It's really difficult to find a restaurant open at 5pm on a Monday in Launceston or any day for that matter so it was great to see the Open sign on Aaj India when we fancied a bite to eat before heading home after work.

My husband and I thought the meal we ate here was fantastic! I ordered prawns and they were cooked perfectly! Everything was delicious! Hopefully we can go back soon!

We've eaten at Aaj since they opened.. but sadly our last experience was not so great.

Superb food, great advice from staff on what to have as we wanted to try something we hadn't had before. Very attentive staff and very polite. We will definitely go back and highly recommend this restaurant to others.

After dining and drinking chai at Aaj's, thoughts float back to the cuisine of India. Would have to honestly rate the experience here as one you need to have when you come to visit the northern part of Tasmania. Fabulous authentic food in a friendly atmosphere

Enticing aroma as soon as you walk in the door. The food was delicious, service was quick and staff were very friendly and efficient. I look forward to dining here again, and trying some different items from the extensive menu.

Having lived in India for many years, I am glad to know that here in Tassie at AAJ I can enjoy the best of food, ambience, and service. The chats and biryani were superb, -pity I live on the mainland, -hoping for another trip soon to Launceston!

I had the chicken Biryani and was not impressed. I have had this dish many times before (Every Sunday when working with Indians) and loved it but this was not one of those times.
