Absolutely loved the food here. One of the best Indian restaurants I've tried in Perth. The vindaloo's flavour was well balanced and the chicken nihala was cooked nice and tender. The portions were big and generous. The staff was also very friendly. Will definitely be back. Did not expect much at first when we made the booking as there were a few bad reviews floating around the web. Definitely don't believe everything you read on the web. The chef proved them wrong this time.
Excellent flavoursome curries that are hard to find on anyone's else's menu. Great buffet too!
If I want well-made, unique tasting curries, this is the place I visit. Best in town
Fantastic food, great taste, excellent service
Highly recommended
Well i ordered food through UberEats so i wont be able to comment on service and ambiences
The food i had ordered was the aloo tikka, lamb briyani, chicken nihari and pilao rice. I loved the aloo tikka and the chicken nihari, very flavoursome and well balanced. The Pilao Rice, smelled so good and it was really tasty. The lamb briyani wasnt anything special though, felt like rice mixed with lamb curry.
Overall, i enjoyed my meal in the comfort of my home 😁 was satisfied!

I went with my 10 friends for dinner and enjoy a lot specially with Nihari and qorma .The taste was amazing and reasonable price . Nice background music and friendly staff .will plan for dinner again .
Had a great meal, at a terrific price. Every dish was flavourful and interesting. I went with friends who had been there before and are connoisseurs of Freo's best eateries, and was a little surprised at the unprepossessing appearance of the place. Not hipster service, but efficient, pleasant and polite. Quiet enough that we had both a great meal and a very good discussion over dinner. I'll go back, and recommend it to all.

Authentic pakistani food. Their breakfast is a must try with authentic pakistani poori chanay and halwa. Awesome people and good service too.
Delivery was right on time and the food piping hot. I ordered the Aloo Paratha, Goan fish curry and Shahi Paneer to have with rice. The Shahi Paneer was a standout and I would happily order again. The others were good but not outstanding (so little fish!). Impressed by the Menulog experience - great option for home delivery in the Freo/Bicton/Palmyra area.
Fantastic flavours. Really like the flavours in both curries we tried. Although not enough of the tender beef in vindaloo container. Overall, it was reasonable value, friendly service and free delivery on time. Will try again...
Looking past the decor the food here was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavour and served with an authentic smile. We were using a scoopon and were refreshed to be greeted and seated as a full paying customer. Its BYO so deliberated over the extensive but varied menu with a glass of my favourite red. For entree we choose the Chicken Haleem (a slow cooked chicken and lentil stew/soup) which was a highlight of the evening and of course....onion bhajis. We scoffed that down with the complimentary popadoms and it was great timing for our main's to arrive of which consisted of chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and two homemade garlic naan's perfect to dipping in the sauce. Both main's were mild but full flavoured and tender chicken. Perfect
Definitely not the worst Indian restaurant in Fremantle. Goan fish curry could have been cooked out more, but the beef madras was lovely. Don't let the surrounds fool you about the flavor.
Yummy. We ordered 4 different curries and they all taste yummy. Service was very good the waitress always had a smile on her face.
Nice restaurant good food. Would hightly recomend the shahi paneer and royal fish korma.
The chicken biriyani needs improvement. In desserts the gulab jamun was awesome.
Would definitely recomend it to friends. Thank you.
Great flavoursome cooking!. As with other reviews, look past the decor! We had a lovely meal here, the best flavoursome curry that we've tasted in Perth. We had a Scoopon, we'd like to think the entrees might have been a bit more generous in size had we not had the voucher, otherwise they did seem pricey. We'd recommend Ajrak to our friends and we would return, delicious.
Great Indian food. Four of us went to the restaurant for a birthday dinner using a Scoopon voucher, we booked a Wednesday night.
We were greeted straight away and taken to our table, it was quiet but the aromas coming from the kitchen were pleasant.
