Mietta's Review
A winner of accolades on the NT scene, and an unexpected jewel contained within the dumb box form of Alice Springs Crowne Plaza Hotel. Hanuman, a favoured staple of locals, offers well crafted Thai influenced dishes paired with an appropriately wide ranging, well priced, wine list. An elegant atmosphere; distinctly oriental, with ancient Thai artefacts highlighted in an otherwise subtly lit space.

Other published opinions

Courier Mail Food and Wine Guide 2009 Queensland "both cuisines and employs chefs slilled in all aspects to create inspired and traditional dishes"

Courier Mail food and wine guide Queensland 2008 Score: 15/20, One Hat "A sensory oasis in a tired resort, Jimmy Shu has placed his richly decorated Thai-inspired restaurant (which literally teems with diners and staff every night) inside the loyer of the Crowne Plaza, along the banks of the usually dry Todd River"

Gourmet Traveller Restaurant Guide Australia 2004, Good vegetarain options,'this good-looking restaurant is a welcome addition to the limited dining options in Alice Springs...And as at the Darwin original, the menu moves from Thailand to India, but the food here seems to pull less punches...Service is excellent...The wine list is probably the best in town.'
