“ What an absolute gem! Dwight runs a true one-man show at Peasants Paradice, and I couldn’t fault a single thing. The food was unreal—every dish was packed with flavour and beautifully presented. The wine list was spot on, and both food and drinks were excellent value for money. It’s rare to find somewhere where you feel so well looked after, and Dwight’s passion really shines through in every detail. Highly recommend! ”
“ Excellent restaurant. Dwight is a great guy, chef and owner. The food is great, a fantastic fusion of African-Indian cuisine. Definitely recommend! ”
“ Incredible. We were blown away to discover that this amazing restaurant is run entirely by a one-man powerhouse—Dwight. From the food to the atmosphere to the impeccable service, every element is delivered by him alone. It’s truly an experience! Not a single detail felt lacking. In fact, knowing that Dwight was effortlessly juggling it all made the whole evening even more impressive. We’re so glad we searched “Perth’s Best Indian Restaurant” and found Peasants Paradice at the top of the list! While we expected Indian food, we were delighted to find it was actually African cuisine—our first time trying it, but definitely not our last! 4 dishes between 3 of us was more than enough. Next time, we will have one curry and two or three sides. Photo 1: Polenta Fries / Pickled Marinated Whitlof (MUST HAVE!)

“ Visited Peasants Paradise for the second time so my family could enjoy the amazing food and once again, it exceeded expectations. Truly a memorable experience! You can feel the passion in both the food and the space. Highly recommended ”
“ Incredible experience from the beginning. We were welcomed in like old friends and say our table where the concept of the restaurant and the menu were explained to us in such a friendly and accessible manner. One of our party was vegan and every accommodation was made for her. We had the sweet and sour cauliflower, the shalaka bunnychow, and the Senegalese curry and not a morsel was left on the plate. I’ve already recommended this to two couples and will continue to recommend it to others. Delicious food, great atmosphere, incredible host, we will absolutely be back. ”
“ Delicious cuisine, a warm atmosphere, and amazing service!! At Peasants Paradice, you’ll enjoy a vibrant dining experience inspired by the rich flavors of South Africa. Owner, chef, and host Dwight takes pride in sharing his culture, and his passion shines through in every detail—from the way he warmly greets guests with a smile to the thoughtful explanations he gives about each dish. We had a filling feed me menu to truly experience the beautiful food- starting with polenta fries, babouti, rich goat curry, biriyani and finishing off with a light but aromatic kulfi. Would recommend checking this restaurant out ”
“ Peasants has been on my hit-list for months and months. Why I waited I will never know. Injera Flat Bread - Nom. Mummas Chicken, coconut and black bean curry - give me the recipe NOW! Grilled, Yuzu infused cabbage - love (toot) Senegalese Beef Brisket - comfort food finest. Strong vino selection, if a touch on the pricey side. But all in all just really enjoyed this venue, Dwight's story-telling, energy and talent and the food. Such great food. Don't wait. ”
“ Had an incredible time dining at Peasants Paradice yesterday. Dwight is an absolute gem! He really does it all —prep, cooking, and cleaning—and you can taste his passion in every dish. There’s a huge selection of vegan options. We left feeling elated, it was truly an incredible experience. ⭐ ”
