Canberra diners can enjoy exotic flavours at Darbar Indian on Lonsdale Street in Braddon. Step inside this light, airy restaurant with floor to ceiling windows and hanging black globes, and be transported to a land of bright colours and tantalising aromas. With a menu brimming with both authentic and modern dishes with a twist, perhaps start with zucchini flowers stuffed with a spiced mixture of bean, carrot, cauliflower and potato, fried crispy, or perhaps the bamboo charcoal tuna fish with mustard seed, pepper, garam masala and mint leaves will tempt the tastebuds. Bold appetites can delve into mains such as spiced soft shell crab served with dips, or juicy tender lamb cutlets, marinated in Kashmiri spices, roasted in a tandoor oven and teamed with saffron basmati rice and garlic naan.
