Indian food is a mosaic evolved from many influences and cultures and that is what awaits discerning foodies at Annapurna Bellerive on Cambridge Road in Hobart. Named for the ‘Divine Mother’ who blesses all with food in abundance, this restaurant welcomes guests with a bright yellow façade, echoed inside with furniture and accents, while one wall is covered in a mural of the homeland. Expect to taste dishes from a rich and proud heritage well suited to the Tasmanian palate, such as lamb cutlets from the tandoor oven to start, with ginger, spices and yoghurt; or Bombay fried Tiger prawns and coconut, mango dip. For the main, delve into hot, spicy and tangy chicken vindaloo, with sides of aromatic basmati rice, spinach and cheese naan, or Goan prawn curry, with coconut and a spicy sauce.
