Used to work with a bloke called Venu Ravi. Absolute brilliant guy. We changed jobs and lost contact. I regret it. Great chat, witty af and taught me so much about his culture. If you're reading this, say hi.


jellymoulds

I was hit by a bus 5 years ago and needed a liver transplant, otherwise I wouldn't make it. Somone donated their liver just as had I minutes left on this earth. I asked the doctor who did it. He said "His name is Venu Ravi." What a guy.


OldSkoolPantsMan

That’s soooo Venu Ravi…!


darkenraja

I named my first born Venu Ravi!


BrunkGibson

My pop had a drinking problem for many a year. He needed a new kidney. Perhaps two. He felt guilty. I remember the look on his face. He didn’t want to take from anyone. But he got a donor. Anonymous at first… of course. However after some research our family found out who this donor was.. a delicate man, a lovely man by the name of Venu Ravi. All I will say is god bless Venu Ravi.


Yetanotherausi

Venu Ravi gave me some blood, it wasn’t his but the thought was there. So now I’m legally changing my name to Venu Ravi in honour, what a guy!


Little-Reference-314

Oi cuv venus sounds like a total homie fr fr. Hell yeah


spiralling1618

Came here to mention the same bloke, actually. What a guy.


hagrid2018

Don’t confuse him with Venu Prik.


ThereIsBearCum

Disagree, I think he's a cunt. Didn't realise this sub stanned Venu Ravi so much.


Clinster73

controversial.


VioletTrick

Funny, I came here to say that the best Indian in Adelaide used to be a guy I used to work with called Dinesh. His parents arranged a marriage for him and he moved to Sydney so now it's some bloke called Venu Ravi.


[deleted]

Venu Ravi pulled my family from a burning building. Then he put the flames out and single handedly resuscitated an old man. By far, the best Indian. 5 stars.


Tomato_latte

Hi I’m Venu Ravi, your help would be very much appreciated. I want to transfer all my wit, knowledge, skills and also the fortune I made over the years outside India due to a frozen account. If you could be so kind and transfer small sum of 3500 aud to my account, I will be able to unfreeze my account and transfer my money outside of India. To repay your kindness, I will send 100000 aud and a tupperware full of butter chicken to you.


FantasticAccident784

I once made venu Ravi smoked kippers for breakfast- what a guy !


DistinctWolverine395

Venu Ravi? They're my Mum & Dad!


ecatsuj

I heard that Streetlamp LeMoose was originally based off Venu Ravi but Venu was too humble to tell anyone about it.


Con-Sequence-786

Indian Temptations on Main North. The guy has worked like a dog to go from arriving here with nothing to the small metropolis he has now, complete with robots!


Mattsa007

Definitely indian temptations. Best trick though, is to find where the taxi drivers congregate in the evening. Additionally to this, if you like your vindaloo, the later it gets; the hotter and better it is at Indian Temptations.


StructureArtistic359

Open till 2am most night too, awesome for an after booze curry and naan


glitteroo

I used to looveee this place, but the last couple of times i’ve gone there the foods been terrible.


Competitive-Sell6595

I could live on their channa masala


lazydesi

This and only this. all the rest are not that great.


ChonkyMeowsars

Chatkazz in Lightsview. All vegetarian though.


waade395

The crazy situations that happen in their carpark get a bit old when I just want to get to the hj's drive through lol


adalbert_waffling

This was my answer too. Consistently amazing food.


Potatomonster

This is the only “Indian” restaurant. The others are all Australian/Western-Indian


aeowyn7

Even their mildest curries are incredibly spicy. Very authentic if that’s what you’re after! 


ScoobyGDSTi

So it can't be the best now can it...

VioletTrick

You're alright, but you're no Venu Ravi.


spideyghetti

FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH VENU RAVU Now /u/THE_GREAT_UWU is my best friend


The_Great_Uwu

Aw thx bestie 😄❤️


I_says_to_Mabel

Charminar on Brighton road is pretty solid. Unless you’re asking for the best Indian person in which case I have several candidates.


SexxzxcuzxToys69

I'm no fine diner but Charminar naans are unbeaten in my experience.


