Hanuman Restaurant in Darwin, located on Mitchell Street, offers a delightful fusion of Thai and Indian cuisine in a casual yet stylish setting. The open-plan space with high ceilings and Asian wood carvings creates an inviting atmosphere for diners. The extensive menu features a variety of traditional dishes that have been elevated to new heights, catering to a wide range of tastes.
Wonderful experience dining at Hanuman, Service was very good, food was delicious. The cost was reasonable. We dined with friends who were not so adventurous but try our food and enjoyed it very much. Thank You!

Great variety of food here although sometimes spicier than expected (not that its a bad thing). Great selection of wines and good service. Centrally located in the quieter part of Mitchell Street. Would recommend.
Sean B — Google review
A lovely dining experience. Great service, top notch food. The entire menu sounded appealing so I went with Hanuman's signature butter chicken. It was so rich and flavourful - the best butter chicken I've had in my life, full of spice and a rich sauce, thickened with ground cashew. The black rice brulee was a delicious dessert to finish on, with a nice crisp top and silky custard.

So we did our research and was recommended to visit this restaurant. And then asked the Indian Uber driver, and the hotel, and random strangers … and yes … this place is as good as everyone said. We arrived just before 6pm opening and there was a line up. What an amazing dinner. #hanumandarwin #indianfood

We enjoyed the banquet for two! The food was fresh and very tasty! The butter chicken was awesome! Some of the chicken in another dish was very dry but did let the staff know at the time. Staff were attentive and friendly. little things like drinks arriving after entrees could be improved. The ratings on this place were high so I had high expectations. I wouldn’t say it is fine dining as it’s appears to be advertised. Expensive for the experience you get compared to Brisbane or Melbourne.

We enjoyed two dinners at this restaurant. Chicken saté and Butter Chicken the first evening and Chili Chicken with naan and broccoli cabbage the second night. Both meals were delicious. Kind service, though a bit slow on Friday evening. Servers Kim and Marvin were very pleasant.

It had been quite a while since my last visit to Hanuman, and I’m delighted to say that the dining experience exceeded my expectations. Antonio, who served us that evening, demonstrated exceptional care and professionalism, providing outstanding customer service that truly stood out. The food was flawless in every aspect, confirming Hanuman’s reputation for excellence. It’s reassuring and impressive to see that after many years, Hanuman continues to uphold its high standards consistently.

I enjoyed the experience of dining at an expensive Thai/Indian restaurant. Menu had a wide range of choices which made it disappointing as a solo diner I could only pick an entree and main (no sampler item for 1 person) The food was delicious. The service was good but missed stuff like serving spoons, or aligning the desert with coffee.

Vietnamese restaurant
CHOW! A Taste of South East Asia is a vibrant and trendy restaurant located in the heart of the Darwin Waterfront Precinct. The menu features an array of Vietnamese dishes and creative cocktails, served in a cool space with a covered patio. The restaurant is known for its giant steaming bowls of pho, laksas, spicy beef with bamboo shoots, and legendary pad thai noodles.
A local colleague recommended this place for their Laksa and it did not disappoint. It was absolutely delicious. Fresh and flavourful. Friendly service and nice to sit outside.
Nicholas R — Google review
With the humidity hitting like a warm, wet hug from Mother Nature, we made our way to the wharf for lunch at Chow. We ordered a mix of banh mi, pho, duck pancakes, spring rolls, and—because balance is important—chips. Service was quick and friendly, so things were looking good. Then came the banh mi… the only dry thing in all of Darwin. Eating it felt like a personal challenge, like chewing through an edible sandcastle. Hopes were high, but reality had other plans. That said, food is subjective—maybe you'll love it, or maybe you’ll need a glass of water on standby like I did.
Rob — Google review
Great Atmosphere, food comes out fast but don't bother waiting to be served for dessert or additional food considering we where positioned right where the waiters come in and out and they could all see our meal was complete. Not a great first time experience, will not be back. We only waited around as it was my daughters birthday.

Fantastic spot with a great selection of Vietnamese and Asian dishes. The meal portions are huge - definitely designed for sharing between two or three people, which took me by surprise. I tried the Bo La Lot, Fresh Chicken and Veggie Rolls, and the Lemongrass Chicken - all were tasty, well prepared, and full of flavour. The cocktail list was impressive with plenty of great options to choose from. Staff were lovely, friendly, and genuinely accommodating. They were attentive throughout the meal and even took the time to explain how to enjoy traditional dishes like the Bo La Lot. Highly recommend for both the food and experience!

We have been twice in the last week - with polar opposite experiences. The first time was Wednesday 26/6 and it was a 5 star experience. The service was amazing, the staff were friendly and attentive and were popping back asking if everything was ok and if we needed anything else. Food was amazing and we loved our experience. We went back last night 30/6 and if it was our first experience we wouldn’t go back. The wait staff were rude and rushed us to order even though we arrived early and there were only a few other tables full. There was no plain rice ready so I was offered fried rice, but when it was brought out it was barely warm. Our meals were lovely, but sadly our experience was soured already so we didn’t worry about desert and headed off to get that else where. One of the neighbouring restaurants had live entertainment out front, but the staff at CHOW ! decided to put on their music and turn it up louder which made for a very uncomfortable dining experience. Overall I would possibly go back, but we were all just disappointed after last nights experience after such a great one a few nights before.

Night market
Mindil Beach Sunset Market is a vibrant hub that draws both locals and tourists alike, offering an eclectic mix of over 300 food stalls featuring global cuisines. From delectable Hong Kong dishes to Greek souvlaki, paella, burgers, and delightful desserts like ice cream and sorbet, there's something for every palate. Operating weekly from April to October, this market not only serves up mouthwatering meals but also showcases unique Aboriginal art pieces for those looking to take home a piece of culture.
I really enjoyed my 2 hours here and the Korean food I had, which was excellent, with lots of other national foods available. Certainly vibrant, and crowded, but parking was easy and plentiful, at least earlier in the evening. You can’t take a dog into the market, a shame but which is probably for the best as it was packed. The sunsets are fantastic to watch from here and even better from the vantage points on the dunes. It’s worth going to whilst on you travels
Paul S — Google review
A great experience, a good range of food stalls and an amazing sunset to sit and watch. I visited about 12 years ago and these markets seemed to be lacking craft stalls this time, however was a good local experience. We had ice cream and watched some people perform at the stage area which was lovely. Parking was really easy too

28 Sep 2025 // Back at the market before leaving Darwin tomorrow. We got there around 6 pm and spent about 20 minutes finding a parking spot—definitely come early if you’re driving! The Sunday crowd was much bigger compared to Thursday when we first visited. Tried the pork stick (AUD 6) after a long queue—super fatty, juicy, and very salty.. Also grabbed the garlic butter corn cob (AUD 9), and it was amazing! The vendor asked if we wanted salt, I said no, and it was still delicious. Highly recommend eating the corn while it’s hot! 25 Sep 2025 // Came to the market around 4+ and it was already crowded. There’s a wide variety of food — from Chinese to Thai, Mexican, Japanese, Korean and more. We settled for a kebab and a bowl of chicken laksa. The kebab was really good at AUD15. The flatbread was crispy, generously filled with chicken, and the mix of ingredients inside made it delicious. The chicken laksa was less impressive. Coming from Singapore, I found it weak in flavor compared to our spicier version. The Darwin version was sweeter, with a strong coconut taste. It had so much chicken that I could hardly find the noodles. For dessert, I tried the churros in the “must-try” Lotus flavor. It didn’t seem freshly made and wasn’t as crispy as expected. Lotus is definitely sweet — I probably clocked my sugar intake for the whole year with that dessert. I also got 10% off for paying cash at the Laska stall. Credit cards are widely accepted but come with a 1.6–1.9% surcharge, so cash is a better option, even though I usually prefer going cashless.

This is a must visit marketplace with really lovely views out to the sea. The markets are incredibly vibrant with lots of music, food stalls of all varieties and lots of knickknacks and artwork to purchase. Just wondering around the market was very nice and I can understand why this is one of the iconic places to visit while in Darwin.

