Ogni

Tucked away on Devonshire Street in Surry Hills, Ogni is an Asian fusion restaurant from ex-Mastefchef stars Sarah Tong and Rashedul Hasan with a whole lot of soul. 

Meaning ‘fire’ in Bengali, Ogni uses fire to infuse smoky aromatics into their share-style menu, beautifully blending South and South-East Asian cuisines, and transforming traditional recipes into unexpected dishes. 

Start with an explosion of flavour with the fuchka, a crispy shell with a smooth chickpea and potato filling (similar to pain puri) complemented by smoked yoghurt and tamarind sauces. Then, move on to porchetta with a Thai basil pesto peanut sauce or charcoal-grilled calamari with a green mango salad. 

For dessert, tuck into crystal dumplings with passionfruit and coconut snow—the perfect refreshing finish to a unique Sydney dining experience.
