Harris Park is Sydney's most concentrated patch of Indian and South Asian cooking, with Wigram Street lined by restaurants covering North Indian, Indo-Chinese, and South Asian dishes that draw diners from across the metropolitan area. Most options are reasonably priced, making it one of the better places in Sydney to eat well and spend relatively little. The strip around Parramatta's western edge is distinct from any other suburb in the city for the depth and variety of its Indian cooking.
