Frustrated with local options, ventured to the Chapati house for emergency takeout. Not bad at all, A-OK. The place has seen renovations since the previous reviews it seems. Went for the tandoor this time, which is quite good(sometimes a bit oilier). The Dahl was very good as was the rice. Everyone working there has smiles while concentrating, a big plus. Prices are decent and menu uncomplicated — I’m totally willing to find its specialties. Will I come back? Definitely! if I’m not feeling too Adelaidean and want to venture further than my little suburb. You should visit too.

Don’t judge it by its interior decorating. This place is amazing! Great indian takeaway, reasonable prices and big serves. Had to wait 45 mins but it was a busy night and well worth the wait. They threw in free Pakoras for the wait. Friendly staff. This will satisfy the taste buds!

Hidden away in the Blackforest Shopping Centre, Chapati House may not look like an ideal location for Indian Banquet. but don’t let the location fool you. Chapati house are makers of great Indian Food. The design of the venue, is nothing to write home about, but it does its job. adequate seating and pleasant staff. One thing that I did find interesting with Chapati House is the fact the Kitchen was open, Indian is one of those strange mystical meals that is cooked in a hidden away backroom, this is a fresh approach. and not often seen. I like it. The food was tasty, and generous in size. Unfortunately the dishes I ordered may have been the problem with this place. We decided to have a vegetarian night, and the meals that we got weren’t the best. Not much flavour. :(I think next time. we’ll have to go with something more authentic. like a lamb korma or butter chicken to give them a better chance to prove themselves. Overall a really nice experience, but the vegetarian dishes, we’re a little lacking. I’ll still be back! :)

Looking for a top notch Indian takeaway? Look no further. We live nowhere near here, but were also introduced by friends who live locally to Chapati House, and were instantly hooked. We usually get takeaways because it’s a convenient spot on the way home from work, but have also dined in and weren’t disappointed. Agree with other reviewers, the interior is simple, but comfortable. The food is wonderful and priced very reasonably. Favourites are: Lamb Shanks Masala(seasonal special, ask if it’s available when you order) and Mango Chicken. Cheese and onion naan isn’t on the menu either, but ask for it and they will make it for you.

The Chapati House 2 is a small restaurant located on the busy South Road at Black Forest. A friend and I had decided to dine at this place for a quick catch-up. My friend wasn’t a big fan of Indian food until one of her friends bought her here and ever since then she has been dining at this restaurant. When we first arrived to the restaurant we were greeted by the friendly staffs and were shown to our seats. They presented us with the menu and made some helpful recommendation and as well as tonight’s special. The foods on the menu are well priced with everything under $ 20 and there are a lot of meat and vegetarian dishes to choose from. All of the food here are of North Indian Cuisine. My friend and I had decided to order three dishes; the Butter Chicken, the Lamb Vindaloo and the eggplant vegetable dish. We also order the Masla Kulcha Naan bread and the Kashmiri Naan bread. While waiting for our meals to arrive I had a good look at the restaurant. As others have suggested this restaurant is not as beautifully decorated compare to other places I have been to around Adelaide. There is a small open kitchen which allows us to see the chefs cook our meals and the smell of Indian food fragrant made us even more hungry. After waiting for about 15mins our dishes had arrived. I thought the Butter Chicken was succulent and tender, and the curry was creamy. The meat in the Lamb Vindaloo was a bit dry and tough, but the curry was very hot and spicy. The eggplant dish was to die for; it was very spicy and delicious. We both love the naan breads here and we dip it into our curry sauce and it was delicious. Overall the service was good. The staffs were friendly and inviting and catered to our needs whenever we need them. The food was very delicious and value for money. My friend absolutely loves this place and we will be coming back here for more.

Interior designers: don’t eat here, you won’t enjoy it. Everyone else, don’t judge this book by its cover. A dodgy-ish strip mall on South Road probably isn’t the first place you’d look for a decent feed. But Chapati House 2 is a diamond in the rough. Bare bones interior, but better food than many Adelaide Indian restaurants at significantly higher price points. Try the Lamb Rogan Josh, which at $ 14 is one of the most expensive items on the menu. Chicken Tikka Masala($ 13.50) is another highlight. Sweet mango chutney is an extra $ 2.00. It’s an easy menu to navigate, presumably an unintended benefit of Chapati House 2 being geared towards take away. Dine in and take advantage of the cheap house wine. Now accepting EFTPOS and credit cards.

Yum, yum and YUM! I find any excuse to visit my friends who live in Blackforest just so we can order Indian food from Chapati house. It just so happens that my friends are good company too ;-) Chapati house have a dining area set up quite nicely but I would presume take aways are the main orders they receive. There’s always other people there when I order but that doesn’t mean it gets stupidly busy. The prices are reasonable and the food is always great… believe me, I’ve eaten there a LOT! It’s great for the standard ‘butter chicken’ lovers, right through to those who like a fish curry. YUM!
