In the heart of Sydney, nestled on York Street, lies Pinki Ji—a culinary spectacle that embodies the bold and audacious spirit of chef and restaurateur Jessi Singh. With a knack for defying convention, Singh has cultivated a brand renowned for its distinctive take on Indian cuisine, steering clear of traditional norms to craft an unapologetically vibrant dining experience.
Pinki Ji isn't just another addition to Sydney's bustling food scene; it's a testament to Singh's ingenuity in reimagining flavors, redefining authenticity, and inviting guests on an exhilarating journey through unconventional tastes and atmospheres.
Unlike its predecessors, Pinki Ji stands as the playful younger sibling, boasting an ambiance that echoes the vivacity of Bollywood itself. The restaurant exudes an infectious energy, radiating from its neon-lit interiors adorned with captivating Bollywood artwork. The space is a riot of colors, with floral garlands cascading from the ceiling, creating an immersive environment that transports diners into a world of culinary delight and visual splendor.
But it's not merely the ambiance that steals the show. Singh strategically enlisted the expertise of former Chin Chin head chef Johann Jay to curate a menu that epitomizes culinary innovation. The offerings at Pinki Ji are a testament to Jay's culinary prowess, blending traditional Indian flavors with a contemporary twist, resulting in a symphony of taste and texture.
Divided into various sections, the menu at Pinki Ji tantalizes taste buds with a plethora of options. From Mumbai corn infused with chili lime yogurt to an 'unauthentic' butter chicken that defies convention, each dish is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to pushing boundaries. Notable highlights include the indulgent crab fried rice adorned with chili oil and a fried egg, and the aromatic vegan yellow dhal, catering to diverse palates and preferences.
Moreover, the restaurant's flair extends beyond the culinary realm. Pinki Ji features a self-serve craft beer fridge and a private dining room complete with a karaoke machine, setting the stage for lively gatherings and celebratory feasts.
Amidst the gastronomic adventure, Pinki Ji offers a refreshing respite from Sydney's usual price tags, with a set menu priced at $65 per person—an unexpected steal in a city known for its elevated dining costs.
