special section as well as your usual meat, vegetarian, beans and rice sections and you'll spend some while deciding which page you want to bank your meal on.



In the end, we tried a special, Haleem - a mix of beef, lentils and spices with a stringy consistency due to an addition of wheat into what tasted like a cheesy coating. Our other meal was the lighter, Daal Makhani, a black lentil stew that was simply, yet delicate to taste and still too much (when combined with rice) to polish off in one seating.
