Founded in 2009 by Mr Sukhdev Sharma, Delhi Spice Indian Restaurant was born out of a lifelong passion for authentic Indian cooking and heartfelt hospitality. What began as a humble family venture on Oaklands Road in Marion, South Australia, soon became a beloved destination for locals seeking genuine Indian flavours prepared with care and tradition.
In the early years, Sukhdev Sharma built Delhi Spice on simple yet powerful principles — authentic taste, consistency, and warmth. With recipes inspired by India’s diverse regions and refined through decades of experience, he crafted a menu that balanced nostalgia with excellence. In time, his son Pankaj Sharma joined him, learning the artistry of spice blending, traditional tandoori preparation, and the value of every satisfied guest.
After years of dedication, Sukhdev has now retired, proudly passing the torch to the next generation. Today, Pankaj Sharma continues his father’s legacy, maintaining the same standards of quality, authenticity, and heartfelt service that made Delhi Spice a household name in Marion and across Adelaide’s southern suburbs.
Delhi Spice offers a menu that celebrates the diversity of Indian cuisine, featuring dishes from North India’s royal kitchens to the vibrant, spiced flavours of the broader subcontinent. While many know us for our signature curries, naan, and tandoori specials, our offerings go far beyond the streets of Delhi - showcasing vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes that capture India’s culinary soul.
Each recipe is carefully crafted using fresh local produce, premium spices, and traditional cooking methods that honour India’s timeless food culture. Our kitchen philosophy is simple: authentic taste, no shortcuts, and love in every dish.
1. Family Heritage & Authentic Recipes – Rooted in family tradition, every dish carries forward techniques and flavours passed down through generations.
2. True Indian Hospitality – We treat every guest like family, offering a warm, welcoming dining experience.
3. Fresh, Local, and Consistent – Only the finest ingredients and authentic spice blends are used to ensure every meal delivers the taste of home.
4. Diverse Menu for All Palates – From rich butter chicken and smoky tandoori platters to fragrant lentils and plant-based delights, there’s something for everyone.
5. Community-Focused Legacy – For over 15 years, Delhi Spice has been part of the Marion community, building relationships that extend far beyond the dining table.
At Delhi Spice Indian Restaurant, our goal is not just to serve food - it’s to share a story. A story of family, heritage, and passion; a story that began with one man’s dream and continues through the dedication of his son and a loyal team. Whether you’re joining us for a quiet dinner, family celebration, or takeaway night at home, we promise you’ll experience the same authenticity, warmth, and unforgettable flavour that has defined us since 2009.
