Mr Brownie is Four-Storeys of ’70s and ’80s Tunes and British-Indian Fare in South Melbourne. The latest from the owner of Horn Please and Daughter In Law has a bar on each eclectic level – including one on the roof with city views – with more than 1400 beers, and pét-nat on tap.

On the menu: samosa burgers, butter chicken parmas, and weekend-only curry sausage sizzles. 

Singh designed the space himself, filling it with red-velvet furniture and an array of plants – all bathed in neon blue, red, green and purple lights – and playing tracks from the ’70s and ’80s.

Singh says Mr Brownie (the name is a playful spin on the tradition of naming pubs after historical European figures) is about showcasing Indian-British fare – and specifically how well curry and beer work together.​​​​​​​

Singh’s curry pies are another fun drawcard, and they come with curry-dusted fries. Choose from chicken tikka, a fiery lamb vindaloo, palak paneer (cheese and spinach) and the chickpea-based chana masala. They’re $8 to take away or $10 if you’re dining in.

You can order the curries – which Singh says are made with more aromatics but less heat than traditional Indian food – on their own too, or try two at once as part of the $20 thali special made popular at his other restaurants, with rice, pickles and pappadums.
