Kokum by Chef Mural is a collaboration between Michelin-starred chef Manjunath Mural and Saffron restaurant owner Sridhar Penumechu. Chef Mural’s culinary cachet is truly the hero at Kokum, delivering a refined menu that carefully and respectfully blends traditional Indian flavours and methods with modern Australian elements and localised ingredients. The 120-seat restaurant and bar is located on waterfront precinct bound by luxury hotel Palazzo Versace, overlooking Marina Mirage and the Broadwater. Chef Mural’s awarded Asian influence triggers further intrigue, seen in dishes like the grilled chilli paneer with Singapore noodles, the rendang lamb mince and the sambal barramundi with turmeric yoghurt. You’ll still find go-to favourites like flaky naan bread (definitely add Emmental cheese fondue on the side), beef samosas and a small selection of curries on offer, as well as intricately plated sweets like a saffron cheesecake log with pistachio crumb, and garam pudding with beetroot and dried figs.
