Best Asian Food Restaurants in Darwin

"Jimmy Shu’s award-winning Hanuman restaurant is a must-visit in Darwin. Drawing on the flavours of Thailand, Malaysia, India and Indonesia, Hanuman offers a broad sweep of modern Asian flavours, served in a chic, colourful setting. Don’t miss the Hanuman oysters with lemongrass, basil, chilli and ginger, or the prawns with coconut, wild ginger and curry."

"Hanuman Darwin is one of the best Thai Indian style restaurants in Darwin (and there’s one in Alice Springs too) having a reputation for great food with authentic Asian flavours. One of my favourites for flavour and atmosphere. Try the Hanuman oysters or mushrooms, if you don’t care for oysters and Whole Reef Fish for the amazing flavours."

"The signature oysters with zingy chilli sauce might be followed by spiced lamb cutlets or creamy curry of local barramundi. Though there’s plenty of seating, including outside on the timber deck, Hanuman is almost always busy so it’s worth booking.93 Mitchell Street, Darwin; (08) 8941 3500"

"For authentic and typical Asian delights, head to Rendezvous Cafe in Mitchell St. It is a family-owned business running at the heart of Darwin shopping district and has been serving its current fantastic menu of Asian dishes since 2007. Rendezvous Cafe is one of the best places to try the city signature laksa soup. The signature dish is filled with sweetly roasted pork, thick noodles and a perky sambal chilli hit."

"As Darwin’s main prison for about a century, from 1883 to 1979, Fannie Bay Gaol has certainly got lots of stories to tell!. It’s now a historic site and you can visit it for free on Saturdays to see the heritage buildings. There’s the female block with a small garden, maximum security wings added in the 1950s, and the watch tower."

"What is now a museum was previously a fully functional prison. Even today, you can see for yourself, the gallows where they hung convicts sentenced to death by hanging. Regarded as a historic landmark in the Northern Territory, many visitors have claimed that the museum could have been in a better shape."
