We started Indian Club SA in 2021 during a tough period of time. Two major events occurred that gave us a difficult start for our family restaurant; the COVID pandemic and the major Magill road construction.
We not only survived from our humble beginnings but built the business into a multi award winning restaurant. We account this to our dedication, patience, determination, and faith.
We built a strong reputation for authentic Indian flavours, a warm welcoming service, and a dedication to quality and authenticity. This hard work earned us the prestigious title of Best Indian Restaurant in South Australia, Best Family Dining, and Best Casual Dining of the year awards.
We captured the hearts of food enthusiasts across South Australia with our passion of bringing the vibrant tastes of India to our local community. This passion of making every dinning experience memorable has led to our clients returning time and time again; something we are very proud of.
We are grateful to all our customers and communities for allowing us to continue our mission of bringing the high quality cuisine of Indian to our fellow South Aussies.
Grand Opening
Our founders Bishnu and Anu Kharel, a local Adelaide husband and wife team, opened Indian Club SA, a family-run restaurant. It was a challenging start because we opened during two disruptive events: the COVID pandemic and the major Magill road construction. Depsite all the challenges we survived due to our resilience and community support, we owe our gratitude to our diners.
Recognised Success
After many years of hard work we won the Best Indian Restaurant in South Australia as awarded by the Prestigious organisation, Restaurant and Catering Australia. In the same year we were also National Finalists for Best Restaurant in Australia. We were unbelievably proud and honoured by these achievements.
Multi-Award Winner
On the back of our success in 2024, we won several more awards from Restaurant and Catering Australia, including the 2025 Casual Dining of the Year for South Australia. We were also National Finalists for Casual Dining and Best Restaurant in Australia. We owe our success to our local Adelaide community, without our diners these achievements wouldn't have been possible.