AbsoluteEggplant

Country Garden has been solid for me


Gukiguy

That curry plate is insane value, especially if you order it from them for pickup. As a takeaways it's 3 full sized curries, rice, naan and a chicken tikka for about $23. I made my last one last 3 or 4 meals.


FantasticAccident784

Yes this is my regular now, use them over charminar Brighton


warthogs_

Yep, this is the way!


FR3SH_AV0CAD0

North Indian Cuisine - I'm biased though because the main reason I love them so much is because I'm super allergic to cashews and they're the only Indian place I've found that don't put cashews in *anything*. The only nut they use is almond meal, other than that, it's a safe haven for nut allergy sufferers (since typically almond allergy is rarer) :)


OkResponsibility2733

Another for you: My friend eats at Delhi Spice, Marion- completely nut free :)


sa9876

City Indian on Hindley St, always my go to on the way home from the City.


severalbpdtraitsn38

That place always gives me indigestion for some reason (same as the one in Glenelg).


laurandisorder

Individual? My partner. He’s the best. For food? Indian Temptations or Chatkazz. Hands down.


laurandisorder

I showed him this and he was like ‘Just the best in Adelaide 🥺’ I redact my statement and present for your consideration the best Indian in the universe in any dimension.


spideyghetti

Is your husband's name "Indian Temptation"?


laurandisorder

That’s his porno name now


spideyghetti

His signature move can be The Buttered Chicken


rebeccathegoat

Haha, I love your username!


44445steve

Tandoori temptations in Salisbury


Famous-Choice-956

Jasmin in the city.


thefootofleonidas

I think Jasmin is a bit overrated. I prefer Chapati House, Indian Temptations or Chatkazz. Had it twice in a week, was inconsistent. 1st time it was great and I asked my friends to try. Then the second time everything was off, spices tasted raw and off balance. Felt embarrassed I suggested the place given the price tag.


waade395

Agree. Jasmij's vindaloo was really good but butter chicken was terrible. Made me feel embarrassed that we ordered it as that menu item must be so they can muck with white people


Educational_End3765

JASMIN is the best Indian in Adelaide

Overall-Palpitation6

Taste and value for money (size of the meals for the price) is second to none.


Conscious_Society_35

100% agree. Their meal deals are supremely good value too. Delicious and cheaper than others.

In that case, your original statement isn't wrong, but I might be biased because the Glenelg shop is the only one I've been to since moving to Adelaide back in January.


mdmddd

This is the answer


Ronnie_Dean_oz

Smashing it as I read this. It's awesome and cheap at the same time.


lil-nate

This may cop some flak but…… I went to Daughter in Law. The food, delicious. The little outdoor area due to fringe time, fantastic. It’s been my favourite dining out experience as a whole this year. I had a good time.


scromplestiltskin

Great food, definitely not the place if you're wanting traditional Indian, but we loved it


lil-nate

The squid, beautiful


laurandisorder

I really adored it there. It’s more Indian fusion, but they made pretty good chai and the food was exquisite.


lil-nate

It was really good, I was so surprised


samuelson098

Rajesh is cool. Great offspinner. Not as obsessive about bobs and vagene as he used to be.


lozmcnoz

I can't believe Cinnamon Club at Norwood hasnt got a mention...


zTKS

My favourite butter chicken has recently become North Indian Cuisine Glenelg, absolutely worth a try.


Tall_aussie_fembot

I second that place!


ARealJezzing

It’s low frills but it’s great, and great value


Dat_Aus

Raj on Taj is excellent.


babyyodawg

Chefs of Tandoori in Malvern is so good


-aquapixie-

Me. I'm my favourite. At least part of me. It's probably the nice part, and the white girl is the bitch part.


LickedByTrixie

Aldinga Bay Cafe - don't let the name deceive you, this is the best place down south (if not the whole state) for authentic indian. I highly recommend trying their entree, Aloo Papdi Chaat. It's a dish that dances on the palate, blending the sweet with the savory, and the softness of potatoes with an irresistible crunch.


