Best Curry house in adelaide??

For mine either Maya Indian (off gouger) or Jasmin's

any other good 1's out their to try??

there is one on woodville rd called Royal India, they make some fine food and if you like hot as hell, they will do that 2. I always ask it to be so hot that fire exstinguisher be put on stand by, Chief knows what i am talking about

Spice Kitchen on Kensington rd does excellent lunch specials for about $7.Beef vindaloo is really good.Also did an all inclusive banquet (including beer) for about $45 from memory. If you are in need of an emergency curry to have on hand for the World Cup,Matani on Saints rd Salisbury do a passable frozen Thai Red or Green that isn't as bad as it sounds.

Beyond India on O'Connell St is the best one I've been to in Adelaide. Special mention to my regulars (Urban India on Henley Bch Rd & Nizams on Airport rd)!

a couple of good ones on Unley Rd, Snakecharmer and Chefs of Tandoori
also Ruby Raja out at Tea Tree Gully
and one just up the road from me in Nairne, Chingari

Exeter Hotel on Rundle st does a pretty good curry night Wednesdays on the balcony. Agree with comments on Maya, Jasmine and Beyond India, can't comment on the others. Although I live close to Shankar's on M North Road I've never been there . Is it any good cheers

Sagamatha on Payneham road is pretty good as well

I think Jasmins is overrated although very highly rated by most, not tasty enough for my liking.
I actually find the takeway in the Marion food court (especially the Vindaloo) better than Jasmins.

Pride of India on Jetty Rd Glenelg gets my vote.

The one on Rundle St (Taj Tandoor?) used to be pretty good - haven't been there for yonks though.

Best value for money goes to the takeaway shop on Marion Rd at South Plympton (Rana Tandoori).


By far the best curry I ever had was at a grubby backstreet curry house somewhere in Earl's Court, London. Far superior in terms of price AND quality to any curry joint in Oz.

Totally agree pseudo, best curries i ever had were over there, nothing gets close to it over here (bar me brothers ), i really dont see the reason for this???
If you ever fine yourself in England make sure you get a curry.... sounds strange but spot on!!!

Yep, Spice Kitchen is right up there. The $7 lunch deal is great value and the food is exceptional.

Actually best curry Ive had was one made by a Phillipine lady of Indian descent on New Years Eve, un bloody believable, she used to cook them for Pt Noarlunga Footy Club, if I'd known that a few years ago I would have switched over from the Noarlunga shoes!

in the stamford plaza on nth tce, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

some joint i think called oh calcutta on south rd, is very nice indeeeed

Snake Charmer (Unley Rd?)
Bombay Bicycle Club

Re Mick, Scoob, Psuedo,

Curry has now replaced fish and chips as the national dish in the UK. And being as there are now more than 5 million Asians over here, it's not suprising that you found the best curry in the UK.

Oh Calcutta, South Rd, Morphett Vale.
Always entertaining. The owner/chef sings while cooking.
Very small restaurant but very well decorated.

Australia has great curry, I haven't eaten Englsih curry though. Best curry I had was in Singapore in "Little India" eaten off a clean banana leaf, a nice old spicy chicken masala.
And while we are talking about curry...In Japan the popular curry is a variation of Keen's curry powder. There is an Indian run chain store here called "Nanuk's" that do the best curry I have eaten here, not many people know of it though so there aren't many stores.
What surprises me is the amount of Americans and Canadians over here that have never eaten a proper curry, they eat the Japanese version and they go on about how delicious the curry is in Japan. Turns out that curry is virtually unknown in many places in the U.S. I can't figure out why, the internet reveals there are many Indian restaurants in America. Yet if they eat a home made attempt at an Indian curry they tend to enjoy it.
Are Poms and Aussies more receptive to Indian cuisine?

Your final question is a good one TRB I first got into curries in the 1970s awhen I was astudent one of my colleagues was of Indian extraction , she inrotroduced an ignorant country boy to this cuisine.... been hooked ever since,

Does anyone remember "the ceylon hut" in Bank ST? now closed in the late 90s Great restaurant!!!
