We settled for two specials of the day, Chicken 65 and Egg Roti, accompanied by eggplant and small, steamed rice. Our server suggested it may be too small a meal for 3 to share, but the quantity worked out perfectly. We enjoyed all but the egg roti, which was light and flaky, but we didn't much care for the egg in it. Our choices were mildly spiced for my taste buds, but my companions thought it was spicy enough. Unfortunately, 2 of our group pulled out at the last minute as one guest has an intolerance to chilli, garlic and pepper, and there were only very limited bland/mild options available, although the restaurant assured us, they would work to cater for her needs.

I always like the terrine, but the lamb ribs were a stand out last night. Chicken curry was high quality. The roti is always lush. Staff were exceptionally pleasant. Regret not ordering more.

We found the service wonderful at Ella. We ordered the Feed Me and didn’t feel like the food matched our expectations. There was very little meat. It was very vegetarian heavy. The pumpkin was undercooked unfortunately and it seemed like the vegetarian dishes were used to bolster or used as filler for eg two eggplant curries instead of an additional dish of something different. My suggestion for what it’s worth would be to not double up on dishes. People ordering feed me are wanting to try lots of different dishes, not more of the same.
Thank you for the lovely service. Your staff are lovely.

Service was excellent. Wait staff were friendly, professional, attentive, and helpful. We took a chance on the Feed Me and it was so worth it. Cocktails were on point.

We went to celebrate my husbands birthday and were so happy we did. It is the best dining experience we have had in Darwin. Our waitress, Judith knew exactly what to recommend and was extremely friendly and helpful. She made our dinner even nicer. The food was amazing and we will be back!

The curries were wonderful. The roti had amazing flavours and the sticky date dessert was lovely but I was disappointed in the Watalappan which was a bit dry. The front was great.

We had an outside table which was helpful for noise, and service was excellent - thank you Hannah.
Food was lovely but we had hoped for the various spices to come through. More mild and leant on coconut creaminess rather than spices for us.
Presentation was beautiful.