I always visit the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets while I am in Darwin, as it is always a highlight for me:) The markets run every Thursday and Sunday from 4 pm to 9 pm, during the dry season which is late April through to late October. It does get extremely busy, so the crowds might not be for everyone. But the main attraction is the sunset. The view from Mindil Beach is pretty special; The sun looks bigger here as it sets right over the Arafura sea and you get that uninterrupted horizon. It’s one of those sunsets that really stops you in your tracks. Everyone claps when it is over because it is spectacular! There’s a great mix of street food stalls, local arts and crafts, and live music. I even saw people doing camel rides along the beach as the sun was coming down. Something to note – you can’t bring dogs into the market area, unless it’s a certified assistance dog. It’s a bit of a shame if you’re travelling with your pet, but good to know before you go. In July, the sun sets around 6.30 pm, so it’s worth getting there early to find a good spot, and get a good car park. If you’re visiting Darwin, this is a must-do – especially for that sunset.
Happy D — Google review
This is the most vibrant market I've been to in Australia. An abundance of quality food stalls, with cooking smells wafting across the site. Being able to sit on the sand and watch the sun setting over the water, as you enjoy your meal, is an unforgettable experience. Make sure to allow enough time to park, grab some food and get to the beach, so you don't miss the show! For those into arts, crafts, massage and face painting, you'll not be left wanting, either.
Rich A — Google review
The Mindil Beach Markets are a must-visit — and it’s easy to see why they’re one of Darwin’s top attractions. The atmosphere was incredible, set right by the beach with a stunning sunset over the water that truly added to the magic. There’s a huge variety of food stalls offering global cuisines — from American and Southern European to Southeast Asian and classic Aussie — alongside quirky arts and crafts, all run by local vendors. Supporting NT small businesses made the experience even more meaningful. Live music and whip-cracking demonstrations added to the entertainment, and for something a little different, camel rides along the beach are also available. Facilities were thoughtfully laid out, with toilets at both ends, portable ATMs, and plenty of parking (we Ubered there with no trouble at all). Prices were a little above average, but that’s expected in Darwin. All in all, we had an amazing time — it’s absolutely worth planning your visit around a Thursday or Sunday evening to catch this vibrant, beachside market.

A must do experience if you're in Darwin. Relaxed vibe of a top end market in the warmer drier climates of Darwin There are a lot of different food stalls to taste while you're here at Mindil Beach Night Markets. The freshly cut mangoes taste beautiful,

The warm and eco-friendly restaurant offers a remarkable dining experience with a focus on seasonality and sustainability. Chef Selvam Kandasamy's menu emphasizes local seafood and fresh produce from Darwin's Markets. Diners can enjoy a variety of curries, samosas, tandoori dishes, and innovative Indian cuisine while sipping on carbon-neutral beer.
I tried their butter chicken and butter nan and its really delicious. Nan comes with pure butter smell and the service was really great. While having dinner they asked twice how we’re going with the food which was nice. Amount of the food was good too, i have tried so many Indian restaurants in Darwin and at some point found out the amount of food and price was not exactly matched my expectations. Really nice and loved their lunch options as well with a very reasonable amount and price.

Clean, tidy and great ambience. Saffron team members are hospitable and serve with 😊. Flavourful food, reasonable choice in non alcoholic beverages.
SHIVIK D — Google review
We've been getting food from Saffron (both main restaurant and express as takeaway) for around 8 years. The prices have gone up markedly in the past few years, and the balance has tipped now that in my view the (admittedly very good) food is no longer worth the exorbitant cost. I appreciate that all restaurants have put prices up as costs rise, but Saffrron seems to have done so significantly more than most others. I now can't justify the massive cost of food from here, so eat elsewhere. Fortunately there is no shortage of similar good restaurants in Darwin which are more reasonably priced. If the Saffrron prices become more reasonable in the future (very unlikely I suspect) I will return, but for now I've moved on and won't be returning.

It's been a while since we've eaten here (normally get take out), but tonight was a bit of a special occasion so we went in for dinner, and it were delighted with the amazing flavours and great service we received. Definitely one of the top restaurants in Darwin for Indian/Sri Lankan cuisine.

I order one curry with butter chicken using Uber and the first thing I got pissed off was they didn’t even gave any cutleries or napkins. Besides, the rice was not cooked well and it was sticky. Talking about the butter chicken, I had never ate such worse one from any Indian restaurants in Darwin ever. I doubt if it was even fresh as the chicken pieces tasted stale. You guys used to be amazing, but this order totally disappointed me. Try to take care of these basic things which could have been easily avoided.

Entree: Oysters…presentation was lacking but they were fresh with a pot of very tasty garnish. And oyster forks!! Yay as even oyster bar didn’t provide! Chicken tandoori was very nice. Main: Bug tails with Penang curry sauce…Delicious! And a side of stir fried vegetables with Thai basil and Kafir lime leaves. Very enjoyable and keep it a secret from the tourists 🤣 Highly recommend.

This place is a Darwin must visit! The dishes are incredible. Well portioned and incredibly flavoursome. Good range of alcohol also.

Food was good. Korean fried chicken and small bowl of rice was expensive to my liking. The tempura eggplant was very nicely cooked. The kitchen did cater for my request to have one half of the Korean fried chicken in one flavour and the other half in another flavour.

Most honest three star review I've ever given. Beer selection was good, however the staff were not very informed about the selection they were offering. The venue and atmosphere was fantastic, suited to the food perfectly. It was the food that kinda dropped the ball however. Pork dumplings were very nice, cooked just right. The spicy seafood was something that we were all excited for but what we got did not get close to the expectations. It would have been barely worth the money at $10 less. Prawns (all 3.5) were cooked ten minutes too long and were harder to shell than a mud crab. Was more or less a plate of squid. And the crime here was the lack of spice which seriously was the one thing that I was expecting. Flavour was a little bit mild too. Chicken wings were cooked perfect, but thats the only thing done right. Pigeon wings in a kilo of batter with enough dipping sauce for maybe four of the ten on the plate. The batter rendered them flavourless and the sauce was there as a tease.. Actually the pickled veg was good too. Condements were par for the course. The other issue I took was the young girl looking after us had no energy and really struggled to understand what she was serving, even the drinks were above her pay grade. We jumped ship before desert and opted for some icecream from John's down the road.

Dumplings are delicious and you can have it for just $1 each for happy hour. The BBQ was good too,marinated beef, chicken and pork were tender and melt in the mouth. Just 3 stars because of the service, slow and rude, you don't feel really welcome. They had a fully booked restaurant and not enough staff to serve and clean tables. With the BBQ on our table the room temperature was not cold enough, we sweat a lot. The atmosphere is nice. Food: 7/10 very good Service: 5/10 need more staff to do better Atmosphere: 7/10 nice

Very happy and smily member I went there specially to try the chicken leksa soup which I heard about that they have the best chicken leksa soup and it was really good as expected We tried some more food as well which was so yummy and good. Their lemon ice tea was very good too. I will suggest to all atleast once u have to visit this place.

On Saturday afternoon, we visited Rendezvous Café. It wasn’t too busy, and we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who were very friendly. The café has a pleasant atmosphere and is kept clean and tidy. The service was impressively quick. I highly recommend trying the satay chicken with peanut sauce—it was absolutely delicious. The special fried rice and the combination dishes were also excellent. However, the seafood egg noodles were a bit too salty for my taste, and the seafood quality didn’t meet my expectations. Many people rave about their laksa. While I’m not a fan of laksa myself, it might be worth a try if you enjoy it. Overall, it was a good experience!

We were staying at the Hilton Darwin for one night and chose this restaurant for proximity to hotel and previous reviews. We were not disappointed. Lovely staff and fantastic food. It's BYOB but they told us that when we phoned to book so bought a bottle of wine to take with us. We'd definitely recommend this restaurant.

My partner lived in Darwin over 10 years ago and used to visit this restaurant all the time for the Laksa, at its old location. She wanted to bring me here for dinner and to enjoy the Laksa again. I had chicken and beef Laksa and it was phenomenal. Flavours were fantastic and the beef was so tender and basically melted in your mouth. Only in Darwin for a week but going to be stopping back in here for sure.

I ordered the won ton soup with extra won tons. When it came it had 4 won tons in it. I asked if they forgot the extra won tons- I get 5 won tons and an extra 5 at another place, which I prefer but they happened to be closed that evening. No you got your extra won tons was the reply- so I then clarified- so your WON TON SOUP only has 2 won tons? Yes was the reply!!! Absolutely embarrassed for them and won’t go again!!!!

