Adda @ Oxford - Soulful Indian Cuisine

Brisbane spice-chasers are quietly tipping each other off about this Bulimba staple. True to its name—an *adda* is a lively hub for conversation—this Oxford Street stunner delivers exactly that magnetic energy. Lush planter boxes shielding a dog-friendly, heated patio. Phenomenal salted caramel butterscotch martinis poured alongside flawless, thick mango lassis. The kitchen fires up soul-warming *desi* fare with serious pedigree, plus playful, inventive plates. Those in the know point straight to the sizzling lamb and crispy onion bhajis—fiercely spiced and utterly addictive. That soy honey garlic chicken tikka? A total knockout. Plant-based eaters get just as much love with rich vegetarian curries, all scooped up with blistered, fresh-from-the-tandoor cheese and garlic naans. Discerning diners continually highlight the staggeringly hospitable staff who treat every table like absolute royalty. Generous portions, brilliant gluten-free flexibility, unapologetically bold flavours. A seriously good, spice-fueled feast.
