I’ve been meaning to try Chakra for a while, it’s one of those restaurants that keeps popping up in my newsfeeds, and I was intrigued by their modern take on Indian cuisine. It’s an impressive modern restaurant on the corner of Beaufort Street and Seventh Avenue, with tables inside and out, and gas heaters for winter. The fit out is very stylish, with low lighting and candles – lovely for a romantic dinner. We were warmly greeted by the manager who seated us by the window, and it was nice touch to have a place card set up for me.
*Rating is a 4.5*
Really enjoyable dining experience at this Indian restaurant tucked away on the quieter part of Beaufort street. Restaurant was packed on a weeknight (encouraging sign) but we had made a reservation (highly recommend). We were greeted & seated by polite staff and mini iPads with the menu were given to us to peruse. Staff patiently explained the menu & gave recommendations and we settled on:
- Butter Paneer kulcha (tasty)
- Pani puri paddle (nice, a bit harder to share though & a touch messy)
- Burnt aubergine with lamb (very good)
- Special pot set chicken biryani (delicious)
- Cheese & garlic naan (very good)
Little touches like the hand written welcome sign with our names, complimentary starter and a complimentary tasting spoon mid way made the experience different, fun and set them apart from the run of the mill Indian restaurants we are used to. Menu is modern/contemporary Indian with a twist on traditional dishes (but they still offer the usual butter chicken, paneer etc if you’re not feeling adventurous). Service was excellent with staff checking in on us at regular intervals, ambience of the restaurant was good & pricing was reasonable. Very much worth a visit.
Dishes were all delicious and generous in portions. Service was friendly. We dined to celebrate two birthdays and were surprised to find personalized cards on the table when we arrived. As well as a little gift. Lovely gesture indeed!
This place was fantastic.!! We tried 8 different dishes, all of which were amazing !!! The service was top notch and attentive with the waiter and the waitress being right there if we needed anything . You get given a small iPad with your menu to scroll through each which was pretty cool.
Loved it, looking forward to going back .
Great food. Separate vegan menu. Staff really put in a bit of extra effort here!
Incredible ! Outstanding in every way ! Highly recommended
I cannot recommend this restaurant more. The kind and lovely service was so amazing. They were constantly asking to ensure we were happy with everything. They even asked asked if it was a special occasion and to out surprise even brought out a special desert and candle for the birthday boy, as well as a gift, card and special hat for him to wear. The owners are a husband and wife team and you could not meet sweeter, kinder people. They were so lovely and caring towards the kids, made sure they were entertained and were even talking to them with such kindness. The service alone, and the attention to detail would bring me back to this restaurant. Thank you for the lovely complimentary treats you brought out.
The food was sensational! The presentation exceptional. Drinks were beautiful.
Well done on creating such an amazing restaurant and ensuring not only the food is exceptional, but also the service was second to none. You should be proud of what you have created. A stand out dining experience for sure!
Thank you for the extra attention to the birthday boy and the gift too!
All the best,
Sam

We tried a variety of dishes across their traditional and modern menu and everything was delish!
Best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. Options for vegan and vegetarian are also heaps. Presentation is classy. Most importantly, no color, no artificial cream etc. Pure indian feel. I felt light even after eating. Must try cheese garlic and khamiri naan. Also, Palak panir OMG.... Yummy.. totally different flavour. Well done. i am glad I found it.
What a restaurant. The curries here are delicious. In fact, everything here is delicious. Check out those beef samosas. Wow.
Great service. Great choice of beers. Highly recommended.
Dining at Chakra is a wonderful experience. Customer service is exceptional, and the food is divine. This is by far the best Indian I have tried in Perth. The fresh ingredients and spices really stand out, and no artificial colouring or flavourings are used. We dined here yesterday and ordered some dishes which we had never experienced before. Most dishes we ordered were vegetarian, apart from the wild caught barramundi, all were superb! Oh and the cocktails....amazing! Thank you to the staff at Chakra!
Christmas Day lunch special.
Excellent service. Attentive staff. Well planned 6course menu. Potato nest chat, duck bonda, pani puri very delicious . Chicken naan taco was tasty but found the naan slightly chewy. Dhaba style chicken dish was rustic and delicious . The eggplant and lamb main was salty but the staff happily replaced the meal with a less saltier version which was delicious. Desserts were the best part. All in all great experience.
Amazing Indian food. The best beef samosas I've ever had. And the fact you can choose your spice levels is a game changer. In Australia, curries are bland. Not here. The spicy butter chicken was a revelation.
Highly recommended.
Had an absolutely wonderful time at Chakra for my birthday dinner. The meals were all delicious, with some nice complimentary snacks and Panipuri shots alongside the meal.
We ordered the beef samosa cones, butter chicken, pot of Biryani (this was the favourite), mango lassi, masala chai tea and brownie with rose ice cream.
Staff were great, super friendly and courteous. They even offered me a small gift and prepared a hand written card for my birthday!
Highly recommend, we will be back for sure.
The food was outstanding, the service could not fault as they were attentive, explaining the different foods and flavours, I had the shot drink platters of which was enjoyable to drink, flavours yum, I had a wild caught barramundi with the most beautiful flavour, there was goat, briyani, butter chicken, and the entrees cannot even remember. You will need to go and try the MODERN INDIAN FUSION dinner. Thank you
Amazing customer service. Not a big fan of Indian food but this place had one of the best Indian food I've had and I will definitely go there again
Best Indian food in Perth, hands down. Ordered jackfruit-tofu parcels for entree, tried the pani puri shots with tequila, lamb-aubergine bharta and duck korma for mains and everything was impeccable including the service, quality, portion sizes, spices and speed. Went perfectly with the saffron infused Karma G&T and Guru amaretto cocktail. Highly recommend! As good as Michelin starred Indian cuisine I’ve had elsewhere.
