The Star of Avalon Beach: Masala Cove’s Signature Lamb Cutlets Everyone Is Talking About

When Masala Cove opened its doors in Avalon Beach, one dish instantly captured the attention—and cravings—of locals across the Northern Beaches: our Signature Char-Grilled Lamb Cutlets.

Perfectly flame-kissed, beautifully spiced, and plated with a modern coastal twist, these Lamb Cutlets represent everything Masala Cove stands for:heritage flavours, contemporary presentation, and a fresh Northern Beaches dining experience.

✨ The Dish That Defines Masala Cove

At first glance, what stands out is the vibrant contrast of colours—the crisp char of the lamb, the earthy glaze, the bright fuchsia beet purée, and the fresh greens that bring the plate to life.

But the story of the dish goes deeper…

🔥 1. Slow-marinated, Flame-Grilled Perfection

Our Lamb Cutlets are marinated for hours in a blend of warm Indian spices, yoghurt, and fresh herbs.Once ready, they hit the grill, giving them that gorgeous smoky exterior you see in the photo. The outside chars beautifully, while the inside stays tender and juicy.

🌿 2. Served With Coastal Freshness

To balance the richness of the lamb, we add crisp Northern Beaches greens—fresh, cool, and vibrant.This little touch of coastal freshness is part of our promise:modern Indian food with a relaxed beachside soul.

💗 3. The Bright Beetroot Purée

The silky beetroot purée brings colour and flavour in one swipe.It’s slightly sweet, slightly earthy, and made intentionally to complement the spice profile of the lamb.

🥄 4. Herb Chutney for the Perfect Bite

No Indian dish is complete without something green.Our house-made herb chutney brings sharpness, citrus, and a burst of freshness that completes the plate.
