About The Imperial Lounge & Indian Cuisine

Cannington locals head to Albany Highway for true desi flavours—rich goat karahi, fragrant biryani, and blistering breads fresh from the tandoor. The dining room feels calm and spacious, offering an open glance into the kitchen while floor staff guide you through spice levels. Regulars point to the Amritsari kulcha, crisp on the edges and stuffed with spiced potatoes, alongside slow-simmered dal makhani scooped up with warm garlic naan.

  • In-house tandoor cooking: Clay ovens turn out blistered garlic naan and crisp, spiced Amritsari and paneer kulchas alongside charred tandoori cuts.
  • Private group dining: Dedicated private rooms accommodate family gatherings, dinner parties, and coworker celebrations.
  • Open kitchen view: A clear look into the food prep area lets guests watch the cooking as meals are plated.
