Punjabi & North Indian Food in Cairns

Rich, buttery gravies, smoky tandoori and fresh-pulled naan — the hearty Punjabi and North Indian cooking Indian Brothers is loved for, right here in Cairns.

Lamb rogan josh — Punjabi North Indian food in Cairns
The heart of North India

Comfort food from the land of five rivers.

If you're looking for Punjabi food in Cairns, you're looking for the soul of North Indian cooking — deep, slow-cooked gravies, charcoal-kissed tandoori, and breads pulled fresh from a roaring tandoor. At Indian Brothers, these North Indian classics are cooked fresh and served generously — the dishes we're proudest to bring to Far North Queensland.

Everything starts with our masala, roasted and ground fresh, and our tandoor kept hot all day for naan, roti and tandoori meats. It's honest, generous, home-style North Indian food in Cairns — the kind meant to be shared.

Punjabi favourites

Dishes worth crossing town for.

Butter Chicken — tandoori chicken simmered in a silky tomato-and-cream gravy; the dish that made Punjabi cooking famous. Lamb Rogan Josh — tender lamb in a deep, aromatic Kashmiri-spiced sauce. Dal Makhani — black lentils cooked low and slow with butter until rich and velvety. Chana Masala and Palak Paneer for the vegetarians, and a whole Lamb Shank Masala when you're really hungry.

Straight from the tandoor

Naan, roti & tandoori, made to order.

No Punjabi meal is complete without bread. Our butter naan, garlic naan and tandoori roti are slapped onto the walls of a blazing tandoor and served hot, ready to mop up every last bit of gravy. The same oven gives our tandoori chicken and seekh kebab that unmistakable smoky char.

Come hungry — order a couple of curries, a stack of naan and some rice, and share it the way it's meant to be eaten.
