Amaranta Café | Grill & Bar

Amaranta Café | Grill & Bar brings Indian dining to 40 Murray Street in Hobart, with a menu shaped by the country’s regional variety. The cooking draws on both the robust, spice-led traditions associated with northern India and the more fragrant, nuanced flavours of the south. The result is a restaurant that places traditional Indian food within a contemporary dining setting.

The venue’s approach centres on careful preparation, layered seasoning and produce sourced from Tasmania. Its chefs are described as having more than 20 years of international experience, informing a menu that treats Indian cuisine as both heritage and craft. The food is presented as a considered dining experience rather than a purely casual meal, while the grill and bar format keeps the venue suitable for relaxed occasions as well.

Breakfast and dinner menus give Amaranta a broad day-to-evening profile. During the day, the café identity provides a setting for breakfast and casual dining. In the evening, the restaurant shifts towards a fuller meal, with the bar adding a social element to the dining room. Takeaway is also available for meals enjoyed elsewhere.

The atmosphere is warm, vibrant and welcoming, reflecting the venue’s emphasis on Indian hospitality. The setting suits diners looking to explore regional Indian flavours, as well as guests seeking a comfortable place for a meal with friends or a more occasion-focused dinner. Events and reservations form part of the venue’s offering, supporting different types of visits without changing its focus on food and hospitality.

Located on Murray Street in Hobart, Tasmania, Amaranta offers a city dining option that combines Indian culinary traditions with a contemporary restaurant, café and bar setting. The menu’s regional influences, daytime service and evening dining make it a flexible choice for breakfast, dinner, takeaway or a social meal.
