Could this be Canberra’s best Indian restaurant?When the ‘rona was at its peak in April, we swung by Melba shops one Saturday morn to walk the dog and get a coffee. Grabbed a flyer for ‘From Delhi to Canberra’ while I waited for the brew. OMG, look at all their naan options, I thought.
We finally went last Sat night for a sit down meal. Were very impressed.
Do you have lassis? Yes, would like to try a rose lassi? Whaaat? Can there be such a thing?
My beloved was thrilled with her choice, and kindly shared a bit.
Verily, I say unto you, you must try their rose lassi, and the mango lassi. Thick and tasty and definitely we’ll order them again.
The Chicken 65 entrée was hot and zingy and I am so happy with the choice. Beloved tried some in India last year, and wanted to see what an Australian version was like. Tremendous dish.
Delhi to Canberra’s daal makhani, lamb biriyani with raita, and the anchovy & spinach naan were all full of flavours.
The hardest part about returning in July will be trying to not order the same thing again, because each dish was superb.
Service too was attentive and excellent.
Please, if you’re ordering take away/pick up, order via their website and Menulog, because the third-party sites’ charges are too high. Using the restaurant’s site helps their family business to maintain their staff. Like so many local hospitality businesses, they need our support if we can provide it.
Could this be Canberra’s best Indian restaurant? I need to return for a second opinion, but based on our first visit, they’re definitively in my top three. See less