Parap Village Markets is a popular weekend market featuring a variety of vendors selling clothing, crafts, and food. The market offers an array of tropical fruits, Asian greens, and fresh produce from Filipino, Tamil, Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese growers. It's known for its bustling atmosphere with live music and food stalls offering diverse options such as Cambodian rice balls, laksa, donuts, lemonade, and satay squid.
It has been 11 years since I left Darwin, and the only food I was craving was market food, and Greek food. Parap Markets was one of my favourite places to visit on a Saturday morning. So many fond memories. This market has the most delicious authentic food. From the fresh juices, to the famous laksas and paw paw salads, there is something for everyone. I highly recommend visiting these markets.

Parap Market is one of my favourites in Darwin. It’s open every Saturday from 8 am to 2 pm, all year round; but it’s especially lovely during the dry season. The weather in July is absolutely delicious; cool in the morning with clear skies, which makes it the perfect setting to enjoy a bowl of laksa or something fresh while walking around. There’s a great mix of stalls offering food from all over Southeast Asia, fresh produce, handmade goods, flowers, and local art. My absolute go to is the Popia; the spring rolls here are the best!! I also always get the Vietnamese pork skewers and paw paw salad—so yummy:) The smoothie and juice stalls are beautiful too; perfect for something cool and refreshing when it's starting to warm up. It does get busy, but parking is usually okay if you arrive early or don’t mind walking a little. Dogs aren’t allowed in the market area, which is a shame if you’re bringing your pup along—but good to know ahead of time. I don’t have many photos from my visits here; which says a lot because I usually take heaps—but I’m too busy living my best life eating all the food 😆 Highly recommend checking it out if you're in Darwin. I love it!

《Parap Village Markets》 If you’re visiting Darwin, Northern Territory, make sure to save your Saturday morning for the Parap Village Markets — one of the city’s most beloved weekend destinations. Open only on Saturdays, this vibrant market bursts with life, offering everything from international street food and refreshing tropical drinks to unique handicrafts and local artworks that capture the creative spirit of the Top End. It’s the perfect place to wander, taste, and explore, whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or spending a relaxed weekend with family. The friendly atmosphere and mix of cultures truly reflect Darwin’s laid-back yet cosmopolitan charm. Among the many tempting food stalls, one that absolutely stands out is HUONG VET MARKET STALL. Their BBQ Pork Banh Mi is, without exaggeration, the best I’ve ever had — perfectly grilled pork, crisp baguette, and a balance of sweet, savory, and fresh flavors that’s simply unforgettable. If you ever find yourself in Darwin, don’t miss the chance to experience this lively market — a true local gem that captures the essence of the Northern Territory. 🌴🥢🥖

One of the best village markets I've ever been to. What it lacks in size, it makes up in quality. Nice fresh produce, hot food like laksa, satay, banh mi and more. I highly recommend the satay stall and purple lady laksa. There are also juice bars, flower stalls and crafts, as well as plenty of nice cafes nearby.

Parap market is terrific for its diverse food stalls. Try the Laos salads, rice balls in a coconut sauce (my personal fave) or sweet pork on a stick. Lots of choices of things on a stick...all good 😋 Beautiful fresh cut flowers & many other stalls to browse. Oh & don't forget to grab an authentic Laksa from Mary's to take home. Fresh breads & pastries, sweet home made desserts..too much to mention. A must go when visiting the Top End 🤠

Thai restaurant
Darwin's culinary landscape has evolved significantly, moving beyond its traditional offerings of laska, steaks, and barramundi. The new wave of restaurant owners is dedicated to celebrating local produce by incorporating fresh ingredients sourced from the surrounding natural environment. Among these dining gems, Sa-Bai Thai stands out as a beloved choice for those cozy nights in.
My wife was recently working in Darwin for three weeks, and this restaurant became her go-to place for dinner. She was thoroughly impressed with the outstanding service and how attentive the staff were to her dietary needs. A special shout-out to Deepak Pudel for his exceptional service—he went above and beyond to ensure her special dietary requirements were accommodated. The meals were not only delicious but thoughtfully prepared, making her dining experience consistently enjoyable. Thank you for the warm hospitality and care!

Mellow Thai soon had diners after opening at 5:30pm on a Sunday and also had a steady stream of pick up deliveries. The staff were polite, friendly and attentive, promptly receiving the menu and water. I ordered the Pad Thai Combination with a sweet, rich sauce and plenty of chicken, beef and seafood. The seafood consisted of a prawn, one scallop, crab sticks and pieces of squid. The dish was a decent serving and tasted nice although the beef was slightly tough, but the dish maybe difficult to cook due to all the different protein.

The food is general very good, but the takeaway quantity is more than a little disappointing. This dish was around $20 and we received less than a container's worth of it. Will maybe avoid ordering from here next time. *I decided to give this a lower score as we received very small quantities for all of our dishes.

Busy atmosphere-full local Asian Cuisine. Service is busy yet friendly and efficient 🤩. Food was excellent with authentic flavours with the right amount of spice. The #Rendang beef had a delicious pre-prepared sauce and the meat could have been marinated longer to really absorb the randang flavors. Coconut rice could be stronger. #basil chili stirfry #porkbelly with vegies was awesome, the pork belly was flavour-full. The #tomyam OMG 😱 👍👍. To finish the mango #pinnacota was sweet, thick and refreshing. Great for date and social meeting dinners. Away from the main scene, lots of carpark, and popular with locals.

Ordered four take away tom yum soups for lunch through "rambha noodle bar" which is actually bamboo lounge. THE BIGGEST RIP OFF & disgusting. Online menu states $19 for combination (chicken pork beef) and was told I had to pay $22 because they "removed" the prawns?? The meat was old and tough as an old boot. I then did a review of "rambha noodle bar" only to be contacted and promised a gift voucher as a bribe to remove my online review. Will never eat from there again after this experience

You would think you are eating food from a high end restaurant in Sydney or Melbourne when you sit down to enjoy your food from Roast & Noodles. It’s honestly amazing. We wandered into the galleria on our way to the waterfront before Roast & Noodles opened for the day- as soon as I saw all the roast ducks hanging up I knew where I was getting lunch ! We ordered the large combos- one roast pork and one roast duck and we loved absolutely everything about our meals. The roast duck was amazing, absolutely beautiful and the roast pork was succulent and full of flavour. Chicken and corn soup also came with Kori meals and it was absolutely lovely, one of the nicest souls I’ve had in a long time, the flavour was incredible. I also ordered a serve of the dumplings, one thing I’ve noticed in Darwin is that fried dumplings are huge here- double the size of the ones we generally get back in Brisbane or from the Asian supermarkets, and the dumpling sauce is spicy and bursting with flavour. It’s a shame Roast & Noodle isn’t open for dinner because I’d be back for sure !!

Fannie Bay Gaol, a historic prison turned museum, operated for nearly a century and now offers visitors a glimpse into the region's criminal history. Surviving stone cells that endured Cyclone Tracy are on display, along with an infirmary added in 1887 and gallows used until the last executions in 1952. The gaol housed both male and female prisoners in separate buildings from 1928, with the female block featuring a small garden to occupy inmates.
This is an unexpectedly delightful attraction, and it's completely free. Although the site isn't large, the visit experience is excellent. At the entrance, a staff member hands out a map and kindly informs us that we can listen to an audio guide by scanning a QR code with our phones. The process is very easy, and we followed the suggested route on the map. Each room had interesting explanations, and the entire visit took about an hour. It’s definitely a place worth seeing.

David C — Google review
This is really a very harrowing place to visit. However, it presents the life of prisoners through a series of really well developed audio types which are very instructive and serve as a very necessary guide as you move around this prison. It has a very dark history and must’ve been an incredibly unpleasant place. It was Darwin's main prison from 20 September 1883 until 1 September 1979. In 1979 prisoners were relocated to the correctional facility located in Berrimah. Male and female prisoners were held in separate buildings from 1928. The female prison block included a small garden designed to keep the prisoners busy. An infirmary was added in 1887, which contained gallows used up until the last executions held in the Northern Territory in 1952. A watch tower, "native section" for Aboriginal prisoners, kitchen mess building, remand section and two maximum security wings were added during the 1950s. There must have been extraordinary suffering there and despite that those in charge of the current exhibition give a very accurate and confronting description of what life must’ve been like especially for aboriginal people..

