Relaxing and Lively. I loved the paneer best and also had a soft spot for the lamb. Nana bread was appetising but I did find the Goan fish curry a tad too sour. The lady host was friendly and engaging. It was a nippy night outside and there was a boisterous lad's big night party in the bar section. The children must have loved their butter chicken and special coloured rice. The birthday bloke at our table could not get the goat curry he was eyeing for. Licensed, it had a healthy crowd on a Saturday evening. Overall I was happy with the tastiness of the various gravies and the whole experience.
THE BEST INDIAN RESTAURANT!!!. This would be my favourite Indian restaurant, been here numerous times. The atmosphere is always comfortable and pleasing, food is always consistant and perfect, my favourite dish would be the Lamb Korma followed closely by Butter Chicken both an absolute delight. The staff are very kind and helpful in selecting dishes and asked numerous times how the dinner was.
Thank you for providing a great dinner, will definitely be back!
I love going here! The foo.... I love going here!
The food is great and the staff are very hospitable. Very reasonably price mains and a nice atmosphere.
By far my favourite Indian food in Canberra.
Unexpected Surprise. I will admit, this is not the type of restaurant I usually go for and upon entering the place I was somewhat ready to lower my expectations. That said, I'm always up for trying something new and Indian/Italian fusion is just that.
While the decor isn't exactly to my taste and the split between the restaurant and the dance venue a bit of an odd choice, the food speaks for itself.
With lots of interesting options on offer, there is generally something for everyone (unless you don't like good food). Worth a try, at least once, if you make your way to Canberra.

Fan-fusion-tastic!. I’ve heard complaints that Digress cannot decide if it is a club or a restaurant, and to that I ask why it matters? It successfully toes the line between fun night out and elegant meal in the city.
Having been there a handful of times, Digress is the sort of chameleonic venue which can suit the needs of a number of different occasions. I’ve been with friends for a casual dinner, with a colleague for a business dinner, with eight of my closest friends for a giant banquet and Digress always gets the job done. The food sounds weird, no doubt.
Indian/Italian fusion was bound to be one of those things that was either going to be sublime or a giant disaster. Thankfully, it’s the former.
The Paneer and Mozzarella fritters are crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, and the dipping sauce packs a punch (not for wimps like me). Naan, an Indian staple, is reinvented here as the feta naan melts in your mouth so easily that the only regret becomes that it is gone. Even just the regular naan is surprisingly delicate and flavourful – and it’s just plain naan.
Not living in Canberra, my problem when it comes to the mains is being scared to try new things and missing out on having my favourite – the Tandoori Chicken Penne. This pasta is really flavourful (without being too hot), and the charcoal-grilled chicken provides so much more to the meal than an ordinary pasta with its smooshy chicken pieces.
Don’t be sad if you do like spicy food, though. Digress has you covered. In an instance of branching out, I tried the Paneer Risotto, and whilst I sat and quietly wept at the table from spiciness, the dish only rated a medium on the chili factor. And it was amazing.
Food aside, Digress is set apart from its competitors by its excellent service – a known criticism of Indian restaurants (at least in Sydney) where the majority of service staff are disinterested students. The Digress girls are absolutely lovely, happy to make recommendations, answer questions, accommodate my vegan friend and ensure that no glasses go empty. The beverage list is reasonably priced, and always features some sort of interesting craft beer – which is always a win in my book.
So, whilst it’s a big call, I’m going to say it’s my favourite restaurant. Ever. In fact, most people would like me to stop talking about it. My only complaint? How infrequently I am able to visit.
The food and service was fantastic. The Italian and India dishes work surprisingly well. There was a minor mishap of the night which was that our drinks were forgotten. But overall it was a great experience.
The waitress must have owned the place because her personal service was incredible. She would do anything for us. She helped us choose from an unusual menu and we were all happy. Large well cooked dishes with special flavours. A great experience.

An infusion delight. An infusion of Indian and Italian. It sounds scary...... but fear not....... it's TOTALLY worth the risk!! Tonight was my second venture into Digress....and i couldn't wait to see what else it had in store for me.
My first venture into Digress saw me attempt the Fetta Naan for entree and the Tandoori Chicken Penne for my main. It was absolutely fabulous!
Tonight i was going all out. Our waitress was kind enough to make suggestions based on my love of spice, and my friends dislike of spice.
We chose to go with all of the waitresses suggestions. Entree was the Cheese and Oregano Naan, main was the Chilli Chicken Fusilli (and it provided just the perfect amount of spicyness), and then dessert was the Gulab Jamun with Gelato (golden fried dumplings in a rose syrup with pistachio flavoured gelato). All up we spent $40 each for our meals which also covered a beer as well. We left as two very full, and very happy customers.
Could not recommend it highly enough!
Will DEFINATELY be coming back again!
An interesting idea. After some initial misgivings the experience was just fine
A fantastic Museum and war memorial. Would highly recommend attending if you are visiting Canberra. It is free to the public but you do need to go onto the website a book a time due to covid restrictions.
I have to put 5 star. The memorial is amazing with fascinating stories. They have real artefacts from Second World War and First World War. Real size planes, canon,car, weapons ect…
The view from the unknown soldier tomb is amazing. You can see the parliaments on the other side
One of the best war memorials in the world. Not to be missed if you're in Canberra. Beginning from first world war, continues through the second and all the latest wars are added. Try to attend the closing ceremony during dusk. Lest we forget.
The War Memorial is a great way to remember the fallen and learn about the wars Australia was in. WWI, WWII, Vietnam war, Korean war and many more are included. There are countless artifacts and bits of information which tell visitors about Australia's part in the wars mentioned above. Unfortunately when I visited it was under renovation, although when it is done I will come again and see all the War Memorial has to offer.
Something every Australian should see, and take their children to see. It should be compulsary, stuff in there will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. It is impossible to walk thru this building and not be moved in some way. It is an amazing and timeless tribute to our fallen.
Go and see it.
Very interesting and informative, they were so young, quite emotional.
Still undergoing renovations and the Vietnam section is currently closed off.
Was very moving and so much material has been collected and preserved from battles of the past and memories of those special moments of human kindness which flourished in such terrible times.
Amazing place full of so much history, very emotional. Highly recommend everyone to make the effort, going under major renovations
