Quick Fixe Pre-Theatre Express Dinner Set — Saadi

Quick Fixe is all in the name. A quick meal, a couple of satisfying courses, and a set price. Perfect for when you’ve got somewhere to be like the theatre, a show or a movie.

Our current Quick Fixe menu begins with lia badi, a puffed rice cracker topped with date chutney, a crispy carrot machurian, and school prawns sprinkled with dehydrated lasun chutney. Kohlapuri chicken follows, alongside spring vegetables with a lentil and sesame crumb, and fermented chilli flatbread bathed in garlic butter.

For those with dietaries, we’ll take care of you. Just leave us a note when you book.

Please note that from October 1, our Quick Fixe menu will be $55pp.

Dry hand, wet hand, pumpkin magic.

Our twice-cooked pumpkin coated in a quinoa crunch (yes, it’s gluten-free!) isn’t sticking around for much longer. Winter is settling in and the produce is changing.

New menu to drop on June 23.

Boo

Before we moved to Australia, we’d never eaten school prawns before. The first time we ordered them, we were like “…do we eat the whole thing?”

Now, they’re on our menu and our favourite cheeky snack during service.

This could be you, Tuesdays to Saturdays from 5pm.

Book via the link in our bio, or roll the dice by walking in. We will always try to fit you in.