Noodle House Mitchell is a popular spot for those seeking delicious Asian noodle dishes and wok specialties. The restaurant offers an unassuming ambiance with the option of outdoor seating. It stands out for its Chinese stir-fries and a variety of menu options, including traditional Thai, Indian, and modern Asian fusion cuisine. One of its rare finds is the Singaporean black pepper crab from the dinner menu, featuring local mud crabs prepared in five different ways.
We didn't know this place was here until a friend told us. There is a carpark just 50 metres, or if you are lucky ones just out front. They were very quick to serve us and the waiter had a great memory as he remembered 8 drinks at a time. The food was delicious. The toilets are not for disabled people, as not very wide and a step to get in. They had round tables for big groups, so you could talk to everyone. I found it a little expensive ( but isn't everything these days). We will definitely be going back again. I highly recommend the Prawn spring rolls and the sizzling Mongolian Lamb. There is in and outside seating. If you like my reviews please follow us around Australia......

Although this restaurant is called "Noodle House," it serves a wide variety of Asian dishes, and the menu offers many options. The mud crab has so many flavor options that it is hard to choose one. The mud crab is very fresh and tasty. The staff not only provided crab crackers but also thoughtfully offered gloves and aprons, so you can fully enjoy the delicious crabs without worrying about splashing sauce on your clothes. When the crab was brought to the table, its appearance, aroma, and flavor were all outstanding, even attracting a nearby diner who asked if she could take a picture. She ended up snapping several photos of the crab. It was an excellent dining experience.

6 of us went for dinner dine in, place was quite at that moment although it was a Friday evening. Ordered several dishes as we wanted to try their options. Unfortunately, the waiter heard Garlic prawns instead of Garlic oysters. Asked about the oysters and he replied you ordered garlic prawns. The dinner looked like Prawns party but we are still happy as the food was great. It would have been better if they could have noted the order correctly as it left us a bad taste.

Update: I've removed some stars because the most recent time that I visited Noodle House left me not wanting to come back ever again. We waited exactly 35mins at our table and not a single waiter/waitress took our order, they didnt even walk past us or make eye contact. We had reserved a table, and there were about 6 tables around us with people frustrated that their orders weren't being taken either. We sat at the tables outside - it appears to me that the indoor customers are highly prioritised, and the out-door folk get treated less-than. I have been noticing this practice getting worse over the years. We tried to get the attention of a waitstaff but they were just far too busy to even notice, yet they continued seating more people...only to not take their orders. I dont understand why they continued seating people if they couldn't even look after the current customers that were waiting for over half an hour. I stood up and returned the menu's inside after failing to get anyones attention, and walked out with my family to another restaurant down the road. The service has become so poor lately. The food is amazing, but far too overpriced; each year the food gets more and more expensive. Absolutely ridiculous for less-than average portions. Will not be returning again. This place has become an absolute joke. Again, to reiterate, it wasnt just my table that was waiting for over 30 minutes, the tables around us had been there much longer and still had their menus in their hands waiting for someone to take their order. Ps: these photos were taken over the course of a few years when I used to visit more frequently - back when someone actually took our order within minuites of us being seated.

Ordered a spicy beef ramen of which the texture of the noodle is wavy and springy as well as tender Angus beef and soft boiled egg.

The sushi is fresh and tasty, unfortunately the majority of the rolls we got off the train hadn’t had the seaweed paper cut so they were connected and it made for quite a messy eating experience. We ordered goyza and Karage chicken - both lovely, but the chicken pieces are huge again making it difficult to eat without making a mess or getting it everywhere. Service was ok, not fabulous but we weren’t being pestered and hounded to order more. Overall it was a reasonable lunch, not overly memorable or enough to recommend to someone who is seeking a good sushi experience, it’s fine for a quick bite to eat on the go and pricing is equivalent to higher end sushi restaurants in other cities.

The ramen taste was very standard, a bit disappointed with the noodle (not authentic, more like hokkien noodle in the broth). Well at least they have really good Curry!! I can say the curry taste was superb! If i ever comeback i will definitely order the curry only! Oh the meals comes pretty fast though. Nonetheless.. they have friendly staff. Thank You Chef 🙏

If you're on the lookout for a laid-back dining experience that feels like home, Good Thanks is your go-to spot. This charming venue offers a delightful mix of traditional American and Australian cuisine, making it perfect for those craving comfort food without any fuss. With a welcoming bar area, it's an ideal place to unwind with friends or family while enjoying their mouthwatering dishes. Diners rave about the juicy burgers—some even claim they're the best they've ever had!
Been here twice already and I’m sure I’ll make it a third time 😂. This is a fantastic spot, literally. I had the fire bird and sweet potato chips and it was amazing, cooking perfectly, amazing flavor, perfect heat and spice. Washed it down with some IPA hazy the mango infused one, wow!!! It went perfectly with my meal. And the customer service was amazing both times. Blue haired lady, beautiful and amazing and the blonde haired fella didn’t fail at all providing the information needed and service. Definitely exceeded expectations. I’ll be back...

I've been coming here for years and the burgers are absolutely to die for. I personally think they are the best burgers ive ever eaten...and im not even a fan of burgers. But these ones are just astonishing. Sorry the pictures look messy, the burgers are so big and juicy!! Highly recommend. We ordered takeout and ate them by the beach. The loaded fries are equally delicious. Highly recommend you try this place if you're into big portions, its definitely not Grill'd or Burger Urge portion, its bigger and totally worth the price

Great character and ambience, great burgers, service with a little friendly attitude to match with the clientele. Dont be deceived by the vegetarian burger ... It will fill you up. Good beef was Yum!

We had an extremely disappointing dinner experience. The chicken in the sizzler was undercooked (photo attached). Mistakes can happen, but the staff insisted it wasn’t raw even after we showed the visibly pink, uncooked section. The rest of the food chatpate and momo was quite average as well. Overall, our short transit in Darwin ended on a disappointing note and a trip to Maccas after spending $90+ here.

We had an amazing experience dinning at this restaurant. Food was great. Staff seemed very helpful and professional. Price was reasonable. I have been eating in many restaurants but I find this one very special. We had a booking for 10 but we ended up being 16, the staff accommodated all of us. We tried various items from the menu. Jhol Momo had authentic Nepali taste, and momo was juicy. Jhol of momo was average but really enjoyed it. Pani puri was mouthwatering, all of us enjoyed it a lot. Samos chat was perfect, decent size and reasonable price. Fish was amazing with noodles. Chicken Choila seemed very traditional and had the amazing flavours. Fried and steam momo were amazing too. All of us enjoyed every item that we ordered. The place has enough parkings and has vegetarian options as well. I really enjoyed the matka tea at the end. Thank you team for awesome food and amazing memories. Will definitely be back next time…👌👌👌👌😊😊

Asian restaurant
Laksa House, located in Stuart Park, is a must-visit spot known for its fragrant laksas and soups. The owner, Amye Un, a West Timorese refugee, has gained a reputation as the 'Laksa Queen' for her Indonesian-style laksa topped with beansprouts in a yellow curry broth. The restaurant's rustic ambiance belies its top-notch dishes and friendly service. Customers can also enjoy their meals in the BYO beer garden.
The Laksa is simply delicious. Ayme Un, the Laksa Queen, is a Darwin staple and household name. The restaurant is not fancy and served only one dish, when i went there .... Chicken Laksa ... but that is why it is so unique. If you haven't, go to YouTube and watch her videos. She is inspiring ... and oh, did I say the Laksa is delicious? Yes, it is.
Ronny S — Google review
Laksa House has a comfortably rustic charm about it, which reminded me of outdoor dining in Asia. Amye's laksa was incredibly tasty, with a real depth of flavour. The meat was juicy and tender. If I have any room left, I would have ordered some of her fried chicken, which I was assured by a fellow diner, is delicious.

Such an awesome place! Menu is simple tonight was chicken Laksa and it is one of the best I've had. Forgot to take a pic of the Laksa but if you like chilli oil give hers a go it beautifully rich, flavourful and caramelized, it's so sexy!! There's casual seating inside and outside under the open roof area.

Decided to try it tonight 6/9/24. Only 2 things were on offer Laksa or charcoal chicken so we had one of each. There's no service so to speak, you find a seat, order at the counter, pick up and pay. There are no drinks available to purchase not even water, at least we couldn't get any. The Laksa looked good and was plentiful but taste wise was just ok. The charcoal chicken was a quarter breast/wing and was ok, expected tastier. 50$ for both. Had better at the Mindil markets.

