Love, love love Indian food from here. We always get butter chicken, beef vindaloo, kuchumba, raita & naan. A must go to, much better than chutney marys in Subiaco, Perth.

Parking in Dickson on a Saturday night was somewhat difficult.... More

This is probably the best Indian in Canberra - their naans and vegetarian dishes are excellent
