Laxmi's Tandoori Indian Restaurant

In Glenunga, Adelaide, Laxmi's Tandoori Indian Restaurant channels the comforting allure of the tandoor with a menu that spans beloved classics and coastal favourites. The kitchen’s repertoire leans into depth and warmth, favouring gentle heat, layered aromatics and the kind of slow craft that lets spice, cream and smoke strike a poised balance.

Early bites set the tone: vegetable pakora arrive crisp and feather-light, while the homely snap of a samosa reveals a fragrant, spiced vegetable filling. These are the overture, inviting diners to linger and graze before diving deeper into the embers.

From the clay oven, seekh kebab brings minced lamb and chicken threaded with herbs and spices, tender within and lightly charred at the edges. Chicken tikka is vivid and lively, while murg malai tikka softens the mood with its yoghurt-rich marinade, all speaking fluently of fire, patience and precision.

Curries broaden the palette: korma beef, korma lamb and korma chicken luxuriate in coconut cream lifted by ginger and garlic, while malabari beef curry nods to the coast with aromatic spice and a silken finish. The mood is relaxed and convivial, suited to sharing plates and unhurried conversation as the evening unfolds. Gather your favourites, follow the spice, and book a table—there is comfort here worth savouring, right down to the last scoop.