A memorable dining experience and the perfect way to wrap up our 5-day road trip from Alice Springs to Darwin! The mud crab with Singapore chilli sauce was absolutely delicious — cooked to perfection with bold, rich flavours. Presentation was equally impressive, complete with delicate carrot garnishes that added a touch of artistry. Combined with the serene views and warm, inviting atmosphere, the entire meal felt truly special. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. At $120/kg, the price is on the higher side — likely due to the prime location — but the quality, taste, and presentation absolutely justified the cost. As a lovely bonus, we also received $20 off for posting this review. Highly recommended, especially for a special occasion.
Helen N — Google review
Overall, wasn't a bad experience. The staff were friendly and service was pretty good. Location was really nice, great spot for a sunday evening dinner! Unfortunately the food quality vs price is where it fell over. We ordered the sizzling beef, honey chicken, pork dumplings and 2 serves of steamed rice. Both the mains were tasty, but nothing amazing or different. The dumplings tasted good but were quite dense (only got 3). Steamed rice was very close to being under cooked, nearly crunchy, and may have been sitting out for too long as it was very dry. Perhads I should have tried the crab or something but went for the more standard options. Certainly not saying the food was bad, but for the price vs what you get. A local Chinese shop does the same stuff but cheaper.

I wanted to share some honest feedback regarding my recent visit. I purchased a small rice and curry, but the portion size was extremely small—less than what would typically be considered a kids' meal. This was quite disappointing, especially since you’ve done much better in the past. I work in Gateway and often come by for a quick bite, but the service and portions lately haven’t been consistent or up to the standard I’ve come to expect. I hope this can be taken on board, as I’d love to continue supporting your business—but only if the value and service

Indonesian restaurant
Nestled at the end of a bustling plaza in Darwin, Sari Rasa is a hidden gem that shouldn't be overlooked. This charming café, set within an Asian grocery store, transforms into a lively spot during lunchtime as locals flock to enjoy its delicious offerings. The menu features mouthwatering dishes like chili beans in coconut sauce, grilled eggplant, and flavorful white fish curry. With generous portions and prices that won't break the bank, it's no wonder there's often a line out the door!
Hands down the tastiest food in Darwin. Always a line up and the locals know where the food is excellent. Indonesian spicy and a variety to even suit vegetarians. The service is always served with a smile. Love this place !

Sari Rasa, located on Bagot Road, is a hidden gem that delivers authentic flavour and great value. Widely regarded as one of the best halal Indonesian restaurants in Darwin, it offers a vibrant selection of curries, meats, and vegetable dishes. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and the service is fast and genuinely friendly. If you're craving authentic Indonesian food that's full of flavour and cooked with heart, Sari Rasa is an unmissable culinary stop.

Massage therapist
Healthy Care Massage Casuarina offers a delightful escape for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. Visitors have enjoyed various treatments, particularly foot reflexology, which seems to vary in quality depending on the therapist. One standout is Dan, who brings his sports physiotherapy experience from overseas into his practice here. The staff are not only friendly but also possess backgrounds in health care or health sciences, enhancing the overall experience.
It’s good relaxation foot massage and back neck shoulder. Stuff are nice and polite, I saw comment after finished massage. When I talk to them I found stuff was totally changed. They all have health care or health science background So I recommend it.

I have been a few times for foot reflexology and I think it all depends on who does the massage on what rating I would give. The last massage I received was from Dan, very young but extremely good as he had sports physio background overseas and is now studying here to complete his Australian qualification. Highly recommend ask for Dan!

Disappointed, made me pay $50 up front for 30 mins. I asked for head, neck and shoulders but recieved a neck and shoulder, fast and rough massage.

Lagoon Day Spa offers a luxurious experience with its Native White Flannel Flower Ritual, which many visitors find to be two hours of pure bliss. The spa is known for its beautiful and clean facilities, as well as its friendly and caring staff who provide top-notch treatments. Guests rave about the skilled therapists, such as Ali and Pip, who offer amazing massages and facials that leave them feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
Amazing experience, probably the best spa experience I had so far. I’ve indulged in June special package after a quite stressful period in my life and being physically unwell. All products were high quality, the facility was immaculate, the personnel was experienced and the outdoor shower as a part of treatment felt so liberating. I walked out feeling renewed. Using the lagoon pool and a cheeky cocktail was an added bonus afterwards. Highly recommend!

Two weeks ago my sister and l had a two hour treatment. Facials and full body massage. It was amazing. The vibe of the Day Spa was so refreshing from the moment you entered and peaceful. The attendants, Anna and Pippa were excellent and very professional, and beautiful products used. Was the perfect start to my stay in Darwin and could not recommend highly enough. Would even go so far as to say it was the best l have had and look forward to returning when back in N.T.

I indulged in the Mother's Day Special, where all my worries were taken away during the two hours. My day spa therapist, Ali, was very welcoming and had me at ease straight away. She knew exactly what pressure I needed when giving me the back massage. The ambience and aromas were a feast for the senses as I drifted into another space of relaxation, peace, and serenity. The combination of a back massage, facial, and foot treatment were just divine. I left feeling like a new person. I would highly recommend the Lagoon Day Spa for a little self-love and self care. You won't be disappointed.

I went here once when they first opened, found average Thai food. Recently they've changed ownership/management, and is now run by Vietnamese. The menu is mostly the same from all appearances, but the primary difference now is that they offer Pho. I tried it once a month ago, and was gobsmacked. Great pho, and in a convenient location for lunch (I work in the CBD). I regularly eat the pho, as do others I work with. Apparently it's their biggest seller, I'd recommend they change their name to Pho Hut! Can't comment on the rest of the menu, but it looks like standard Asian/thai takeaway, not particularly inspiring

The flavours textures and food was on point, made with quality ingredients and crafted with care from a chef who obviously knows what he's doing. Friendly staff that were helpful in making suggestions when making my order and just a clean cosy atmosphere. Would recommend. They have a nice selection of exotic cocktails to try to which was something different.

Sliding doors moment. If not to stop to look at a building opposite, the bossman wouldn't have had an opportunity to invite us in. Absolutely one the best laksas I've had. The heat in it was spot on, for me, and the sauce, noodles, and pork was divine. The duck pancake was also the best. I'm not normally a duck eater, but this was cooked just right. My wife can only have GF and that was no issue. Lots of options. Just moved to Darwin and this is on the list of local places to visit and visit and visit again.

Yum! Service was friendly and inviting. Restaurant had a nice feel a decor and playing recent music with nice table settings. The siu mai and wontons were so goooodd!!!!! Honey chicken was also battered, seasoned and cooked deliciously with a great tangy sauce. The fried rice and Mongolian lamb were a good serving size but lacked depth and I would skip the Barra next time. Would come back and order heaps of entrees as they were good 👍

Had their soft shell crab (entree), Peking duck three ways (poultry), kinto pork spare ribs and spicy salt squid. The soft shell crab was okay. The legs were good but as you keep eating to the main body, you can taste a really fishy smell that not even the dipping sauce could cover. The Peking duck three way was amazing. The pancakes were warm, the duck meat was good (though the skin could be crispier) and the sauce was amazing. The duck soup is really nice to drink. The duck fried rice is what you would expect of a normal fried rice. The kinto pork spare ribs is the star of the dish for me. The ribs were fried to perfection and the sweet tomato sauce goes so well with it. Would definitely recommend this. The spicy salt squid is the star of the dish for my partner. I loved it too. I'm glad it had a slight kick to it as I couldn't see much chilli on it and thought it was going to be a plain salt and pepper squid dish. Overall fast service despite being full house. The waiters were friendly too.

Love Lazy Susan’s. Have visited a few times for dinner; the food is always fresh and tasty, and the service is top notch. Today we visited for Yum Cha (Sunday brunch). We booked a table at 11AM (booking is advised). Thoroughly enjoyed the brunch experience, food was delicious (as always). Highly recommend the Spicy Salt Squid and the Fried Wontons. Also loved my coconut crushie (natural), if you want a non-alcoholic drink; it was very refreshing after walking around in the heat. Looking forward to our next visit! Thank you.

Our full experience at Ruby's the first time ensured we would be back during our week stay in Darwin. Appreciated the freshness and flavours of the food served and the kitchen accommodating our preference for a little more 'heat' in our green curry. Our second visit reconfirmed our previous dining experience there ... although we still had the dilemma of what to choose from the extensive menu, which I would describe as Asian fusion rather than specific Vietnamese cuisine. The professionalism and friendliness of the waiting staff should also be acknowledged.