The voucher was for a 3 course meal each, we started with Meat Samosas, Onion Bahjees,Chicken Tikka they also gave us some Poppadoms to eat while we were waiting. For Mains we had Garlic Naan bread, Rice, Lamb Rogan Josh, Beef Vindaloo, Chicken Korma & Prawn Jalfraizi. The food was very tasty & brought to the table quickly, the staff were very friendly we had a great night & would recommend this restaurant for anyone who likes good Indian food.
Excellent Indian restaurant with great service!. We had dinner at Arjak and was really impressed with the food and service! The garlic nan was the yummiest we've ever had and unlike some we've tried, was done just right--no burned charcoal bottoms! The curries were absolutely delicious, especially with their extra fluffy Saffron rice. We finished off with their ice cream for dessert and was amazed by the generous serving. Many restaurants give just one block but we got 3 blocks each. The pistachio ice cream was especially good. They also gave free bottled water.
Highly recommended!
Delicious food! would recommend. Food was delish, very very filling and there were vast array of options. Even the naan bread was special. Was quiet when we went, could of used some background music. A little bit of a wait for food but worth it for the taste.
Went on a Scoopon - they are a great way of trying new places at low cost in case they disappoint. This place did not. Friendly service, great food, large portions. The Pakistani chicken dish was unique and my Favourite. Only slight criticism was it was a bit chilly so my partner had to keep her jacket on. 1 liter bottle of complimentary mineral water and no BYO charge would make this place great value even without our Scoopon. Will return
Simple Indian. We purchased a scoopon voucher for 4 at $65. It included 4x entrée, 4x main, 2x rice, garlic naan & 4x desserts. Complimentary water & papadumps were also given. Huge serving for for little cost. Great incentive for a start of a new business, I probably wouldn't have tried it otherwise. The staff were lovely, the cutlery/plates were clean, and the tables were dressed nicely. The food was thumbs up for what it is worth. Give it a go.

Not for food snobs but worth the trip to Freo!. Four of us tripped down to South Freo from the northern ‘burbs to try the Arjak since hearing quite a few people talking about it.
The exterior of the place isn’t very appealing at first but hey, it’s what is inside that count’s. I have never been one to worry much about décor so long as the place is clean, the lighting right and the food and service great. It is here.
We forget about the menu and asked for the owner to just lay it all out for us, and wow! Everything was plentiful, tasty and filling. This isn’t 5 star but it is certainly value for money and well presented. Every dish is a winner.
We didn't want food that was too hot and spicy, and they delivered on that request, but we were informed that if hot and very hot and spicy is to your liking they will accommodate. I noticed someone made a note that the food here was not spicy or hot enough, but most westerners don't like hot spicy food and these establishments try to cater to western tastes. One only has to ask.
The ice creams are fantastic and a great palate cleanser.
The staff work hard and the service is pretty casual which is nice. A bit of a wait on some items but we had the evening to spare so it was typically sub-continental, nice and un-rushed. Gave us plenty of time to talk, drink and enjoy our conversation.
Meals are better spread over a long time like they are in Asia, Southern Europe and the middle east. You can eat more and not feel bloated!!!!!
BYO without corkage is a winner, so is the complimentary bottled water, especially if there is a few of you dining.
These guys are just starting out and I love to see people make an effort in a new business, and the crew at Arjak really try hard.
We will be back!
THE AJRAK RESTAURANT would like to apologize to few customers who came to dine in on Sunday 28th Sept 2014.
We are sorry that we could not make you happy. We are not justifying ourselves for late service but we would like to mention that few of our staff members did not show up that day and we served about 111 customers that day with short of staff. However, we managed to cope up after a couple of hours and tried out best to serve our customers efficiently.
@debjohn67: We want to compensate for the inconvenience you had and would like to request you to visit our restaurant again so that we can make up for it.
