About Sauma

Perth regulars head to William Street when they want Indian street food reimagined as spirited tapas and craft cocktails. Crisp pani puri shots start the table before communal plates take over—think tamarind lamb ribs, charred calamari, and barramundi roasted inside banana leaf with mustard seed and Kashmiri chilli. Long communal tables fill fast with pre-theatre crowds sharing garlic naan and homestyle curries, washing it down with a chili-spiked cocktail before wrapping up with house mango kulfi.

  • Modern Street-Food Tapas: Interactive pani puri shots, tamarind lamb ribs, and shared tasting courses built around regional street flavours.
  • Coastal Seafood & Feasts: Local catch like barramundi roasted in banana leaf and grilled squid paired alongside curries and blistered garlic naan.
  • Northbridge Bar Energy: A lively corner room along William Street offering inventive cocktails, ideal for group dinners and pre-theatre drinks.
