Best Dinner Places to Eat 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"