Regards,
Manager,
The Ajrak Restaurant
Must Experience this Indian Restaurant!. My family and myself ate at this restaurant last night, we are from an Anglo Indian background so we have eaten at many Indian restaurants around town and I must say the food here was absolutely delicious, the tandoori chicken was a must to order and as is the rest of the menu, the prices are really reasonable and the service is second to none!, I could say thou that the décor for an Indian restaurant wasn't up to scratch, it would be nice if they had more Indian memorabilia so you would get more of the feel of that you were eating in an Indian restaurant but I would say the food makes up for it as well as the polite and professional service, it is a must to go place if your after some spicy, tasty Indian cuisine.
I wish the restaurant the best of luck and for sure we will be going back there again in the near future!
Regards
Leon
Tasty food, great service. My wife and I had a great meal
Location is good, easy to get parking
Decor, atmosphere is fine, was fairly quiet night we went
Service was great, very friendly and attentive
Food was really good and couldn't be faulted - very tasty
We will be back - great to find a very good local restaurant
WOW AMAZING FOOD YOU MUST GET THERE. We dined here this evening, from the minute we walked in the service was exceptional, we loved the waitress she was so helpful and efficient, nothing was a problem, and neither there should be...
the food was outstanding and large portions, we had to bring some home.
We had 2 wonderful entrees boasting flavours I have not experienced before..
The Lamb Madras and Prawn Madras both delicious.
The garlic Nan one of the best I have ever had..
And the Saffron rice very fluffy..
I kept waiting to fault something but there was nothing to fault.
Possibly one of the best Indian meals I have ever had...and I have had a few..
I wish these guys success, they sure do deserve it..
The chef and Maitre'd were very friendly...
GET THERE SOON..they are offering a Scoopon deal at the moment..do it, you won't be disappointed
A New Gem in Fremantle. This is a family owned restaurant that really has the personal touch, the owners are warm friendly people who are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their menu, which is certainly not run of the mill Indian fare. I had the Chicken Nihari consisting of chicken on the bone in the most delicious spicy gravy, accompanied by plain rice and a chilli naan, just superb. My wife is still taking about the Chicken White Korma and I have no doubt we will be back very soon and on a regular basis. If you want an authentic and varied Indian food experience, do yourself a favour a pay a visit to the Ajrak, in my opinion the best Indian food in WA.
The best Indian food. The Ajrak has the best Indian food I have ever eaten - and I've lived in India! The menu is varied with many dishes not served elsewhere. The staff are friendly, the service excellent, I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. They haven't gone to town with the decor but that is part of its charm.
Exceptional Dine in experience I ever had in Australia. We have been to many restaurants before but I have to admit the quality of food in price is unbeatable in a city like Perth, i went there sunday night, Haleem and Nehari are only available at Ajrak in whole Perth, chicken tikka was juicy and properly BBQed, chicken Biryani was pretty good, Pistachio icecream was fantastic, papadum was crispy, all in all it was a five star experience, service was speedy and staff was very friendly
we would love to go back again.
Great quality food and service!. Delivery is super fast and they do not charge extra for it. Food is above average, malai kofta serving is a little small for its price, naan lacks yeast or rising agent. Aside from these few minor details, the Chicken is very nice and tender always! Love this place, will continue to order from here.
Just WOW. I've never liked Indian food and didn't think id ever change my mind. Then this place rocks up and blows me away with the unreal quality of food. Such authentic currys with fresh beautiful spices, fluffy rice that's just perfect as a side dish and the best naan bread I've ever had. If you haven't tried this place, you're missing out. 10 out of 10
Really impressive food. The best curry in Perth according to me. Don't be put off by the humble decor, makes it all the more authentic.

Nice stuff, nice people! A great place with quite a few different things on the menu that you won't see anywhere else.On the out-set, it may seem very similar to the standard Indian restaurants you see popping up around the place in Perth, one that caters well to the British expats throughout the suburbs. And the fare here has similar kind of stuff. Your choice of chicken, beef or lamb, available in the usual range of curry-styles: vindaloo, saag, korma, tikka, butter masarla, madras, rogan josh. You know, the usual stuff. There is the choice of chicken or lamb biryani and a range of naan-roti's.
