Jasmin Indian Restaurant

I can’t express how amazing this restaurant is. The food was absolutely phenomenal and the service went above and beyond anything you’d ever expect. My dad and I came here during our 2 night stop in Adelaide on the first night and decided we didn’t want to eat anywhere else when it came to the last night of our trip. We’d both like to thank all the staff for their generous hospitality and especially Lee whose knowledge and charm made it the best restaurant experience I’ve personally had in any restaurant in Australia. You can see why they’ve been open for so long! Can’t wait for my next trip to SA now!

We were looking for somewhere close to our hotel for a quick dinner on Saturday night and saw this place just around the corner. The entrance is a bit of a secret, a doorway leads downstairs. We were not expecting much but my goodness how wrong we were. We didn't book but were quickly accommodated by the friendly, smiling host. The decor was restrained but appealing, the food was delicious. As we enjoyed our meal, what stood out was how the host greeted each guest, welcoming each person as if they were old friends and family. If you are even in the city, it's worth finding this gem, on the Mall side of Hindmarsh Square.

entrance to the restaurant is not too obvious, you have to go down flight of stairs after locating the correct door. however the ambience inside is cozy. service is quick and friendly. rice is fluffy and fragrant. lamb curry lacked a little more spice. aloo gobhi is nice but not outstanding. overall a pleasant meal but taste wise nothing exceptional.

I really enjoy going to this restaurant. Being underground it feels a bit like stepping into a speak-easy, with low lighting, dark wood decor and art on the walls. The staff are outstanding, they really add to the warm atmosphere. We’d popped in early evening without a booking and they were able to squeeze us in on a busy Friday night. The food is excellent and the wine list is well matched to the dishes.

Had a great time at Jasmin Indian Restaurant. Nice place to have lunch at the city. Upon arrival greeted by very friendly Leigh. Food was excellent- had Chicken Tikka and Egg Paratha. Restaurant was neat and clean. Highly recommended. Will visit again next time. Thanks again to all team members for the yummy foods.

Amazing food and ambience! We’ve been coming here as a family every year for the past ten years—maybe even longer—and it never disappoints. You just can’t go wrong! Thanks for yet another memorable experience, as always.

This was an amazing dining experience. The staff are very welcoming, but so are the beautiful surroundings featuring artwork by a first-rank artist. But I digress from the food which was of the highest quality, intensely flavourful, always balanced, never overpowering. The tandoori chicken and lamb was the best I have had, likewise the fish curry. We first visited this restaurant decades ago, and it is no doubt its quality, charm and elegant surroundings that will ensure many happy returns.

We booked this restaurant looking for a loverly Indian food night on our Adelaide night stopover. The food amazing 👏👏 if you love a good Indian nosh up!! This is the place well done Singh family & staff. Back again Gather round a beautiful lunch good food& staff great Sheila& Staff thank you JeffAndyRosSue 🍷 🥂

Jasmin is Adelaide's quiet achiever in Indian cuisine. Family operated for 32 years, they have won dozens of awards for their food. You realise why when you try it. The main dining room is in a basement off Hindmarsh Square. The surrounds are elegant, avoiding any kistch Indian decorations in favour of large artworks of local artists. It is not uncommon for Jasmin to be booked out on Saturday and Sunday, so it's safest to book for your number. While it is on the pricey side, it appeals to diners who love good quality food and wine. The wine list has over 200 options, as well as a good range of beers, spirits, aperitifs and dessert wines. The banquet is a great option, and I recommend it to friends. It consists of five or more entrees, and another five or so main meals. It means you get to try a range of dishes, when it's hard to choose just one. The prawn sambal is always a stand out, but (and I sound like a typical Westerner here) my favourite is the butter chicken. But no, really, it's amazing! They spice it differently, so while it's not hot, it's full of flavour, and the pieces of chicken are enormous and juicy. Every time we go there, there has to be some butter chicken on our table. If undertaking the banquet, when the small bowls of curry come out, you think you've been jipped. Try getting through just one, and you're filling up. Then add the several types of naan (the best are the blue cheese naan and the standard cheese naan) and papadums with chutney and raita, and it's rare to see anyone get through the entire banquet. You groan when the dessert menus come around, though it's worth ordering a coffee or tea, just for the delicious hazelnut/chocolate slice that come with it - one for every table member! I was disappointed that their chai is not authentic, but it's still a nice blend of tea, and a great way to finish an enormous and very tasty meal.

This is the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to outside of India. I got the lamb korma and it was outstanding. My buddy got the chicken tindaloo and it was one of the spiciest dishes either of us have ever tasted. The naan was also quite good and they have kingfisher beer. The atmosphere is somewhat on the fancier side and the staff is attentive and friendly.

THIS is a great restaurant. We came for a late dinner after a dance performance and were treated to a wonderful array of Indian cuisine. Excellent service and food that is so good it's impossible to pick a favorite dish...but I'll try. Tandoori mushrooms. Blue Cheese Naan...a beef dish that's not always on the menu ( kind of a secret dish) that was insanely good. Definitely for all fans of Indian cuisine...and for those wanting a more adventurous version of Indian Food.

