Famous for its flavorful paneer curries, smoky tandoori meats, and freshly baked naan, our restaurant brings the traditional tastes of North India to life right here in the Top End.
Whether you’re looking for a quick dinner, a cozy family meal, or a place to unwind with friends, Memories of India offers a menu full of classics that satisfy both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food lovers.
Paneer – The Star of North Indian Cuisine
If there’s one ingredient that defines vegetarian North Indian food, it’s paneer. Soft, fresh, and mildly flavored, it’s a versatile delight that absorbs every bit of spice and sauce it’s cooked in.
At Memories of India, our paneer dishes are made with house-made cottage cheese and freshly ground spices. Some of our local favorites include:
- Paneer Butter Masala: Rich, creamy, and indulgent, this dish combines tomatoes, butter, and gentle spices to create a smooth gravy that pairs beautifully with naan.
- Kadai Paneer: A spicier, more rustic version cooked with onions, bell peppers, and aromatic masala.
- Paneer Tikka: Cubes of paneer marinated overnight in yogurt and spices, grilled in the tandoor for a perfect smoky finish.
Each dish delivers that signature North Indian comfort — bold, hearty, and unforgettable.
For Non-Vegetarian Food Lovers
North Indian cuisine isn’t just about vegetarian delicacies — it’s also home to some of the most iconic meat and seafood dishes. At Memories of India, we bring you a range of flavorful, tender, and perfectly spiced non-veg options made the traditional way.
Some of our most loved dishes include:
- Butter Chicken: Tender chicken cooked in a buttery tomato-based gravy — mild, creamy, and perfect with garlic naan.
- Chicken Tikka: Boneless chicken pieces marinated in yogurt, chili, and spices, grilled over charcoal for that authentic tandoor flavor.
- Fish Pakoda: A crispy fried snack made with fresh fish fillets, marinated in chickpea flour and spices — golden outside, soft inside, and full of flavor.
Each dish is made fresh to order, bringing out the authentic North Indian taste that’s both satisfying and comforting.