But, don't let that stop you.
The most important thing about this place, was that the food TASTED GOOD. I was especially happy, that unlike some of these Indian restaurants opening lately, ALL THE CURRIES ACTUALLY TASTED DIFFERENT. I'm sorry I'm using capitals, but I have to emphasize that I really DID like the food here.
One of the things I noticed too, was that the rice wasn't bland, the saffron rice actually had a nice flavour and I can only assume the rice was salted a little bit; which is a nice touch that a lazy cook usually wouldn't bother with.
The only small gripe was that the food took a little longer than usual to arrive, but I won't begrudge that in an Indian restaurant; usually this means that the food will taste good, and it did.
From what I could taste, no short cuts in the cooking. No insipid curries here, that you may find in the run-of-the-mill Indian shop, where they all look and taste the same and only have a difference in colour.
Could it be, that because the new owners have experience in Hyderabad, one of the great centres of sub-continental cuisine, that the food has a difference in taste?
You can find a couple of old Pakistani favourites, haleem and nihari on the menu here. It was great to have these dishes. Again, it was something different which sets this place apart from the usual fare. (And the nihari was nice and hot too) There is also a white korma on the menu, alongside the usual korma, plus a mango chicken.
For any Anglo-Indian readers, I also had the Malayi tikka kebab, different to the usual tikka kebab, and it tastes very much like the filling in a chicken khati roll.Anyway, I like this place, and the people who run it; it's still early days yet, so maybe there'll be more diverse things to come in the future!
The new signage and paint work outside made us venture inside, we only live a couple of doors down so we thought we should support our local takeaway.
Yummo delish! Paneer tikka~hot style, lamb korma, saffron rice, raita and garlic naan were just the thing for a lazy Saturday evening takeaway. Very yummy and the woman who took our order was friendly, warm and welcoming. I think we'll be back!
Amazing Indian food. To date the best I have eaten in WA, by a long way. The flavours, spices and quality of the food is amazing. Service is also very good. Clearly a lot of people agree because their takeaway service was also very busy.
I have been here a lot in the past and it has always been delicious . The other say we went and ordered palak paneer which was ok , nothing excellent , not creamy just the spinach mixed with the cheese. They were open just 3 nights a week so they make the most money with take always , from 6.30 till 8.45 was a non- stop of people picking up take always. I think now they are doing quantity over quality… that’s very sad …
The food here is amazing! Awesome customer service too! I came by on my walk, just as they were closing and the lady working there was so kind and let me buy some yummy food to take home even though they were packing up. The price was fantastic and there are so many options for different dietary requirements (I'm vegan so I'm always looking for places that have amazing vegan food). The restaurant looks nice and clean inside- I haven't eaten there (only had take away) and there's a lovely park right next to the restaurant to eat your food at too.
Excellent food and great service. The tandoori chicken was incredibly good, one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Perfectly cooked!
Come here for very spicy curries !!
This place is in my opinion for people with a taste for very spicy curry and a tolerance for a street kitchens noise straight out of central Mumbai
The fish curry I had was excellent fillets of mackerel but when asked for the most mild curry it turned out to be medium to spicy.
The wait staff were excellent and the area has plenty of parking
If you are wanting a table where you can hear each other talk book a table in the back dinning rooms.
The front dining room serves from the window takeaways and has to shout tp people outside for their order
The staff also shout to each other from the kitchen only metres away.
This seemed at times to be faulty towers with good food.
Best Indian meal I have had in Australia, service great & lovely people & will be recommending to everyone. Will be back when in Fremantle.
Some of the best Indian takeaway I've ever had! Glad to find this gem of a spot tucked away in Freo.
