“Amazing food!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2012

Ordered take away and was ready very quickly and the eggplant curry and the malvani chicken were absolutely to die for...beware though the malvani chicken is very spicy! I would highly recommend this restaurant! More

1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2012

Having heard lovely things about this place, and wanting to go for a long time, my boyfriend and I finally headed there for the first time tonight. Well, we didn't even stay to eat after the service we received. First off, we entered and asked if they were still open since it was approx 8.00pm. They said yes and walked... More

“Best Indian Restaurant in Australia!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2012

This is the best Indian Restaurant I have ever been to. The food was delicious, and the menu varied and reasonably priced. Do not let the cafe-like interior put you off. Your tastebuds will miss out on a great meal. Menu includes Tandoori, North and South Indian cooking and vegetarian. More

“Expensive”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 March 2012

Indian Restaurant, has plenty of awards up on the wall. Meals were okay, but found very expensive as compared to other Indian restaurants. Rice not served with meal, charged extra. Service okay, not as friendly as other places. probably would not go there again. Although it seemed to be very popular. More

Love the food - the restuarant is a bit noisy though, so not really a venue for a romantic evening. More

I was in Darwin for business and met a friend for drinks and a meal. Had read TA reviews for Char and tried that night before (fabulous), but my friend was feeling in a random mood for a meal, so we stopped at Garam Masala for dinner just as we were walking past it. It's on Mitchell St up where... More

“Worst Indian food ever!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

Went to Garam masala on boxing day.. Food was awful..the kebab starters seemed to have been microwaved probably prepared pre-Christmas. Mains were the hottest we have ever tasted! Being Indian we know what Indian food should taste like! Staff were arrogant and were not willing to acknowledge our complaints! Wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone! More
