Unleash the Flavours of India and Australia at Standpipe Hotel Restaurant, Port Augusta

Welcome to the Standpipe Hotel Restaurant, where authentic Northern Indian tandoori flavours meet contemporary Australian cuisine. Since 1983, we’ve been proudly serving Port Augusta and beyond, delighting guests with a unique dining experience that blends rich tradition with modern creativity.

A Culinary Journey Across Continents

Our story begins with a deep respect for Indian culinary heritage, especially the tandoori traditions. But at Standpipe Hotel Restaurant, we don’t just stick to the classics—we reinvent them, infusing them with Australian innovation. This perfect marriage of flavors is at the heart of everything we do, offering our guests a chance to taste the best of both worlds.

Indulge in Timeless Indian Dishes

There’s nothing like the comfort of familiar, flavourful dishes that transport you straight to the heart of India. Our carefully crafted menu features iconic tandoori meals, like:

  • Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken): Creamy, rich, and fragrant, this beloved classic is a favourite among our guests, offering a smooth tomato and butter-based sauce with tender chicken.
  • Tandoori Chicken: Marinated with a blend of traditional spices and cooked to perfection in our authentic tandoor oven, this dish offers a smoky flavour and crispy texture that will leave you wanting more.
  • Fresh Naan: Made fresh daily in our tandoor, these soft, pillowy naan breads are perfect for dipping into your curry or simply enjoying with a sprinkle of garlic.

These traditional dishes showcase the magic of Indian spices and cooking techniques, perfected over generations.

A Fusion of Local Australian Ingredients and Indian Spice

While we pay homage to the classics, we also believe in the power of fusion. By blending India’s tandoori influences with South Australian ingredients, we bring you a contemporary menu that is both innovative and rooted in local produce. Some of our standout dishes include:

  • Fish Curry: A light, flavourful curry made with fresh, locally caught fish, simmered in a spiced coconut base that’s both aromatic and delicious.
  • Spear Creek Saltbush Bhutan Gosht: A contemporary twist on a traditional Indian lamb curry, featuring locally sourced saltbush lamb, slow-cooked in rich spices for a truly unique flavour experience.

This perfect blend of Indian tradition and Australian innovation brings something fresh and exciting to the table, ensuring that every bite is a new discovery.
