‘Magical combos': New bar trend brings surprising flavours to Sydney's drinks scene

Are Indian wine bars Sydney's unexpected hospitality trend for winter 2025? With new venues opening on the northern beaches and eastern suburbs, you wouldn't bet against it. Bazaar & Bar opened this week among the distilleries and craft breweries of Brookvale – the north side's answer to Marrickville – while down by the harbour at Rose Bay, Rasa House has started pouring lychee margaritas and aromatic white wines that can meet a curry head-on. Previous SlideNext Slide But why Indian, and why now? The owner of Bazaar & Bar, Kabir Arora, concedes his wine bar start-up hasn't grown out of a culture built on matching wine with food. 'Hard liquor,' Arora said, when asked about the drink of choice in India. 'But wine is slowly making its way in.' Arora is instead taking his lead from the growing number of winemakers in Australia with Indian heritage. He points to Rojer Rathod at Majama Wines in the Hunter Valley: 'His nero d'avola pairs well with our goat.' And he stocks the Sanskrit Pinot Gris made by Domaine Simha, a Tasmanian winery owned and operated by winemaker Navneet Singh.
