Book NowAbout Lions And Tigers
Tucked just off the Cappuccino Strip in Freo, Lions And Tigers turns modern Anglo-Indian cooking on its head with punchy spices and zero heavy gravies. Locals lean hard into the chef-selected 'feed me' feasts—multi-course spreads that arrive fast, stack the table with sharing plates, and leave enough curry for takeaway containers. The non-negotiable order is the blistered sourdough naan, served warm with whipped ghee and black cardamom salt or stuffed with cheddar and truffle butter. Confit leeks, crisp bhajis, and fiery Sri Lankan black pork curry balance sharp acidity with deep, dark-roasted spice before a slice of dark chocolate delice wraps up the table.
- Inventive Anglo-Indian Flavors: Modern Anglo-Indian sharing plates prioritize bright, clean spice balance over heavy gravies, from confit leeks to fiery Sri Lankan black pork curry.
- Cult-Favorite Sourdough Naan: Charred, house-fermented flatbreads come paired with whipped ghee and black cardamom salt or stuffed with melted cheddar and truffle.
- Generous 'Feed Me' Feasts: A chef-curated sharing progression sends out generous courses of starters, curries, and dessert, routinely sending groups home with leftovers.

Bold Spice Profiles Without Heavy Richness
Lions and Tigers balances pungent South Asian spice profiles with clean, acidic freshness across modern Anglo-Indian small plates that avoid the heaviness of standard cream gravies.

Julia Buckley Inventive and Thoughtfully Balanced Flavor Craft
Dishes are designed with culinary precision and fast pacing, matching inventive recipes like Sri Lankan black curries and pork collar with balanced accompaniments.
Flavours were bold, well-balanced, and you can tell there’s real thought behind every dish.
ros Kim (Roskim) Abundant Chef-Led Group Feasts
The kitchen's multi-course tasting progression removes the stress of ordering for groups and arrives in generous quantities that regularly supply take-home boxes.
Had the feed me menu which is plenty of food, we took 3 containers home.
Ca Bi Comprehensive Sharing Spreads for Tables
A multi-course 'feed me' selection allows parties to experience a broad cross-section of the kitchen's signature curries and starters without portion limits.
We got the chef’s pick for 5 people and basically got to try most of the menu. Everything was delicious and fresh.
Dave Snorlax Signature Sourdough Naan with Whipped Ghee
The kitchen bakes artisan sourdough naan with distinct chew and tang, pairing the bread with whipped ghee and black cardamom salt.
No visit is complete without their sourdough naan with whipped ghee. I’ve had naan all over, but nothing comes close to this.
adrian moore Truffle and Cheddar Stuffed Fermented Breads
Specialty flatbreads push traditional boundaries by combining slow-fermented dough with decadent fillings like cheddar, black truffle, and fermented mushroom butter.
The Cheddar & truffle stuffed sourdough naan, fermented mushroom butter, was to die for.

Chef's feed me menu
We did the chef’s feed me menu and it was absolutely amazing!! Every dish was excellent and we couldn’t fault a thing.
Tiana Andreello Sri Lankan black curry
For the first time, we tried the Fried Sri Lankan Black Pork Curry with Jalapeños—hot, fiery, and absolutely packed with flavour. Huge, well-cooked chunks of pork paired with fragrant saffron rice made it an unforgettable dish.
adrian moore Cheddar and truffle stuffed sourdough naan
The Cheddar & truffle stuffed sourdough naan, fermented mushroom butter, was to die for. I could have eaten this all to myself.
Tan Sally Sourdough naan with whipped ghee
No visit is complete without their sourdough naan with whipped ghee. I’ve had naan all over, but nothing comes close to this. It practically melts in your mouth, and with a dollop of whipped ghee and black cardamom salt, you might as well be in heaven.

Dark chocolate delice
To finish, we shared the Dark Chocolate Delice—a divine mix of peanut butter, roasted white chocolate, and caramel.
adrian moore Onion bhaji
Onion Bhaji is always our starting point—my personal benchmark for any Indian restaurant. They nailed it. Crisp on the outside, soft (but not mushy) inside, perfectly balanced with pickled red onion.
adrian moore Shark Bay scallops
A standout was the Shark Bay scallops, replacing the octopus we once loved. No disappointment here—just beautifully cooked scallops, elevated with a masterful blend of spices and mushrooms.
