Delhi Spice Indian Restaurant
A Family Legacy of Authentic Flavour Since 2009 in Marion, South Australia.
A Culinary Journey
Rooted in Tradition
Founded in 2009 by Mr Sukhdev Sharma, Delhi Spice Indian Restaurant was born out of a lifelong passion for authentic Indian cooking and heartfelt hospitality. What began as a humble family venture on Oaklands Road in Marion, South Australia, soon became a beloved destination for locals seeking genuine Indian flavours prepared with care and tradition.
In the early years, Sukhdev Sharma built Delhi Spice on simple yet powerful principles — authentic taste, consistency, and warmth. With recipes inspired by India’s diverse regions and refined through decades of experience, he crafted a menu that balanced nostalgia with excellence. In time, his son Pankaj Sharma joined him, learning the artistry of spice blending, traditional tandoori preparation, and the value of every satisfied guest.
After years of dedication, Sukhdev has now retired, proudly passing the torch to the next generation. Today, Pankaj Sharma continues his father’s legacy, maintaining the same standards of quality, authenticity, and heartfelt service that made Delhi Spice a household name in Marion and across Adelaide’s southern suburbs.
A Taste of India in the
Heart of Marion
Delhi Spice offers a menu that celebrates the diversity of Indian cuisine, featuring dishes from North India’s royal kitchens to the vibrant, spiced flavours of the broader subcontinent.
While many know us for our signature curries, naan, and tandoori specials, our offerings go far beyond the streets of Delhi - showcasing vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes that capture India’s culinary soul.
Each recipe is carefully crafted using fresh local produce, premium spices, and traditional cooking methods that honour India’s timeless food culture. Our kitchen philosophy is simple: authentic taste, no shortcuts, and love in every dish.

What Diners Say About Delhi Spice Indian Restaurant
Delhi Spice Indian Restaurant enjoys blazing reviews from its patrons, reinforcing its reputation as one of the finest Indian restaurants in South Australia:
“Honestly one of my favourite places in Adelaide to walk into. You are immediately greeted with the scent of fresh ingredients filling the air and cosy warm decor. Incredible food, great service, amazing prices.”
“This has become a regular dining spot for us, and for good reason. The food is consistently excellent, the prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The staff are always friendly and attentive, making each visit a pleasant experience. One of the added perks is the BYO wine option, which allows me to bring a favourite bottle from home and enjoy a delicious dinner for two—all for around $50. A standout dish is the garlic and cheese naan bread—it’s honestly the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommended.”
“I do love their Chicken Biryani and Vindaloo. We often order beef madras too. The food is definitely very good and serving sizes are quite generous, especially when you order Chicken or Lamb Biryani. Their chilli cheese naan is also packed with generous fillings.”
“By far the best Indian food I have tasted in Adelaide, highly recommend this little place!”
“Had not been for a while due to illness, greeted like an old friend, food excellent as usual, a happily friendly spot!”
“Been eating from Delhi Spice for many years now have always loved their food.”
