Pangaat Indian restaurant & Bar

Gold Coast spice hounds are quietly packing out the tables at this newly expanded Mudgeeraba spot—and for good reason. Pangaat delivers next-level, made-from-scratch Indian fare inside a gorgeous Keralan-style dining room. The move here? Start with the chatpata punch of their pani puri. Crisp. Spicy. Fiercely refreshing. Then go all in on the sizzling platter. Chef Akash frequently works the floor while the kitchen fires out flawlessly plated lamb korma and what might just be the most unapologetically rich butter chicken around. A constant stream of diners keeps the room buzzing. The air is thick with toasted spices. Scoop it all up with heavenly, fresh-from-the-tandoor naan and finish with divine gulab jamun washed down with proper masala chai. Flavour-packed. Vibrant. Absolutely essential.
