7 By the Lake, located on the Kingston Foreshore, is not your typical Indian restaurant. Not only will it fill your tummy, it provides a culinary education into Indian cuisine. The “7” in the name refers to the seven Indian provinces it sources it’s dishes from and includes: Maharashtra, Punjab, Bengal, Rajasthan, Goa, Gujarat and the South Indian States. What does this mean in practical terms? It means you experience seafood dishes representing India’s coastal provinces, spicy dishes from Bombay and Goa and even Indian Chinese food from the Northern provinces. The resulting menu provides some interesting and unusual dishes compared to your typical Indian restaurant, which in itself makes it...
Sushant and Tina at 7 By the Lake have a mission to introduce Canberra to some of the lesser known dishes of regional India. This week they invited the Canberra Food Bloggers back to preview some new dishes that will feature on a new menu to be launched in September. We also sampled the brand new ‘7 Experience’ a $49.50 per person four course banquet with accompaniments, breads and rice, full of specialities that many of us has never tried before.
As Charmaine O’Brien writes in the Penguin Food Guide to India Indian cuisine is actully incredibly diverse, with the traditional food of each different region reflecting its history, culture, trading opportunities, climate, religion and economy. This is exactly what Sushant wants to show Canberra and why his new restaurant 7 By The Lake at the Kingston Forshore is the stage for a feast of dishes from seven different parts of India.
Was hesitant to try it as it seems empty compared to other restaurants on the foreshore strip. Pleasantly surprised, both with the menu and service. The menu has a lot of regional specialities, good to try something different. Got the bengali hariyali machi (green fish), kolhapuri goat from maharashtra and mango lassi delicious! The non veg platter though was alright. Keen to come back.

I took my parents who have come from India for dinner last week. We all just loved the food. My mother loved the Malai Kofta and my father enjoyed the Palak papri chaat a lot. Overall we had a great experience. Thankyou Sushant for making their first restaurant visit in Australia so welcoming and memorable :)
Absolutely delicious curries, breads & rice in a cosy location on the water. The staff were just lovely as well. Would definitely visit again when I return to Canberra. Highly recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at 7 By the Lake. Lovely service, delicious food and the '7 experience ' deal we had was quite cheap. 7 dishes for $49.95. Would definitely recommend.
