Adelaide has just welcomed a fragrant new addition to its vegetarian food scene, and if you’re a fan of authentic Indian flavours and enjoy plant based meals this new restaurant should jump to the top of your must-visit list.
Sankalp Indian Restaurant officially opened its doors in Hillcrest a couple of weeks ago, bringing with it a legacy of world-class 100% vegetarian Indian cuisine. With over 150 restaurants across the globe, this highly successful chain has made its way to Adelaide.
Owner Harsh Patel grew up in Gujarat, India, where he worked in his uncle’s restaurant.
“When I moved to Australia I knew I wanted to own my own restaurant where I could serve great food and serve my new community, and opening a Sankalp franchise allows me to do just that, ” he said.
“Sankalp is all about creating an experience that goes beyond just great food. I hope customers walk in, feel right at home and enjoy a relaxed and satisfying meal.”
The team prides itself on delivering the highest standards of quality. It’s no wonder the global brand has built such a strong reputation over the last three decades, becoming synonymous delicious and incredibly authentic flavours.
The menu is a celebration of Indian vegetarian cuisine, offering a mix of beloved classics and bold new flavours.
Staying true to its roots and providing a menu full of healthy, fresh, and wholesome dishes the restaurant is 100% vegetarian to the delight of the Adelaide Indian community.
There’s the Spicy Schezwan Dosa, a fiery, flavour-packed delight, the Masala Uttapam, fluffy and generously topped, and the rich, aromatic Avadhi Dum Biryani. But the real showstopper is the Karigalu Paneer Sukha – a dry masala dish that’s simple, spicy, and full of character. It’s already the restaurant’s most popular dish, winning over diners with its flavours and expertly balanced spices.
To complement the food, Sankalp also offers an impressive selection of cocktails and mocktails, and for those looking for an authentic Indian beverage experience, the restaurant serves special filtered coffee straight from India. No meal is complete without something sweet and Sankalp offers a selection of traditional Indian sweets too.
“Meeting all the new people has been great since we opened. The Indian community has been incredibly supportive and the local people have been wonderful, providing such valuable feedback,” Harsh said.
“I live in Hillcrest so it’s great to live and work in my neighbourhood. I also have the joy of working with my brother, my brother-in-law, and his brother.”
One thing’s for sure, this isn’t the kind of place where you just grab a quick bite and dash. The menu itself is an experience, spanning nine pages. You’ll want to take your time reading through the descriptions, imagining the rich textures and fragrant aromas before making your choices.
“We cook both northern and southern authentic cuisine and look forward to more people discovering us and enjoying our new restaurant,” Harsh added.
