A wonderful surprise: authentic, high-quality Indian cuisine with matching table service, set on a quintessentially Australian streetscape in Gulgong. Haldi has been winning accolades since it opened in 2012, and deservedly so. Taste the creamy butter chicken or spicy beef vindaloo (some like it hot) and you'll know what we mean.
