7 Indian Restaurants in Canberra

The pungent flavours and spicy aromas picked up by your nose when you walk through the door at many of Canberra's Indian restaurants might lead you to believe that the culinary culture here is all about savoury food. But that couldn't be further from the truth: while the diners and chefs alike at Canberra's Indian restaurants love starters like onion bhajis and main courses jam-packed with spice, there's a lot to satisfy even the sweetest of teeth as well. If you'd like dessert to be a major part of your meal, it's definitely worth booking at Copper Chimney in the Melbourne Building on W Row, which offers a wide range of traditional desserts from India including gulab jamun dumplings and carrot halwa - a decadent pudding made with carrots and milk. If you don't fancy a heavy dessert or you're feeling warm in the pleasant temperatures of the city, why not try a kulfi? This gorgeous Indian ice cream comes in flavours ranging from nutty pistachio to fragrant saffron and is topped with a delicious rose syrup for an extra sweet touch.
