BAVARCHI

Bavarchi is an Indian restaurant in the Hume industrial precinct, known locally for Hyderabad-style biryani and casual, no-fuss dining. It's listed as dog friendly on its Google Business profile, with outdoor seating that works for a quick meal with your dog at your feet.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, not in the indoor dining room. Bring your own mat or portable bed, since the seating is standard outdoor furniture rather than anything dog-specific. Bring a water bowl too, treats and bowls aren't guaranteed on site. Keep your dog leashed and with you at the table.

Good to know. Bavarchi's drawcard is its biryani and South Indian catering, drawing diners from across Canberra, so outdoor tables can fill at peak lunch and dinner times. Call ahead if you want to be sure of a table before you drive over.

Getting there. Bavarchi is in the Hume industrial area off Sawmill Circuit, with free off-street parking usually available right in front.

Nearby with the dogs. Capital Brewing Co in Fyshwick, a short drive away, has a well-regarded dog-friendly beer garden if you want to extend the outing.

Weekday lunches are your best bet for a quieter outdoor table; weekends can get busy with the biryani crowd.
