This is a gem of a restaurant. Fresh and delicious food. The Bangalore Dosai was outstanding, as was the Palak Paneer. Everything we had was top quality and tasty. The trio of sweets was yum - especially the Carrot dessert which we hadn't had before. Service was friendly and prompt. A fantastic evening out.

This was my first trip to Amara Restaurant. Food quality is just brilliant with lot less oily/creamy than other Indian restaurants. Can recommend this to anyone.

The food was tasty and the recommendations of the waiter about variety and quantities were excellent. Most of the guests at our table were vegan or vegetarian and we found the choices great. I will be back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Amara Restaurant in Canberra, and it was a truly delightful experience! The ambiance is both elegant and welcoming, striking a perfect balance between sophistication and comfort. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel at home with their warm and attentive service, providing just the right level of care without ever feeling intrusive. The menu at Amara is a culinary journey, showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients crafted into beautifully presented dishes. Each plate felt like a work of art, with vibrant flavors and creative pairings that made every bite a discovery. I particularly enjoyed chettinad chicken and goat curry with garlic naan, which was tender and packed with flavor, and the vegetarian options were equally impressive, showing attention to diverse dietary needs. At last, the lentil daal just reminded me of home.
