The place serves authentic Indian food and it has a very good team of people running the place and they exhibit great hospitality. The spices were just right and we could taste good quality ingredients throughout our dinner. Saves me from searching for an Indian restaurant exactly how I expect it to be during all my future visits to Hobart.

Most of the restaurants in the immediate area were overpriced, and this was no exception, but they delivered on the food anyway. The tangy sauce and cheesy, indulgent dumplings were a fine exemplar of North Indian comfort food. I could see trying a few other standard dishes if I were back in the area again to see if they were equally "magical".

It was a slow start after being seated then waiting at least 10 minutes to order a drink & our meal but they had only two waitresses & the waitress that served us explained she was new. Curries were divine. So flavorsome and nice & light. I ordered the Butter Chicken & my fiance a seafood curry with onion & tomato. My fiances arrived & it was extremely hot (we asked for mild) but the waitress was very obliging and took it back for a new one. All in all we had a lovely evening with great food & atmosphere. Would highly recommend if your after a lovely indian meal in Hobart

We went to eat dinner here last night and I have to admit the service at Annapurna was horrible…read more The wait staff forgot we were in the restaurant several times. They did not take our order for 20+ minutes and then when we had realized no one had taken our order, we caught their attention and they took our order. Then when it was time to bring our food out, they brought over part of our food and then by the time the rice came and naan came, the other food became cold. Their food in general was ok and it was nothing special. Don't waste your time going there and don't be fooled with the fact that this place is so packed / busy. Aussies just love Indian food, more than people do here in the United States, so everyone just goes there giving the illusion that it is good. Also it probably doesn't hurt that it is conveniently located in Salamanca where all the cool restaurants and bars are. I heard from lot of people that Bombay House is much better. But it is a $5-10 cab ride away and we did not get a chance to experience it.

Yummy curry dishes include rice and condiments. I recommend the vegetable pakora, three big cakes of fried veggies with a nice flavour. Both the naan and roti are delicious. They come with garlic, spinach, mushrooms, cheese or plain. There is a wide variety of dishes and a good ambiance for groups, couples or solo dining. I would recommend eating here or getting takeaway as the prices are slightly lower but still on par with other tourist spots nearby.

Great taste and good options for Indian food but is on the expensive side…read more To give perspective vegetable biryani was prepared as per my request for spicy food and I could see a lot of quality ingredients in the dish. Personally felt that this is the best taste I could get from an indian restaurant in Hobart. Portion was medium sized but even raita which comes stock standard everywhere with Biryani had to be ordered separately. It was good but not $20 good.

The fact that I stayed in Tasmania three days and ate here three times is indicative both of the…read morelimited options in town the holiday I visited, but also the fact that they were exactly what I hoped for. And being open around holidays is a virtue in its own right. They offer some Indian street foods and some (not especially Indian) soups. I found their channa batura a nice meal, their fries a delicious indulgence, and their lentil soup satisfying. Their location is interesting; a little shop next to the barracks in a residential area. Their prices are not bad at all. The diversity of their menu allows both the Indian food aficionado and someone who just wants soup to eat together. The food was probably four-star good, but when you consider the overall value, convenience, and family-owned vibe, I was quite happy with the place and would easily recommend it to anyone visiting Tasmania.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED…read more Gayle and I had some very nice meals in during are recent almost month-long trip in Australia. And we both agree that our Indian dinner at Amaranta Grill & Bar was the best. Everything was delicious and was one of the few Indian restaurants we've been where it was best to just point at a menu item and go for it. We started off with cocktails, Gayle's being an exquisite Expresso Martini and mine being a tasty Mango Lassi. After our meal choices were served, it was sparking water and Kingfisher beer after that. My main course was a dish called "Delhi Haat Chicken Kadai" and while Gayle's was "Hyderabadi Bhuna Gosht". Add some Garlic Naan and Premiu Basmati Rice, and it was quite a beyond delicious feast. Amaranta had more of a fine dining vs. family neighborhood vibe, with reservations encouraged. Service was professional, prompt, with maybe a tiny bit of translation challenge". It was a great "date night" out and one that Gayle and I would love to repeat if we ever find ourselves in Hobart again.

The following is my honest review of the Culinary King Indian Restaurant, in North Hobart, about…read morewhich I can attest you will find a kind family making delicious food; a family who truly care about your experience as their customer; their guest. I eat out, often. My expectations are high. I have eaten from several Indian restaurants in Hobart, many times over. Amongst the crowd, Culinary King serves meals that are better than most, and what makes them better is their "homeliness". The food is not perfect, nor is it the very best one can find, however it is decent and tastes good. The portions are plenty and the service is efficient, honest, and warm. My favourite dish thus far is the Lamb Biryani. Their Mango Lassi is the best I have had, without any exaggeration. Not too sweet, quenching, and rich. The overall experience at Culinary King is around a 3.5 out of five stars. I rounded my score to 4 stars rather than to 3 stars, particularly because of the outstanding homemade Mango Lassi. My recommendation to you is to try it, and when you do, ask for the owner's personal recommendation for a genuine Indian meal, and just go with it. Tell them that you would like to experience what it is to eat out in India; that you want the "real deal".