The atmosphere is calm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for those who appreciate well-prepared comfort food. While some diners noted a preference for white onions over red and suggested more herbs to enhance their dishes, the rich flavors truly shine through.
Visited this lovely little restaurant on a Tuesday at 8.45pm. They accepted us even though they were closing in 15 mins (9pm) whilst they were extremely busy which I appreciated greatly. They warned me about the 30min wait and I am glad I decided to wait because it was so worth it! If I could give them 10 stars out of 5 I would because the food was simply delectable, flavourfilled and made to order so it came out piping hot. I ordered the grilled chicken rice paper rolls and the rare beef and ball noodle soup (Pho). My rice paper rolls were made with fresh ingredients that burst with flavours while my Pho had such an intense deep broth that came out smelling divine and tasted even better. The family that run this business really are so sweet and hard-working. In a busy street full of food options, this little place stands out the most to me. I will be visiting them again before I leave Darwin and recommend them highly!

I will say that the entire dish we had was very delicious, but once getting to main course it wasn’t the same pleasant experience. We know people have different preferences for spice levels and green curry’s are normally a bit spicy, so for someone who likes a bit of spice we still asked for mild. I could not handle how spicy this dish was to the point where I couldn’t eat anymore because I felt sick (and I hate to waste food). I know this can’t be managed that well even if requested, but the dirty glasses that we could not drink out of and the hair we found in the rice was not the best end to our evening.

We visited this restaurant after hearing great reviews, and we were not disappointed. The ambiance was great, with comfortable seating and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, and they made sure that we were well taken care of. We started with crab and corn soup and steamed oysters with ginger and shallot. The crab and corn soup was more of a chicken corn soup with very few pieces of crab meat. However, the oysters were delicious, and they were some of the best I've ever had. For mains, we ordered steamed barramundi with vegetables and small seafood fried rice. The barramundi was cooked perfectly and the serving size was generous. It tasted great with the garlic sauce. The fried rice was decent, but it was not as good as the barramundi. The staff were lovely and warm, and they were always willing to help us. The price was a bit higher than other Asian restaurants, but it was worth it for the quality of the food and the service.

Speed and service was a 5/5, but the food is quite expensive for it being oily and subpar; vegetables in the stir fry a little raw, and just not a worthwhile satisfying meal. I finished my meal regretting I had gone here. For future reference, next door inside the Mercure there is an awesome poolside bistro which is much better.

The best meal in Darwin! After spending a week having average meals, we finally found an amazing feed at Loong Fong. We shared hand made dim sums steamed, prawn toast, satay sticks, Mongolian beef, Szechuan chicken and pork and black bean. All were a taste bud sensation yet the Mongolian beef was a stand out along with the chefs satay sauce. I was traveling with a qualified chef and food reviewer, and both gave the chef their thanks. Even if you are a local, this place is worth a trip to the airport to experience. Along the pool at the Novotel.

Great service! The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient. The food was good, but it was quite standard. While everything was prepared well, it didn't stand out or offer anything unique. Still, a solid choice for a reliable meal.

I went there for my yearly birthday dinner. The service was great but the food was not very good. When ordering I asked for the wings but they didn't have them even though it was on the menu, therefore the substitute was pork which was pretty bad. I also ordered the spring rolls which were strangely watery inside but the waitress asked if they were greasy. Again not a good choice. My main dish was the orange chicken which was unevenly cooked where the larger pieces were doughy (not cooked inside). Definitely not impressed and will never go back again. The best part of the meal was the bottled sparkling water. The next day I went to Happy Garden for a tenth of the price and I was very happy. I really was expecting better food. The strange thing was the questions from the staff like what exactly did you not like. I felt like a guinea pig for the restaurant which I paid $70 bucks to be experimented on. Dragon Court you must do better.

This is situated within the Casino and is very cosy. Best to buy just a few dishes and share them amongst a group which we didn't realise when we dined. It was $200 for 4 of us with drinks and we didn't finish all our food. The service was a little slow, we had reservations, but stood out the front for about 5mins waiting for someone to seat us (maybe some CCTV feeding into the kitchen from the front door or a bell might be a good idea?). Would go again, but order less next time.

A group of seven friends had a delightful dining experience at Oka Teppanyaki, a Japanese restaurant they visited for the first time on Friday night. The ambiance was excellent, and the chef/owner ensured that their evening was personalized and memorable by warmly greeting them and remembering some of their names. The entertainment provided was exceptional, resulting in lots of laughter among the group. The food itself was superbly prepared with fresh ingredients, offering delectable flavors that left everyone satisfied.
Frank was a fabulous host and José the chef is a master! We had a 5 course feast of fish that we had caught and it was cooked and prepared to perfection! Can’t recommend highly enough. You don't get this service and care back in Sydney!

It's a unique experience with table side food prep (and quite a show). You can pick two meats and the chef tosses and chops and flips it all on the table grill in front of you. He throws food your way, so be prepared to participate and be a good sport about it. The food itself is pretty good. The meal comes with fried rice and vegetables, salad and miso soup.

OMG - this place is amazing….OKA operate a catch and cook service for fresh fish you catch, and they served up seven of the most incredible fish dishes for amazing value per head _ sashimi, tempura, caramelised onion, teriyaki, steamed fish, and chilli fish, great value and great hosts/chef - was an outstanding experience, sadly not able to consume all the food in the end! Will return next time in Darwin for sure. make sure your fish is fresh and you have a group to enjoy - it’s a great experience.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere at OKA Teppanyaki was electric — warm lighting, upbeat vibes, and the tantalizing aroma of sizzling goodness set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Our chef was not just a culinary master but a true entertainer. The teppanyaki show was full of flair — flaming oil, flying egg and rice bowls that had us laughing, clapping, and completely engaged. It’s not just dinner — it’s dinner with heart and a touch of magic. The food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite of steak, and seafood was cooked to perfection right in front of us. The fried rice was savory and buttery, the vegetables crisp and flavorful, and the sauces? Chef’s kiss. Portions were generous, and every plate was as beautiful as it was tasty. What really stood out, though, was the feeling of connection — not just with the food, but with the chef, restaurant owners and our fellow diners. You can tell the staff love what they do, and that love shows in every flip of the spatula and every smile. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just craving something fun and delicious, OKA Teppanyaki delivers. We’ll definitely be back — and bringing friends!

My family and I visited OKA Teppanyaki on a Friday night, having booked in advance. It was an incredibly fun experience, especially for our children (ages 6, 5, and 4). We ordered the Kids Set for the little ones, and two sets were more than enough to fill them up. The owners were very attentive and ensured the kids had a great time. The chefs were playful and engaging, which the kids enjoyed just as much as the food. The fresh sashimi was exceptional, and it's a must-try. I ordered the OKA set, while my wife and in-laws opted for the two meat selection. The table was filled with an abundance of fresh, fast, and delicious food. I also enjoyed the sake, which my father-in-law thought was excellent as well. The overall treatment we received was outstanding, making for a memorable night out. The combination of great food and an entertaining show ensured that even our young kids had a fantastic time, allowing us all to enjoy the evening to the fullest.

I don’t get it. 1 hour wait for takeaway. This wasn’t clearly communicated either as it sounded like 15mins so were surprised to hear about lengthy wait for food. Don’t come here if you want food quickly. Seriously. Even the busiest of restaurants generally let you know clearly when there is a 30 minute wait.

Happy Garden is a Chinese eatery that caters to both casual and formal dining needs.

The prices for their generous portion sizes are reasonable, and the food is flavorful. The medium-sized servings leave no wasted space as they are filled to capacity. Although the chop suey was slightly overcooked, the rice was fluffy and mildly sweet without being overly salty.
Full portions well priced and flavorsome. Medium size was filled to the brim with no wasted space. Chop suey a little over cooked, rice was light a little sweet and not trace of salt noticeable, finally the spicy pork was in a thick soybeans paste. Recommend during visit at Parap Market.

Order tasting menu food which was $23.90 got charged $24.11. Waiting time was 30 plus minutes. Food was average. Expensive pricing as per the food and service. I order chicken dish but they gave me lamb curry instead of chicken. Luckily my partner did not take first bite because she never tried lamb before and she is allergic to lamb. Took the food back to the lady (boss lady) and told her this is not chicken and her reaction was normal as if nothing happened or it happens all the time there 🤔 She just took the food away and gave me Chicken curry and no sorry for the mistake😡 Very bad customer service and will be never coming back and don’t recommend it to anyone.

