Very average for the price. Food was mostly cold and service was slow. Chick pea curry was very salty and filled with potatoes, roti was dry and seemingly home made raita was watery and appeared to contain bi carb soda. Not sure how it won so many awards! More

This restaurant is over rated . The murky brown coloured beef vindaloo has no discernible taste. The butter chicken contains horrid meat full of tendons. Over priced when a small takeaway containor has 2 to 3 chunks of meat and is full of sauce. I can't understand why this resaurant is still popular More

A fabulous Indian restaurant with a varied menu including many items outside the typical food served at other Indian Restaurants. Combined with the Spice Kitchen and cooking schools the Dhaba has become an Adelaide favourite. More

The smells as you enter are a clue to the treats in store. Some of the best Indian food I've ever had. So many dishes to choose from and you can buy fresh Indian cooking ingredients to take home. More

Terrible tasting food with uncooked naans and heavily salted curries.. would not visit again to save my tastebuds and gut the agony. Drove all the way thinking it would be great food considering the overpriced and decorated menu only to be disappointed.Most of the other averagely rated restaurants are better. More

I had the pleasure of dining here again recently was very impressed as usual. This multi-award winning restaurant (including best Indian in Australia) continues to serve innovative, delicious, sublime Indian food that I'm yet to see matched elsewhere, locally or internationally. The owner, Ragini Dey, who develops spectacular new dishes for each new season, also runs cooking classes and has... More

I've visited this place twice recently- for lunch and dinner. Both times, I've been disappointed. The food and service is average. Pricing is high for the quality offered. In my view, they are not offering good value for money. I suggest that if you want a premium Indian dining experience in Adelaide, go to the Jasmin in Hindmarsh Square. If... More
