The staff are always friendly and attentive, and take pride in the food they serve. Speaking of food, it is absolutely amazing and out of this world. They regularly source fresh ingredients and cook everything to order. And that makes a huge difference. The chicken tikka is my absolute favourite, and I always order it as an entree. You should definitely do the same.

The waiter who served us was, apparently, new, so the other guy had to show him what to do. Nevertheless, the service was polite and he anticipated our needs. The only time when it felt a little strange was while we were waiting for our meals, the other guy stood next to us and stared at the table for a bit. He was waiting for our waiter to come back to tell him to remove our glasses! So we were a little creeped out for a minute there. The food itself was beautiful. We started off with the Punjabi chaat- a potato and fried vegetable dish that is coated with a yoghurt dressing. This was a little different from the usual aloo chaat I have in civic, but still beautiful in its taste I often judge an Indian restaurant by the biryani they make. It is one of the Indian dishes I know well enough that people often get wrong. An Indian Affair didn't disappoint. The biryani was beautiful - juicy sweet chicken pieces, rice that is flavoured and not too dry or wet. The spice was perfect (I asked for added spice). My friend ordered the beef dalcha dish, which I tried a little off. Again, beautifully done juicy beef pieces and the gravy goes really well with the cheesie garlic naan we shared. The only gripe that I had was the price. In comparison to some of the Indian places I have been to in civic, this is a few dollars more expensive and I don't see a reason behind the prices. Finally, the decor itself is old fashion, which I really like. It's cosy and a little on the dark side. If you're intending to hold a big function though, I am not sure if it can hold much more than 40 people. But for our 2 people birthday and catch up dinner, it was lovely.

The owner is regularly at the restaurant and will discuss the meal and his culinary philosophy with the patrons, he is an interesting guy so it works out. This restaurant excels across the spectrum of what is often termed "North Indian Affair", with excellent appetizers (Chaat, Samosas, Pakoras, etc) as well as excellent chicken, lamb, beef, and vegetarian dishes. I think they really perfectedl the Eggplant Baingan, which is an eggplant/potato dish, I don't normally order the vegetarian options in Indian restaurants but it's just so good. The portions for all of the food are neither thrifty nor worthy of the Olympic weightlifting team, but regular-sized. Relative to other indian restaurants, there is comparatively less oil at Indian Affair, one does not find an oil soup at the bottom of the plate when the meal is done, though oil is still used but at a more mild level. "Hotness" level is intermediate, there's definitely an effective kick but it is not ridiculous. As an added plus, the Naan bread is not just fresh most of the time, it's been fresh each of the 10 or 15 times I've been there. I first found out about Indian Affair because a friend from India had recommended it to a (Caucasian, American) friend of mine, who in turn recommended it to me. I've since recommended it to ~10 other people, and there's been consistent unanimous agreement that this a really solid Indian restaurant, at a level which is surprising to find in Canberra. I've been going there once or twice a month for a while, and I'll keep going.

They did not rush anything; you could tell that it was all cooked slowly and with care and pride. The naan was perfectly light and fluffy inside with great flavor, texture, and slightly crunchy outside that's the hallmark of a well-conditioned tandoor oven. The very good quality chicken breast pieces also from the tandoor oven were tasty and tender with rich flavor, and bathed in one of the most creamy, luscious, and balanced butter chicken sauces that I've tasted.
