About Adda @ Oxford - Soulful Indian Cuisine

Bulimba regulars head to Oxford Street for unapologetic heat and protein-heavy portions that skip sauce-padded shortcuts. True to the spirit of an *adda*—unrushed chatter over shared plates—the room balances casual warmth with serious spice. Tables fill with cast-iron sizzling lamb, crisp onion bhajis, and sticky soy honey garlic chicken tikka, flanked by cold mango lassis and salted caramel butterscotch martinis. Vegetarians get equal billing, scooping up hearty paneer and lentil curries with charred garlic naan. Out front, tall planter boxes screen a heated patio from passing traffic, with fresh water bowls ready for dogs under the gas warmers.

  • Bold & Inventive Cooking: The kitchen balances deeply spiced curries and sizzling lamb against inventive bites like sweet-savory soy honey garlic chicken tikka, serving generous portions for meat lovers and vegetarians alike.
  • Heated Garden Patio: Gas heaters warm the alfresco tables through winter, sheltered from Oxford Street traffic by deep planter boxes with bowls ready for visiting dogs.
  • Attentive Group Hospitality: Staff keep group bookings and celebrations running seamlessly, offering attentive pacing, banquet coordination, and cake cutting support.

  • Traffic-Buffered, Dog-Friendly Patio

    The outdoor seating area is buffered from Oxford Street traffic with dense planter boxes while welcoming canine companions with water.

    when in the outdoor dining area you didn’t notice the traffic as the view was blocked by large planter boxes and hedges.

  • Pace Your Order During Peak Hours

    Kitchen wait times for mains can lengthen during busy weekend rushes, so put in your drink and appetizer orders early—starters like onion bhajis or chicken tikka arrive promptly while sizzling mains and curries are cooked.
