Topi Restaurant
This beautiful restaurant blossomed from the mind of restaurateur and Sauma chef Gurps Bagga. Topi is a very flavoursome and colourful showcase of all of India’s regional cuisines. Once Bagga realised the importance of produce and climate limitations in creating these flavours from India, he was consumed by the idea of regenerative farming.
From there, he began to use Western Australian produce. Now, he produces delicious fish curries with Shark Bay Barramundi, and even uses fresh turmeric from Manjimup to create the signature margarita on the menu. Topi is the ideal destination for a group of people to bond and enjoy some great food.
