I first discovered this little gem through the 'Festival of Food' many moons ago. My aunty and…read moreuncle speaks highly of this place and regularly frequents it. Regardless, I was overdue for a visit. Before you even enter the establishment, the delectable smells wafting out into the carpark would stir any palate. In need of a renovation, one would be forgiven to conclude not to expect too much from this restaurant. It is rather drabby and the terrible lighting does not help. However, the staff are friendly, courteous and loyal. I recognise one of the staff from my first time here. Always a good sign of staff retention ability when you see a familiar face. Water was offered and poured upon seating. Menus distributed, we quickly made our selections. Entrees arrived in the form of pakoras, chicken tikka and fried mushrooms. All was lovely, except for the mushrooms. I didn't rate it, because it was rather beige and boring. Still, the portion was generous. Continuing our sharing is caring philosophy, our mains consisted of the prawns masala, butter chicken, aloo gobi and beef vindaloo, accompanied by safron rice, steam rice and naan bread. Every main was delicious, although the vindaloo is considered extremely hot to most, so diners beware. Only order it if you can handle the heat. I'm a massive capsaicin fan, however, I found it a little too warm, which can ruin your dinner if that was your only chosen main. Note the memorabilia and famous signatures decorating the space. It is a good place to eat, will definitely return in the New Year with friends in tow.

Indian food is one of my favourite take away foods to smuggle home so I was excited when I was…read moreOBLIGED (wink, wink) by the people I was with to order from Delhi Spice. We ordered what would probably be the most standard dishes (none of us were into hot spice). It was cooked on time and still piping hot when we got it home. The food in general was great and I would have rated this 4 stars, but it was the little things that deflated my excitement. The papadams were a little over cooked, as were the samosas. Even though we had ordered two serves of the samosas, we only received one mint sauce and we all know that the mint sauce isn't big enough (no matter where you go) to split between four people. All that being said, I would definitely order from there again and slink back to my home to eat it. They did have a nice 'dine in' area so maybe next time I will try that....maybe then I can have all the mint sauce I want!

What does one do for dinner when they go to the movies at Marion?…read more 1. Check out Caffe Primo? 2. A footlong from Subway? 3. Something cruel and disgusting from Hungry Jacks? Or 4. Google what else is in the area? If you answered #4 you are right and win the prize. Our Google session turned up a trove of potential dinner spots. We settled on Delhi Spice because we felt like Indian and it had overwhelming positive reviews elsewhere on the net--but not on Yelp due to a few people's average experiences. What was our experience? Good. Really good. - The restaurant is a bit "rough around the edges" but has charm nonetheless. We didn't dine in, though it may have been nice. Instead we opted for takeaway with the view of eating it at Brighton. Until we got to the car and realised we didn't ask for any cutlery. Home it was... - The staff were super dooper friendly. - The food: Y.U.M. I opted for the Aloo Matar. I have never tasted a more complex and well-balanced Indian sauce. It was alive in my mouth, ticking boxes like a curry possessed. There was fennel, acid--as though they read my mind and gave it a clever squeeze of lemon juice right at the end--and just the right amount of heat--which, for a vegan curry in Australia means *some* heat; why are we so afraid? - Prices: so so cheap. Dinner for two including 2 cans of soft drink for less than $25. VF - Ask and you will be handsomely catered for.

Charminar on The Parade is the place my boyfriend takes me to when my mum forgets my birthday, or…read moremy cat does a big wee on the couch. The cheese naan and butter chicken are like a delicious embrace and make me feel whole and well functioning again. I love the soft lighting and honey tones in the décor, and the elephant on the front counter and the wine list that seems to be specifically designed for us. What I do not love is having to leave the restaurant and totter up the long alleyway out the back to use the toilets. Apparantly the men's toilets are quite hazardous, my boyfriend was trapped in there for several minutes when the lock got stuck. I'm willing to overlook the toilet factor because I love the heck out of Charminar on the Parade, I really do. We all have our little regular spots that feel like home and this is mine. Last time we had to move tables because the air conditioner was blasting us and they couldn't switch it off. Also the naan last time was a bit dry and our waitress seemed somewhat distracted. But I'll forgive this one time because everyone has bad days. I'm a monogamist and our relationship will last forever. But sort out the air con please.

First of all, the restaurant is extremely trendy (chandeliers anyone?) it has a great atmosphere and the lighting is just right. We sat outside in the balcony seating because it was a warm night, I highly recommend this if you're on a date because it's slightly more private than inside. Service was a little slow but the food is worth the wait, Lamb Rogan Josh is my happiest Indian meal and the lamb is cooked to perfection, it melts in your mouth. Amazing. It's also quite reasonably priced which is always a winner for me! I know there are a few of these around but I'm going to be biased and say this is the best restaurant in the best neighbourhood. It is imperitive that you make a booking later in the week because its very popular, Charminar also offers take away if you feel like being anti social!

