After many years in the same location, Hanuman upped sticks at the end of 2007 and moved to an even more fabulous venue in the heart of thriving Mitchell Street. Its new possie (within the Holiday Inn Esplanade) has kept the old Hanuman's distinctly Asian-style decor, but now features the alfresco glamour of a large atrium. This takes full advantage of Darwin's sultry tropical climate, while the air-conditioned interior offers a chilled alternative for those who find their mascara melting in the humidity.
Although the venue has changed, the food at Hanuman is still as consistently magnificent as ever - if they weren't before, bookings are now absolutely essential. Hanuman continues to go from strength to strength, clearly holding the ultimate title of gastronomic must-do for visitors to Darwin. Its distinctive combination of Thai, Indian and Nonya cuisine has a reputation with discerning diners all over the country.
The menu features a few familiar favourites - meals such as massaman beef curry and tandoori prawns, which can't be taken off the menu without an uproar - but it's worth delving into Hanuman's more adventurous dishes. Among the more unusual sounding meals are such highlights as the mouth-watering meen molee of wild barramundi fillets cooked with turmeric, fresh curry leaf and coconut; and the pork belly cooked Teo Chiu Chinese style.

Number one in Darwin
Recently relocated, Hanuman is a Darwin institution. The menu reflects brilliantly the fusion of the Asian Pacific population with a string tropical influence. Hard to fault any dishes. Their signature is their oysters, but their piece de resistance is their whole fish... a must for any seafood devotee. Service is faultless, and the wine list extensive. Don't expect to avoid the inflated Darwin wine prices here, but you'll be too busy downing a gorgeous fish curry to even care. Take your friends, family or co-workers here. Won't disappoint.

Asian Blend
A longstanding Darwin venue where not much has changed over the years. The quality of the food was good, but the menu was uninspiring. A good range of desserts. Prices are average with wine prices a little on the high side. The quality of the service and the staff's knowledge of the food was excellent.