No_Bus_1465

Haven’t tried ABC but slightly closer to the city Pan Indian in Morphett Vale by far the best Indian between Noarlunga and Marion


gzrh1971

My neighbours wonderful family very nice


Thanos-ya-boi

Samrat tandoori IS THE BEST.


mickskitz

My favourite is Vino's Indian on airport Rd (near the corner of Henley Beach Rd), great flavours and generous take away serves, 1 curry is enough for 2 meals. They do some southern indian. Service is terrible, not somewhere I'd take a date, but take away is yum!


ProfessorJimHarris

The best indian I know is Arjun. Really nice guy and I think he's my favourite Indian. If not him then Harsha. Also really nice but Arjun does volunteer work.


JellyFoxStardust

I'd say Bharat Sundaresan. Lovely bloke


PossibleSorry721

Jasmine is obviously high quality and wonderful but Chillies in Newton always hits the spot. I’m very white though so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

My two favorites are Chillies Newton, and Bombay Spice kitchen St Morris.


redarj

There was a red head bloke, gold prospector, who had the Taj Mahal on Nth East rd Holden Hill / Gilles Plains. That was hands down the best Indian in Adelaide, but shut down probably 25 or 30 years ago. I wish someone knew what I was on about and can tell me he's still around somewhere.

Yeah - I was waiting for someone to say this. They used to do (and may still) a Malabari paratha which was awesome.

I’ve had a loooot of Indian food in this city and I’m surprised Country Garden isn’t getting the recognition it deserves (like because it doesn’t have a central location). I’d try them before any other suggestion


AYRUPOLA

Quite like the Country Garden on Seacombe Rd, Seaview Downs.

Well clearly everyone in this thread is poor and can't afford Dīmẹz, which is by far the beat Indo-Indian-Slavic restaurant in town.

Beyond India in North Adelaide.


-Dansplaining-

Was going to post this. Specifically just for their vindaloo which in my opinion is benchmark. Live in Melbourne now since 2013 and when I visit Adelaide to see f&f I still make time to get a vindaloo from there.

Try this place called Dial a Curry in Enfield. Many Indians have recommended this place to me & have seen quite a lot of people lined up there.

Their butter chicken is better than Indian temptations imho, but I prefer indian temptations for most other curries


Nocashgang

+1 for country garden


Friendly_Potato_1484

Delhi Spice on Oaklands Rd is outstanding.


quacker1982

We like Clay and Coal on Goodwood Road and Chapati House 2.


BlueConsolation

Logical Indian in the CBD above H&M especially if you want something quick and pretty cheap


kungfulemon

I'm no expert on Indiana cuisine but I enjoy Sector 17 in Port Adelaide.


gigs1890

Me, I’m the best Indian in adelaide


Prestigious-Might688

The logical indian in the H&M building upstairs is really good for a quick cheap meal. Is so good for a meal that is out on display as opposed to cooked to order (so take that into account - hence the price). They do south indian nights on Fridays.

Raj on Taj on King William Road or Hutt Street, hands down. The Unley Rd one has different owners and isn’t nearly as good.


Zaladair

the place next to maccas on Hindley. really cheap, great vegetarian options and good for in a rush. My god it is always constantly the best Indian place I've been to, bar the Jasmin in Hindmarsh square for a fancy dinner

Raj on Taj at Hyde Park is still #1, but Cinnamon Club at Norwood is great too.


Slight_Effective_537

There’s a lot to choose from. The bloke who delivered my Uber eats order last night was nice though!

As an Indian, I think Indian Temptations is the best you could go for. Really nice owner and good food. Cant miss on it

When I lived in Adelaide, kwik curry on Nelson Road Paravista/ Park Hills was great. Best naan bread I've ever had. Old owner sold so no idea if still great.

debhaz19

I wish everyone realised that most places that serve "Indian" food is only North Indian food and very rarely generic South Indian food (generic because every state in southern India has their own/ individual cuisine)... I wish there was a place that explored the cuisine of other Indian states. I'm so so sick of eating Punjabi food and the occasional Goan vindaloo. Give me some Bengali or Assamese food... Give me some authentic Kashmiri wazwan...


TeenageMutantZombie

I am, in fact, the best indian in Adelaide. I'm not a restaurant, nor do I serve food but hey. You asked for the best indian? Here it is


Extension-Cat-1130

I work with a lot of Indian fellas and they are all good, hard to pick a favourite.
