The Grand Pavilion

The Grand Pavilion brings the full spectrum of Indian flavours to Umina Beach. Family-run for more than two decades, this welcoming spot leans on time-honed recipes, careful spicing and high-quality ingredients to deliver meals that linger in the memory.

From the tandoor come smoky aromas - think tandoori paneer tikka before settling into comforting curries and biryanis. Butter chicken is silky with tomato, while Chettinad chicken brings a bolder, aromatic heat. Lamb shank masala is slow-simmered and hearty, and Nilgiri korma lamb folds in southern spices with coconut cream. Seafood sings too, with a Goanese fish curry brightened by coriander and coconut and prawn Malabar luxuriating in coconut milk. Vegetarians are well looked after, from paneer butter masala to malai kofta.

The mood is cosy and friendly, made for unhurried meals with friends and family. Attentive staff are on hand to guide choices, helping guests find dishes that suit their palate so everyone feels right at home.

Make a date with spice and settle in at The Grand Pavilion. Bring your appetite and a sense of adventure - the flavour road awaits.
