We had a lovely dinner at The Poet. Inspired by an instagram post, we booked and went here for the $60 all you can eat/drink deal. The food was generous, delicious and beautiful presented. We tasted an Indian cocktail before realising we prefer wine and were delighted by the options from a local winery. Would recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The service was wonderful also. We had a Thali which looks great and tasted delicious. We chose our own curry's and had a drink of choice also. We were all very satisfied with the amount of food! The restaurant looks great. We will definitely be back. Thanks for the experience

It was great. The portions were just right - 2 curries, rice and naan - we had a couple of bits of naan to take home for an arvo tea tomorrow. The food was plate-cleaning good. 1 fish curry, 1 goat curry. I can't wait to go back. It was cosy & quiet on a Thursday night.

The food was okay overall. However the wait time for just the entree was too long and the seekh kebab was so hard & chewy and felt like defrosted and heated through. We liked the stuffed naan bread of all the dishes we ordered.

Quite busy at the time we went & the background music loud--but they promptly fixed that for us. Excellent service from our waitress, who seemed eager to please. Food was very good, with plenty of "leftovers"!.

The best Indian food in Canberra, without a doubt. We had the chicken crisps and the Dahl Tadka—the best!