Horrible food. I don’t think it is Indian. It’s Nepalese and horribly cooked. Soaked in excess oil.. Every item has excess sugar in it. It almost felt like I was having a sweet dish instead of savoury. You can make spices feel less spicy by adding sugar. Yuck! Don’t recommend.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. This is definitely not managed by Indians, they would be from Nepal or fiji or some other country trying to pass of their food as indian food. The quality of food was anything but nice. I felt I was having sugared curry and even he garlic naan was sugared. They better off selling their food as dessert with the amount of sugar content in everything. If someone wants diabetes served on a platter go here. If someone is diabetic don't go here unless you have a death wish. I recon don't go here period. Go elsewhere, lots of good choices around. Highly recommend the Mexican place across.

We ordered 20mins later then the first item on the table was chicken skin, it was so old, over cook, no taste and not even hot as well. So made us more confuse why it need to took 20mins for a not even warm dish. Then the main course come at the 30mins the Crsipy chicken was dry as well. And the fired egg was coming late when I almost finish my dish. Steam chicken was fine but why did not cut it probably and coriander was old as you can see in the picture. Final the curry fish fillet noddle soup was the worst experience we had ever have curry soup, night market was far away better than Papparich. Last the restaurant of ceiling light was keep twinkle, so bad when you dining indoor and the light just like broken and no one noticed that. Inclusion, I won’t recommend to visit Papparich in Darwin.

This is by far the best Thai restaurant in Darwin. Fresh produce and consistently delicious. We've ordered take away repeatedly for the past 10 years and they have never disappointed us. Dining in is also a great experience, with the staff attentive, professional and friendly. Personally, I love their Tom Yum and papaya salad. Also the Beef Penang curry and their Green curry are magnificent. Crying tiger is to die for, which is one of the chefs recommended dishes.

I waited 50 min for my order to come through. Multiple takeaway orders coming in and out prior. They tried to serve the main before the entree. I specifically said no msg and I'm left with a reaction after eating the main. My back hurts after sitting on wooden chairs with no seat cushion or lumbar support. The entree itself would have impressed me more but you can't enjoy food this way especially such a bad atmosphere and no token of apology for waiting this long. No care for the customer

We are regulars born and bred in Darwin. We usually order 1 chilli garlic barramundi one normal and one with no oyster sauce and fish sauce as we have always done. We have only had this experience with Thai Thai once before where we were given basa but charged for barra. Last time, they replaced the meal. This is the second time we have been given basa despite me confirming it was barra. As someone who is unable to eat basa for religious reasons, I'm extremely disappointed and am sad to finally say goodbye to Thai Thai Casuarina as this experience left me devastated. You may be able to fool tourists but don't mess around with locals who know their fish.

Have been twice now and ordered the chef’s special fishes dishes. Three sauce fish and chilli and garlic fish. Fish cooked appropriately both times. Both times the sauces were very sweet. The chilli was minimal and the garlic/ chilli obscured by this overwhelming sweet sauce. Neither had any of the wonderful Thai aromatics. Serve sizes are large.

The Thai beef salad and krao pao were very disappointing. Both dishes were far from the authentic flavors one would expect, to the point where it was hard to even recognize them as Thai food. The seasoning and balance of taste were completely off, lacking the signature freshness, spice, and aroma that make Thai cuisine so distinctive. Unfortunately, these versions missed the mark by a wide margin.

I am very disappointed with my recent order of 5 plain naans from Indian Curry Paradise (via Uber Eats). I specifically ordered plain naan, but what I received were mostly butter naans, with only one that looked plain. This is misleading and unacceptable. The quality was also very poor. Some pieces felt like leftovers from the previous day — dry, tough, and not fresh at all. The sizes were completely inconsistent; some were very small, others larger, showing no standard at all. In fact, this is not the first time I have faced issues. My last order also had naans that were completely burnt and inedible. When I pay $32.50 for just bread, I expect fresh, properly made, and consistent food. Instead, I am being given low-quality and misrepresented items. If this continues, I will be forced to report this matter under the Australian Consumer Law (through the ACCC and NT Consumer Affairs). Customers have the right to receive the exact product they order, and food should meet basic quality and safety standards. I strongly urge the restaurant to take this feedback seriously. Stop selling stale or wrong items to customers. If the same issue happens again, I will escalate this formally with the relevant consumer protection agencies.

I am writing to formally complain about the poor service I experienced at your restaurant. I had placed an online order about 30 minutes before arriving at your restaurant. However, when I came to pick up my order, I was told that I would still need to wait another 20 minutes. This delay is unacceptable, especially since the order was placed well in advance. To make matters worse, the owner also told me that I would have to continue waiting even longer. I felt very dissatisfied with this response and the overall customer service. I kindly request you to take this matter seriously and ensure such delays and unprofessional communication do not happen in the future.

Bloody good Chinese food Juicy and crispy Roast pork delicious so was the sweet and sour chicken The service is really good, very friendly The prices are fair, almost every main dish is 20 bucks and they are massive portions I highly recommend this joint for either takeaway or dine in. It’s a classic Aussie Chinese joint that doesn’t disappoint.

Very good local Chinese restaurant. It is located in the casuarina region in the suburb of jingili. Take the bus from casuarina to airport and stop at Puma petrol station. A little walking distance. Family run business, manager is very friendly and witty, staff are nice, food is delicious. Popular takeaway food. Nice simple humble setting with tasty dishes. BYO licensed. Good for a date night.

Just average level, order three different dishes and the taste are similar, it’s like spend triple times of money and enjoy one dishes.

Ordered take away today was disappointed 1. $20 or more advertised free delivery... no driver so couldn't deliver... false advertising 2. On line menu said $20 for sweet & sour barramundi but was charged $22 as was told price had gone up and website not updated... false advertising 3. Said food would take 45mins but took an hour....unsatisfactory 4. Ordered 2 dishes but one container was smaller than the other... wondering why. Also mentioned not too much cauliflower or broccoli but the mixed veg was full of cauliflower 😞😓 as in photo. The sweet sour barramundi had only a limited amount of vegetables as well 😞😓 Don't think we will be going back there and will not recommend either.

Went here with some friends for dumplings and it was sooo delicious. Can't believe it has taken me so long to find this place. The dumplings tasted so incredibly fresh and delicious. We had a mixed plate of fried and mixed plate of steamed. The different types were different shaped but i was unsure which was which so each mouth full was a lucky dip with such great flavours. The thick chilli sauce paste (which the owner told me was made in house) was amazing and took the dumplings to the next level. Will definitely be going back as love dumplings.

We came here on previous reviews that said great food at a great price ... this was not so!!! We bought medium dumplings and pork buns that were so tiny, i would hate to see the small ones!! There would have been a flat teaspoon of filling in the pork buns as well! It boasts of fresh ingredients, which may be so, but there was hardly any flavour! Also bought a main dish, which again no flavour and a stingy small portion. Not great food and very expensive for what you got! We had to go and eat again elsewhere, as at their prices, for what we got, would have broken the bank before we had our fill!!!! Avoid!

Small serving, wraps was said to be fresh and hand made...but was hard and tasted old. Even rice was hard too...how do you mess up making rice? Maybe a bad batch , ill still go another day and try it again but my experience was just bad. Ill update this review next time i visit.

I gave 5 starts just that my review could pop up on the top. I order Uber eats starving to death was digging into my food and found housefly in the sauce while dipping. This is just unacceptable. I was disappointed as hell, when spotted that in my food. Guys it’s not about making money from food. I almost puked.

Sa-Bai Thai Takeaway is an incredible establishment for takeout, offering delectable and genuine dishes. Customers have the option to personalize their orders, specifying their desired level of spiciness and omitting any unwanted ingredients. The stir fry range is particularly noteworthy, with each dish being superb in its own right. The service provided by the staff is pleasant, and the owners are exceptionally friendly.
Epic Thai food, so light flavourful & delicious in simple setting. Warm friendly service & aircon inside for those hot nights. You may need to book a table if you want to dine in as it’s very small. The ginger soy Barramundi was a stand out!!!! Yum

Secret Menu : Soft Shelled Crabs. You won't find it on the menu because it's secret. Just ordered it from uncle. I am a regular, and I have a few dishes that I always order in rotation. This is definitely my top 3 favorite. Try the soft shelled crabs. Thank me later 😉 . Sawadeekha 🙏

Friendly efficient service, busy take away, venue clean, car park at front. Beef salad was excellent, flavoursome and enough grilled beef. Tom yum (yum yum yum) delicious not too salty or spicy, coriander. A bit small for date, and great for fast feed.

If this was open for breakfast, lunch and dinner…. I would eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. By far the best Thai I’ve had in Aus. Small place so difficult seating, but it’s fast turn around because all the locals know what they want… it’s become apart of the normal life routine. The service is great, that Asian friendly type. Go Chelsea…. I mean Liverpool.

