On first impressions we assumed it would be lovely but after being seated we waited for 20 minutes to be served while watching the servers look at our table multiple times only to turn and walk away... we finally got the attention of a lovely young lady and she took our orders, my partner axel asked for a thai tea but was told, "it takes a long time, you should probably order something else" which seems like a bit of silly response. Anyways, axel and i still love each other very much and can fill up on each others love when we get back to the hotel.

Took my friend here for a quiet birthday dinner. I was really hungry, we were early and there was…read moreno one else. 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.

I'm not sure what coffee bean they use but my flat white was delicious.

(it's the small things). I ordered the toasted cheese & vegemite sanger - cut into triangles - and my inner child felt content. Friendly staff and great playlist in the background. I'm already looking forward to returning. :)

On some dishes it is possible you may not find something comparable in either of those cities either... Reasons I give it a 5: Ramas has authentic spice and taste. I highly recommend any of the chef specialties, especially the Fijian pork and and the chicken. Spice-wise, when they tell you it is hot, they mean it! I appreciate that and for any North Americans missing flavor and spice, this is Their customer service is good, too. They responded quickly to a request for a different table, brought extra water, actually checked in, and once brought some complimentary bread. The owner is usually there and she periodically comes around and asks how everything is, which is nice. Things to know: It is BYO alcohol or there's a dank, sketchy shop next door where you can buy booze from a 4 year old and possibly. Good place for kids in the warm weather cause you can sit outside and let them run around a pedestrian courtyard (I recommend you let them bring scooters) Reasons I almost gave it a 4 instead of a 5: The dining room is a bit cramped, the palak paneer was weaker and less flavorful than I would like, and once in a blue moon the Fijian pork is overcooked making it taste tired, almost burned, but that is super rare and made up for she it IS en pointe. And the papandum is most probably store-bought and cooked ahead of time. That said, I will gladly overlook those things and the trip down from North Canberra for a trip to this wonderful spot, anytime.
