Spice is the aim of the game. If you’re preparing for a little bit of heat at one of the 2025 Perth Fringe Cabaret shows, KARLA is here to match that with a flame kissed menu of modern Asian fusion, cooked over woodfire and coals for a meal that’ll certainly heat up your evening.
Whether you’re in Northbridge or the CBD, KARLA is a must-try destination for a dining experience that will fire up your senses this Perth Fringe.
Ugly Baby
