At Horn Please in Fitzroy, Melbourne, chef Jessi Singh elevates the street food of his Punjabi youth to a minor art form. There’s his unforgettable tandoori-charred paneer in bright purple beetroot sauce. Also paneer dum anari, a plate of housemade cheese and pomegranate smothered in creamy cashew gravy. To mop it all up, bubbling-hot garlic naan slicked with ghee. And for dessert: handmade honey and pistachio kulfi. Help yourself to the fridge full of Australian microbrews (Feral, Nomad, Two Birds) and kick back for a long night of drinking and face-stuffing beneath the kaleidoscopic paintings of Australian artist Rebeccah Power and kitschy maharaja portrait collection of co-owner Jennifer Singh.