I love Ruby Raja!!…read more Sometimes when you love something a lot, thats all you want to say. But located just at the base of the Adelaide Hills on Perseverance Road, Tea Tree Gully in a beautiful old stone house, Ruby Raja is one of the best Indian places in Adelaide. Period. The most popular dish and my favourite is the Thali Curry plate - a mix of butter chicken, Beef Korma, Ruby Prawns, Chicken Tikka, Rice & Naan bread for $23.50 - you get to taste the best of everything, with the sides and they always let you change what dishes you want as part of the plate. So so tasty, so so delicious! I also think you should try the Mango Lasse, it is creamy and spice quenching - but I'm not your mum, whatever. Its cold outside, what about a jumper? They do dine in and take away and the interior is incredibly atmospheric and beautiful. They are very aware of Gluten Free requirements and staff will do everything to accommodate your requests and requirements and they're always on top of drink refills. This place is always busy - and for good reason! Great for groups, catchups and romantic dinners. Also great for a lazy take away if you live close enough! Do it, I say.

With the aim of 'eating locally', we chose to eat at Beyond India at Modbury - a 15 minute drive…read morefrom home. Without having to deal with traffic and city parking, this proved to be a good choice. When we arrived, there weren't any other guests in the restaurant but I was surprised to see another six groups of people arrive during the time we were there. We ordered entrees and mains, as we were the only people in the restaurant when we ordered I expected the food service would be quick. But our food did take a while to come out, it seemed that there were a lot of take away orders that were keeping the kitchen busy as well. The food was nice but not as good as Beyond India at North Adelaide. The butter chicken and plain naan were highlights. We noticed a poster in the restaurant detailing a 'more than you can eat' buffet that is held at Beyond India Modbury on the first and last Sunday of every month. At $23.90 per adult, it's something that I would definitely like to try next time.

This is a nice little spot in Modbury. Ample parking and easy to find for first timers. The decor…read moreis contemporary and clean. It is one of many indian restaurants in the tea tree gully area. The menu features your standard northern indian dishes and beverages with some alcohol too. Service was prompt and friendly. The food was served relatively quickly and well presented, however the flavour and heat was very westernized which I found disappointing (I ordered one dish as hot and one as medium-hot). I would return to Beyond India Modbury if the food had more heat intensity and flavour.

I totally would have missed this restaurant if it was not for Yelp. It is kind of hidden away in a…read morecorner next to Dominos & Salsa. They kind of over power it with their branding. Just keep a look out for the green and red sign. Indian Masala seems quite popular with the locals. I think it is one of the only Indian places around here. They are also open quite late to 12am Mon - Sun. The interior is not too flash, it's is pretty much a takeaway store with some options to dine. The tables aren't large, but suits fine for families wanting something informal and well priced. This is not top quality Indian food. But, it's pretty good. We had the Palak Paneer & Chicken Korma. Both sauces were well spiced and balanced. The Korma was a lot better than the Palak Paneer. I did not think that the palak (spinach puree) was as strong as I would have liked. This is one of my fave Indian curries, so I am particular with it. The paneer was nice though and had been cooked on a pan before going into the curry. I also tried a masala tea, which is more of a mellow version of a chai tea. Love that! Overall, a great shop to get some Indian takeaway.

Indian masala are a dine in or take away fully licensed Indian restaurant located in Arndale shopping centre ... Right near woolies. They have a huge menu and as a vegetarian this is an awesome thing ....

It was huge and they are $4.50 for two. I cannot wait to come back and try the other vegetarian curries they offer.

There are so many restaurants on Melbourne St. and was hard to pick which one to go. The first…read moreplace I wanted to go in was closed unfortunately so I picked Monsoon. The workers are very attentive and on top of things. For dinner, rice is a seperate order. My husband and I shared one naan and rice order but wasn't enough. But the garlic naan was fresh and excellent. The meat cuts are huge but I really liked chicken. It was very tender. Beef was more like stew meat, so it was bit too dry for me. The standard for spiciness is definitely American standard or should I say Aussie so not to worry. If you want Indian spicy, you need to specify when you order. Overall, it was a really good dinner with excellent service. The price is bit high for a simple Indian dish but at least no extra charge for using American Express.

After trying Monsoon a fortnight ago I have been back 3 times and have been hugely impressed with the array of dishes I've tried at each visit. Their Thali's are well sized and tasty, and the Dosai's are a cheap and filling traditional option. A good selection of vego options for the carnivorously challenged, and they are flexible with gluten and dairy free needs too. Reasonably priced and very friendly, attentive service, I'd recommend a street table on a nice night to watch the foolish people stomp down to a different restaurant! They seem to be perpetually open, too, which is a bonus!