Have been here numerous times and this is by far my favourite Indian restaurant in Adelaide. Was recommended to me by people who have been coming here for years. They have a wide range of authentic Indian dishes for all tastes (and 'spiciness'). We typically get the 'feed me- hungry' deal so that we can have a bit of everything and are never disappointed (or left hungry)! Excellent every time, would highly recommend!

One of the best Indian restaurants we have ever eaten in. The tandoori mushrooms starter was excellent. We then shares chicken masala and a curried vegetable dish. Both excellent! We would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food!

A shangri-la of epic treats and exquisite service awaits as you traverse the steps into the Jasmin. It has all the charm of a Parisian café, the quiet uncertainty of a turkish opium den and the hospitality clout to rival any decent restaurant in Adelaide (perhaps Australia...?) I like it as spicy as possible and the chef here knows how to pack a decent heat punch in the curries. However the heat never takes away from the quality of the meat and veggies served. The standard indian fare is as far from standard as is possible. Absolutely smashing entrees including onion bhaji amd samosas with the lime green mint dipping sauce sets the perfect scene for an astonishing main, be it lunch or dinner. The wine to go with the epic feasty treats is always served with such skill you wouldn't even know there's a waiter there. ..and that's certainly true after a couple of bottles. If you can find the entrance (haha!) I would say you can't go wrong getting in on this higher end indian treat. I will keep going here as long as they keep it spicy!

Amazing Indian! Went there with the bf for our anniversary and it was just perfect. Great ambiance, brilliant food, great service and amazing wine list. Definitely a winner for a special occasion.

Pricey + Average food=Poor value. Most shocking was a single gulab jamun with a few bites of ice cream for over $10. I've been to a few Indian restaurants since and never has the gulab jamun been more than $5 and that's for more than one ball! (Tasted just as good, too) The naan was also half the size of naan at most other restaurants I've been to (though it cost the same). It's obviously trying to see how much it can charge based on the awards it's received. The mains we had were OK. Not too impressed with the palak paneer or butter chicken. I'm sure you can find a place that's just as good, but with better prices.

Everyone ends up at Jasmin at some time. It's one of Adelaide's most well known and well regarded mid-range restaurants, serving slightly up-market Indian Cuisine. Prices are above average, quality is above average, service is above average. That sums it up really - Jasmin is above average... It's safe to go back to time and time again for business dinners and before shows. You'll never be disappointed, but don't expect to be thrilled either. I'd have no hesitation about taking someone who was new to, or nervous about Indian food to Jasmin, but it's not somewhere I'd take a foodie to. Food: 88% Service: 88% Atmosphere: 87%

All I can say is we wanted Indian Cuisine and we left completely and utterly satisfied. Service was top quality Food was incredible and I reccomend anyone, even those who don't like spicy to give it a go. 1/4/15

Great place to go in Adelaide ! In Adelaide for the first time ? Total foreigner ? Thousands of miles from home ? Enter the Jasmin, order the Feed me menu (around 49Au$ if you are hungry, some 58Au$ if you are starving), asked for suitable wines by the glas and you`ll feel at home at once. Not only that the food quality is excellent, that the wine fits without prices going over the top, its the warm and friendly service, which makes you look forward to your next trip downunder to Adelaide. And taken into account, how packed the restaurant was, I guess the local people feel the same.

The food was excellent. There were wines available that worked well with the food. The staff was knowledgeable and courteous. The ambiance was pleasant. The total experience was delightful.

Great place to eat. Comfortable, well decorated with attentive and knowledgeable staff. Food is superb and priced right for the quality of the surroundings and the location.

Looks like the cook was sleeping when he prepared chicken tindaloo. I have barely had 3 spoons of this disgusting stuff...being an Indian i can clearly make sense of spices and chillies.... And i can tell you without eating the rest of the food, that the food is hotter then the Assamese chillie. Its handful of Chillies thrown in with chicken fried in a pan and some Madras masala added. If you want to eat authentic Indian food.....you would be better off trying elsewhere ...definitely not this place..... They have no freakin clue what they are doing... Still wanna try .... Go burn yourself... I would rather eat Mac Donalds junk then try such stupid food..... What a disgrace to Indian cuisine!!! Like they say in Rome do what the Romans do... For Indian food ask an Indian Food junkie!! Piece of advise... If you are looking for pickle.. then i can recommend this place... only problem being..... you might have to add some preservatives... Their main course tastes like pickle.... Never in my life have I tasted such CRAP food! You have been warned!!

We were looking for some good Indian food and our hotel concierge told us not to miss Jasmin - and thank god we didn't miss it!!!! Amazing food!!! Amazing service!!!!! If we didn't live in Chicago, we would be back weekly!!!

this place is another gem in Adelaide. the food was fresh.. good. and tasty as all get out. the butter chicken was fab and saga was incredible too.. its a little on the pricey side but for a night out. I think its well worth it..
