Superb food.. much much better than many Indian restaurants in Melbourne. If you are in Hobart must visit.. We all enjoyed the food, I personally enjoyed it most and on top of it best ambience and customer service.
Best butter chicken. The garlic cheesy naan bread is to die for. So good. The service is quick and great customer service too.
This restaurant has lured us all the way to Tassie (from Sydney) for their phenomenal Goat Biriyani.
In 2018 we first stumbled to this restaurant as we were staying in an adjacent hotel. It was buzzing with crowds on a Friday night and we were lucky enough to get a table. We ordered Goat Biriyani and Goan Fish curry. The waiter asked whether we would like to have the food normal or spicy which we gladly opted to spicy assuming it would still be quite mild all the way in Hobart.
The food was divine, literally out of this world. Flavours were tantalising tastebuds to the next degree. The group unanimously agreed that this was the best biriyani everyone had had in Australia.
Fast forward two years and I noticed a bargain flight to Hobart and grabbed it with the primary objective of treating ourselves to the ultimate Goat Biriyani.
We were in Hobart 3 days and we had a meal at Annapurna each day. Again I will bring my focus to the Goat biriyani. Two years later the crowned biriyani did not fail to deliver, same standard if not better. At times when you revisit an old favourite restaurant it fails to live up to the original experience. However, thankfully Annapurna delivered and exceeded our expectations. We ordered Goat Biriyani (Spicy), Chicken Tikka Masala (Spicy), Prawn curry (Spicy), Saag Paneer (Spicy) and cheese naans. If you are blessed enough to be visiting this place do order Goat Biriyani – Spicy. The Saag paneer is another favourite of mine. I have only had it this good in this restaurant. Cheese naan was also a favourite. There was a volcano of cheese oozing from the naans. My first time experiencing such a rich naan. I will remember to order it next time we fly to Annapurna.
I cannot recommend this gem of a restaurant enough. Truly hope someday they will open a branch in Sydney. Until then we’ll fly to Hobart for Indian. Thank you Annapurna for maintaining the standard.
Had tried their chicken Tikka and sea food thali. I should have asked if the chicken was halal before placing order. However i only realised after the food arrived, although i had hardly touched the food. Tye staff quickly swapped it with Lamb which was halal and charged me only for lamb and not chicken despite insisting that I'll pay for both as it was my fault. Their sea food thali is the best i ever had.
This was not our first option we wanted to try Cinnamon but since they were fully booked we walked to Annapurna. It's always nice when they offer poppadoms on the house, reminds me of the restaurants in India.
We went for the paneer tikka masala as a main and garlic rotis. All their main curry's come with a portion of rice. The person serving us was really nice when we asked will this be enough and he was like yes, the rice proportion is good for 2.
The paneer was really nice, well spiced and not too hot. The garlic rotis too went really well with the paneer. It was really nice meal and really good service.
We ordered from Annapurna through menu log on a cold wintery summer’s night when we could not convince ourselves to leave the hotel room! The beef korma was delicious, as was the veg navaratan and veg samosas. I don’t think we got the rice we ordered but they provided two different rices instead so we can’t complain, both were yum. There was enough leftover for lunch the following day. I can’t comment on the restaurant but the take away service was good and I thought the prices were very reasonable. Picture shows a sample of everything we ordered.
If you are looking for some Indian curry near Salmanac Pl then this is your stop. The food is good, and complemented with good service.
The ambience is simplistic and the space is big enough to host multiple groups together.
Absolutely loved our dinner here. Had Goat Curry and Lamb Korma, plus some cheese and spinach naan. The dishes were so tasty and the meat was very tender. And there was plenty of it. The staff were polite and attentive. Highly recommended.
If in Hobart we recommend you check out this little gem, which is one of the best Indian restaurants we have ever been to. I had the Mango Chicken and my partner had the Goan Prawn curry, along with a couple of naans which were delicious.
This lovely restaurant sits next to La Prochetta an Italian restaurant well worth missing! see my review, the food is excellent as is the service - very busy on weekends so make a booking before showing up!
Great food, staff and service. Will definitely go back..
Fantastic food at at great price, great service, great atmosphere and as well as being licensed and recently well priced alcohol, it's also BYO. I come here every time I'm in Hobart on Business and never have been disappointed.
The food arrived on time, customer service was really good, food was average I would say but the food quality was great. The environment was also pretty nice. We ordered for special thali and seafood thali with some starters, everything arrived on time without any delays. On the desert we ordered for mango kulfi, kulfi was really delicious. If you are in the city area and looking for a restaurant dinner with some drinks, this would be your place.
Suriya Banquet is one of the best option in the menu. Where you get different types of starters, curries, naan, rice and ending with beautiful dessert made by them. It could be a good place if you want to give a party to your friends and families with Indian food.
Quick service , food was great and fresh . Everything came out promptly and hot .
I loved the garlic cheese naan and butter chicken .
Surprised by the negative reviews. I’ve eaten a lot of Indian food over the years, and this was well above average. Goat curry was decent, chicken tikka excellent, saag paneer had plenty of flavour. Enthusiastic service too. Thanks.
Had a range of dishes amongst five people and all were delicious. Strong aromatic dishes, balanced textures, and perfect naan bread. An ambitious number of seats in the table in addition to takeaway makes me wonder if the place is taking too much on .
The waiter with the manbun made my night! He was so genuine and you could tell he really cared about his job, even stopping to say goodnight to tables on his way out. He deserves a raise!!! The food was delicious as always too
Delicious curries and great customer service.