Korean restaurant
Zzan Korean is a fantastic venue near the marina that offers a delightful setting to enjoy the changing weather. The cuisine is delectable, especially for those who make wise choices. The vegie bowl with optional spicy pork, accompanied by rice and a fried egg, is a satisfying and complete meal. Additional rice or vegetables can be ordered at an extra charge if desired. A variety of beers are available both in bottles and on tap, along with mixed drinks.
My favourite restaurant!! Not too sure on what dish to start.. The kimchi soup is amazing. Full of flavour and fresh. I'm absolutely addicted to their boneless chicken with sweet chilli sauce. The pork dumplings are the best I've ever had and I can't wait to try their bibimbab (if I ever get past the kimchi soup) We order regularly and it's always amazing. Even the chips are the best I've ever had
Caroline C — Google review
Good venue by the marina, nice place to sit and watch the weather roll in. Delicious meals for those who choose well - I lucked it in with the vegie bowl with optional spicy pork. It came with rice and a fried egg, a complete meal for me. Others had to order extra rice or vegies if desired..at extra cost. Beers are available, in bottles plus a few on tap, as well as mixed drinks. Not sure about wines and ciders. Regular customers would come here for good food, relaxed atmosphere and the waterfront dining experience..not 'fine-dining'. Plenty of parking available nearby, but it's in a popular area at popular times. It fronts the marina, not the street, but easy to find if you look.

It was a new experience to try the Korean menu and we were not disappointed with the food. The idea of a bbq at the table is novel and certainly cooked to our liking the slivers of marinated beef, chicken, pork belly and a good variety of vegetables. The little gas bbq played up at first but once fixed, did the job nicely. The service was a little slow but it was a busy Saturday night. Although the bbq items were brought to the table promptly, a second dish we ordered afterwards did take a long time to come. There is no dessert menu but there is a delightful icecream place just around the corner where we purchased cups of icream beads. They were a delicious end to a very tasty night!
Susan F — Google review
Food was enjoyable, but very overpriced for what you get. Wagyu didn't taste or appear as wagyu either. Would have expected rice to be inclusive being a Korean/Japanese fusion restaurant & when paying $50 per person for a very small "banquet". $3 per serving is very steep for steamed rice. Still a relatively new restaurant so there's bound to be some teething problems. Might visit again down the track but there would certainly need to be some improvements first. Hope you guys can work on these issues and improve. Service was very friendly, cannot fault the girls who were working hard to wait on a full outdoor area. I also think it'd be wise to create a drinks menu. Usually the first thing a lot of people like to peruse and decide.

What a let down! Firstly, staff are rude. Secondly, The place is absolutely filthy! Dirty grubby seats and tables and their door so grotty. Imagine how unhygienic their kitchen must be. Lastly, The food was absurd. Bbq pork was literally dehydrated and hard. I had to force my partner to eat it as he doesn’t like to waste food. The Sweet potato noodles just awful it just tasted like mouthfuls of oil. I’m Korean and I can make more authentic Korean food than this place. Save yourself time and money and avoid this place at all costs. This place needs a health inspection by authorities asap

Wish there was a button for zero stars. I ordered the Korean fried chicken and chicken katsu fir $72. What a disaster. !!! Even my dog could not eat it. The chicken was dry and no flavour or salt. We had to wait a long time to pick up the food when they had said 20 minutes and it ended up being 45 minutes. I ate a little of the disguisting food and I started getting sick. I literally had food poisoning. The restaurant doesn't even look like they can pass a food code inspection from the department. Please stay away !!! Never again

The Asian stuff is kindly 🙂 But.. I don’t think this is Korean BBQ. ($49 per person and minimum two people) What we could eat is only spicy chicken 🐔 If you come here for enjoying BBQ outside,, maybe good hah The taste .. I want to put one star..

The cafe offers a wide range of halal options, ensuring that it caters to diverse dietary preferences.

I absolutely loved the Nasi Kuning (Yellow Rice) here! The tempe asam manis was so flavorful, and the beef rendang was tender and delicious. The sambal was spicy enough, which I really enjoyed. The dish is definitely worth the price. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves authentic Indonesian food. They also served Nasi Lemak, Jack Fruit Curry (Sayur Nangka), Chilli Fish, Chilli Egg / Eggplant (Telur/Terong Balado). Everything is all halal.

Don’t be put off by the location you MUST go here while in Darwin. Crispy fried chicken is the best I’ve ever had. The clear chicken soup was awesome as was the Nasi goreng. All cooked fresh to order. Beautiful friendly service. The seating area would be the perfect retreat on a hot day so nice and cool.

A very relaxed food court Ayuriz is the only Indonesian restaurant in the complex. Tried Nasi Remis, a combination of dishes, delicious overall. Tempe was slightly spicy, beef rendang was soft and not spicy and the chicken was fried and a little dry. Sufficient beef randang sauce to mix in the rice. I felt and left full and content. A must try.

Nonna Dumplings is a hidden gem in Darwin, Australia, run by authentic Taiwanese people. The restaurant offers delicious handcrafted dumplings, including xiaolongbao and chives dumplings that are described as authentic and tasty. Customers praise the piping hot and rich flavors of the dumplings, along with the amazing dipping sauce that enhances the overall dining experience. The restaurant's cute atmosphere and fair prices make it a must-visit for dumpling enthusiasts.
One of best soup dumplings I ever had, very authentic Taiwanese flavor, great portion with a reasonable price. We only stay in Darwin 2 nights and I’m so glad I hit this place twice for lunch, everything was just so delicious. Sometimes it look like a long waiting line but they actually serve food very quickly. The staffs were also very friendly, not sure when will I ever have a chance come back to Darwin, but highly recommend this place if you’re in this area.
Jerry H — Google review
Steamed buns and prawn fried dumplings are delicious. What surprised me was the braised pork rice as it didn’t look extremely appetising but we stilled tried it and it was really delicious! Balanced flavours of subtle savoury and sweetness, the grease in the pork fat has been cooked out of the flesh, making it non greasy at all but just juicy. The pan fried buns were sold out when we went in so couldn’t try that unfortunately.
Madeline Y — Google review
The dumplings--as you'd guess from the name and other reviews--we're really good! We ordered the fried kimchi dumplings and the steamed pork dumplings and both were delicious, the dipping sauces were very good. I think I liked the fried ones a little better.

Hands down the best dumplings in Darwin — a must-try if you're new to town. Everything is freshly made to order, and it is absolutely worth the wait. The steamed bun dumplings are delicious, and the prawn dumplings these are best enjoyed dine-in for the full experience. Friendly staff and always busy, which is a good sign. Open Monday to Friday from 10:30am to 5pm, and Saturdays from 10:30am to 2pm. Definitely one of my favourites to eat at. Photos don't do this store any justice.. I just couldn't wait to eat them, chilli sauce is great aswell.

I actually thought I'd already reviewed this place as I've certainly been here and loved the food quite a few times. In some ways I'm glad I had not as I ordered something unusual today and got the most delightful surprise! O find thst the dumpling serves here are quite generous and it's easy to over eat so today I ordered the 7 dollar house soup. Gosh what a discovery ! Seven bucks and you get a flavoursome little bowl of joy! What really makes it is the rib bone 🍖 with succulent flesh on it. A wonderful light meal indeed! I'm beginning to think you really can't go wrong here . So far I've tried maybe 70 per cent of their menu and every single thing has been fabulous. It can busy here at lunchtime and in the afternoon they sell put of things but one thing is for sure. The quality and freshness is guaranteed. There's a reason so many Asian ex pats dine here. Quick friendly service!

10/10 would recommend this to anyone in Darwin looking for a good dumpling. Their xiaolongbaos are better than some of the best store in Taiwan. The filling was plenty and there was a lot of broth inside the dumplings. The braised pork rice also taste authentic, actually taste like a lot of the ones in Taiwan. Definitely would come back and have it again whenever I can

We visited Nonna Dumplings after seeing so many rave reviews—and they truly lived up to the hype! We tried a variety of items: their signature chives dumplings, flavorful kimchi dumplings, juicy pork bao, limited edition dumplings, and of course, the classic Xiao Long Bao. Every bite was delicious, but our family favourites were the Xiao Long Bao, signature chives dumplings, and the limited edition dumplings. Each one was packed with flavor, perfectly wrapped, and tasted absolutely heavenly! If you’re a dumpling lover, Nonna Dumplings is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back for more.
