“ Delicious Butter Chicken, best I’ve tried in town. It is mild but has a good depth of flavour and warmth, good amount of meat. Naan Bread is the best in Alice Springs, we got a cheese and garlic naan, it was nicely cooked (not under done or burnt) and lots of melted cheese. Phoned at 6pm when it opened took about 40mins, which was what I was told as well upon ordering. ”
“ Fantastic. The wait was a bit long but well worth it. Everything was beautifully spiced with generous portions. The tandoor chicken has a nice char while being really moist and tender. I personally would prefer more garlic on the naan but it was amazing regardless. Best Indian I've had in quite a while. Definitely recommend. ”
“ Butter Chicken and the Cheesy Garlic Nan is to die for!!! Best Indian food in town. Owner is a great guy ”
“ We had the fish tikka, chicken tikka, malai kofta and the Dahl Makani, and it was fantastic! All of the dishes were perfectly balanced. The fish tikka, kofta, and chicken tikka were standouts- it inspired us to write a haiku. Fish tikka stunning Smokey, aromatic, love Malai kofta, boom!!!! We u tandoor xpression ”
“ I have personally tried every Indian restaurant in town and have to say this is my favourite. The food is really delicious and the staff are always really kind. The take away containers are always filled generously too. The only curry spot I'll be going to from now on. ”
“ An exceptional taste of flavours ,spices and textures. I had the Goan fish curry which was good. A pleasant surprise to be find such wonderful restraunts that served such delicious culinary delights, a much better alternative to the quite boring and standard pub food or unhealthy fast food, A nice vibe and friendly staff which I imagine is a family run business. Would recommend for anyone seeking a good Indian meal/curry. ”
“ This indian was one of the best indian meals we have had around Australia. Don't let the shop front appearance deter you. The butter chicken was so full of flavour and so were the onion bahjis. Really good value for money. And friendly service. Thank you for a wonderful meal. Would highly recommend!! ”
“ The place doesn't look much from outside but the food was fantastic. Very tasty and authentic. Chicken and lamb were juicy. One of the best Indian take aways we have had! ”
