Food was tasty, flavours were vibrant, lots of options. Only downside was that a few items were saltier and more greasy than expected. Will be happy to be back!

This restaurant is an unknown secret. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and knowledgeable. The rear section is filled with greenery and pretty lighting. Definitely going back!!!

Really delicious food, very unpretentious place, and very very well priced everything. Would recommend for family and friends, or a low key lunch or dinner outing!

Great Indian restaurant. Our family regularly dine here and have always enjoyed the meals. The recently refreshed menu is a pleasant surprise on this visit, well worth exploring in coming months.

Great dining experience at The Poet. We ordered the chicken mancurian and the beef vindaloo. Flavorsome dishes. Friendly and warm staff. Nice selection of dishes from the menu and well priced food/drinks.

The whole experience is best described as ‘adequate’. We turned up and were served and fed. Everything seemed to be produced on a budget, from the decor to the food and service. Perhaps if we had ordered different dishes or turned up on another night it may have elicited a better review, but I’d say The Poet would be best used as a budget home-deliver option once you found a dish you liked. Butter naan was great! For a pleasant night’s dining out, go elsewhere.

Best restaurant in Canberra. Butter chicken and lamb qorma was yum. Chicken 65 was delicious served with hot nan. The chef was super friendly and dinner was served quickly.

Nice decor in the restaurant, although it was very hot and the air conditioner wasn’t very effective so we were sweating. The choice of food was good with lots of traditional dishes as well as the old favourites. The highway chicken and the Kashmiri naan were lovely. Unfortunately my friend is a bit sensitive to spice and although she asked for recommendations on the milder dishes, the chicken tikka was still too hot for her liking and she was feeling unwell after it. To the managers credit, he asked the chef to redo it with more cream to make it milder, however it was a bit too late. The waitress was lovely but had trouble explaining the dishes and understanding what we were ordering (and the questions about spice) and seemed distracted and confused. She also brought us the wrong meals and insisted they were ours before coming back and taking them to another table (luckily we hadn’t put our forks in them!). The corkage fee is a bit steep at $5 pp. We left feeling a bit underwhelmed given all the great reviews. Might give it another whirl for a take away, not sure would dine in again.
