True Indian Cuisine, Made with Perfection
There's nothing quite like the delicious fragrance of authentic Indian food, bringing you to the center of India with each morsel. Our signature dishes are traditional tandoori favorites, such as:
- Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken): An indulgent and rich dish, with tender, marinated chicken slow-cooked in a creamy, spiced tomato and butter sauce. The combination of tangy, sweet, and savory flavors makes this a crowd favorite, best served with our freshly prepared naan or fragrant basmati rice.
- Tandoori Chicken: Tender to the core chicken, marinated in yogurt and a blend of classic Indian spices overnight, followed by roasting in our antique tandoor oven. This dish offers a well-roasted, nearly blackened outside and provides an incredibly juicy interior as such, with having strong, fiery flavors.
- Fresh Naan: Our naan is made in-house by hand following ancient methods to produce a fluffy, soft texture with a touch of crunch. Enjoy plain old naan, butter naan, or garlic naan, all ideal for scooping up our rich and full-flavored curries.
These dishes honor the richness of Indian cuisine, perfected over centuries and made vibrant in Port Augusta.
A Fusion of Australian Ingredients and Indian Spices
At Standpipe Motel Restaurant, we pay respect to our food heritage and innovate. Blending the finest South Australian ingredients with genuine Indian spices, we provide an innovative modern menu, which features:
- Fish Curry: A light and aromatic dish prepared with locally caught fresh fish, cooked in a spiced coconut sauce that brings out the best of its natural taste. Flavored with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and turmeric, this dish offers a good balance of warmth and zest, presenting a great variation of a coastal favorite.
- Spear Creek Saltbush Bhutan Gosht: A modern take on the traditional Indian lamb curry, prepared with locally raised saltbush lamb, slow-cooked in a fragrant blend of cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves. It marries the earthy, full-bodied flavor of Australian lamb with the multi-layered spice of Indian food to create a rich, tender, and highly flavored dish.
