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.

Kammadhenu

@ 171 King Street, Newtown

The best, number one, recommended and all those other fun little accolades. Kammadhenu is the formative name on King Street for Indian and Malaysian fare. They've got the best hoppas and dosas in Sydney and their roti, though unlike Mamak you can't see them make it, tastes just as divine.

Platters are huge and quick to come out. Our party reached four and there was not a grumble on the table as everyone was served within maybe, five minutes? Not too bad methinks. Sauces are plentiful and arrayed in strategically created platters, each separated onto a metal dish and ready for the dipping. The taste is rich and the price, yeah. They're good. At a maximum of $12 for a dosai and less than $20 for a heartier dish, it seems extremely unfair to rave about Kammadhenu any more than it always has been.
