Feeling a bit uncertain about where to eat, I stumbled upon this little gem. I’m a fan of Asian cuisine and curries, so I was pleased to find it. The tandoori chicken was decent, though not the best I've had, while the Jungle Curry was fantastic—almost overwhelming with its richness. I also enjoyed a couple of beers from the nearby One Mile Brewery, which was a nice discovery. The service was excellent, and the food arrived quickly. Overall, a great experience!

This restaurant has a lot of charm! The food is excellent as well. The staff were extremely friendly. We learned that the building predates Cyclone Tracy, which is quite impressive, and you can really see the history in it. It’s also a fantastic venue for live music!

This restaurant has super kind, friendly and helpful staff. The interior was a lovely surprise and there are several sections with a different metaphor. Ours gave us plenty of privacy and opportunity to chat and share plates. We were hanging out for greens and fresh veggies and our meals had plenty of those. We ordered a Pinot Grigio from Venezia which proved pleasant drinking. Definitely a place to visit whilst in Darwin.

I was truly impressed! The live music created a lovely, relaxed atmosphere, and I had the best Irish Coffee cocktail I've ever tasted. It’s definitely worth a visit just for that drink. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful with recommendations.
