About Daughter in Law

The aroma pulls crowds straight off Rundle Street into a room humming with saturated color and upbeat playlists. Regulars point newcomers toward the butter chicken, but the sharper move is the $55 'Feed Me' banquet—complete with refills on curries and rice. Courses kick off with crisp gol gappey—the signature Balls of Happiness popped whole per table instructions—before rolling into Colonel Tso’s cauliflower and slow-simmered Aunty Dahl. It all pairs with a chartreuse-spiked Lychee Cooler while the floor crew handles dietary preferences without missing a beat.

  • The 'Feed Me' Feast: A $55 sharing banquet delivering a broad cross-section of curries and entrees, complete with complimentary refills on curries and rice.
  • Balls of Happiness: Interactive street-food starters delivered to the table with strict instructions to eat each crisp sphere in one single bite.
  • Effortless Group Dining: Large parties and varied dietary requirements—including gluten-free and nut allergies—are accommodated effortlessly across banquet rounds.
  • Craft Drinks & Lively Energy: Spirited concoctions like the chartreuse-spiked Lychee Cooler set against vibrant interiors, warm lighting, and heated patio tables.

  • Complimentary Curry & Rice Refills

    Daughter in Law sets itself apart from standard fixed banquets by providing complimentary, on-demand refills on set curries and rice so no guest leaves hungry.

    We struggled to eat all the food even though we were offered refills on the curries and rice.

  • Seamless Dietary Inclusivity for Groups

    Large groups and shared tables can feast with complete peace of mind thanks to proactive staff and thorough allergy protocols covering gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan diets.

    Had GF & nut free dietary requirements within the party and was so well catered for.

  • Generous Banquets Built for Celebration

    Large party gatherings are effortlessly accommodated with generous set spreads, rapid dish pacing, and abundant refills designed for seamless group dining.

    We were a group of 6, so needed to do the set menu, which is absolutely yummy and plentiful (and can get refills of the rice, curries and naan bread if needed).

  • Playful Street-Food Signature Starters

    Meals kick off with the iconic 'Balls of Happiness' (gol gappey), served with fun instructions on downing each crispy, flavor-packed bite in one go.

    It was great to try the street food and other main dishes along with the ‘Balls of Happiness’ which was something I’d never tried before, loved them!

  • Complimentary Banquet Refills

    Floor staff proactively check in during the 'Feed Me' banquet to offer on-demand refills on curries, rice, and naan bread.

  • Proactive Allergy Screening

    Staff ask guests directly about allergies and dietary restrictions before taking orders, ensuring dishes are safely adapted for nut-free and gluten-free diners.

  • Pace Your Appetite on the Set Menu

    The $55 'Feed Me' menu arrives with substantial starters, four curries, naan, and rice, alongside offers of curry and rice refills. Diners advise against ordering additional à la carte dishes early, as the set banquet is more than enough to satisfy hungry groups.

  • Request the Patio for Easier Conversation

    The interior dining space runs vibrant and high-energy, which can get noisy during packed services. If you are catching up or want easier conversation, consider requesting the heated outdoor patio, which keeps diners warm even in cooler weather.

  • Dietary Needs Are Proactively Managed

    Staff proactively ask about allergies and dietary restrictions before taking orders. The kitchen accommodates gluten-free, nut-free, and vegetarian requirements across banquet courses with ease, and diners note the meat options are halal-certified.
