From a quick and casual weekday bite to dining destinations that will transport you to the streets of Mumbai, we’ve found a selection of spots that put punchy flavour, spice and passion at the forefront of everything they do.

Indian Room

With a long history of success in family restaurants, owner Richa Chawla once operated a venue back in India and continues to see similar success at Indian Room in Milton “…my vision for Indian Room has always been about reinventing a North Indian cuisine with a modern touch, all while empowering the hospitality industry and driving sustainability goals,” Richa says. 

On the menu, you’ll find plenty of their signature dishes like smoked butter chicken, and loaded butter chicken fries, along with an expansive vegan menu.

Daawat Indian Restaurant

As all good things do, Daawat started as a means to feed friends and family a taste of home. Now extending their warm hospitality and incredible family recipes to the people of Brisbane, Daawat is a staple on the Indian scene. Whilst they specialise in Gujrati Kathiyawadi cuisine (heavy on the garlic, onion and green chillies), Daawat are also highly considerate of dietary restrictions with plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians, and a select menu devoid of garlic and onion.

The daily lunch special (11am to 2pm) is a bargain and starts at just $13.
