Jasmin



Last night headed into the city for a farewell dinner for James and Lex, who head of next week for a year in Holland and the UK. James suggested "Jasmin", an Indian restaurant in the heart of Adelaide. Tara was excited as Indian is her favourite cuisine. I looked online for some reviews and was somewhat excited after reading the following.....

Hon Mike Rann: ‘I love Indian food. If I had to choose a place for my last supper on this earth, it would be The Jasmin on Hindmarsh Square where I’ve been going for a quarter of a century.’

BEST INDIAN RESTAURANT IN AUSTRALIA
‘It was the best Indian meal I have eaten in Australia.’ ‘…I cannot recommend The Jasmin too highly.’ ‘…the food was irresistible.’

So from this I gathered it was going to be pretty nice. It was as good as suggested.

We got the banquet, which gave us two serves of entrees (8 items to try each) and two serves of main course (6 dishes). All was awesome, except for maybe the mushroom, but I hate all mushroom dishes so that doesn't really count. Besides this we also had standard and cheese naan, the later can only be described as "awesome".

Besides the food, the service was brilliant, the environment beautiful and the manager was very friendly. Probably the best dine experience I've had.

After this we headed to Brunelli's for some gelati and coffees, said our goodbyes and then headed home. A great night indeed.
