The menu has a good variety, though the dishes felt more comforting than standout. A solid option if you're nearby, but not necessarily a place you'd go out of your way for. Food: The curries had good flavor and spice levels, but were a little oil-heavy for my preference. Portions were fair, and the dishes came out fairly quickly. Some items stood out more than others, but overall the food was enjoyable without being particularly memorable. Service: Service was efficient despite the busy crowd. Staff were polite and managed the small space well, though at peak hours it can feel a bit rushed because of how packed the restaurant gets. Ambience: The restaurant has a traditional Indian theme with old Maharaja portraits and classic décor elements throughout. The space is on the smaller side, and the décor can feel a bit overcrowded, making it slightly cramped during busy times. Still, it has a lively atmosphere that fits the tourist-heavy Circular Quay area.

The food has a slightly unusual taste; I found it less salty and somewhat undercooked, particularly the eggplant dish. The portions, especially the Dosa, felt small.

We constantly were just trying to get through each dish ordered, hoping it'd improve but the taste, quality, and texture - something was always off. The meat also smelled funny. Besan Fritters were rubber in texture with balsamic type cream sauce. Pork Curry spice was extreme and the water could not come fast enough. This had dish the most weird meat smell. The Beef Dosa tasted more like a sunscreen quesadilla. Poorly described but that was the meal in a nutshell for us. Great aesthetic and staff was semi attentive - although a reservation, there was no one at the host stand for 5min+ nor no one seated in the front section of the restaurant so awkwardly stood until the bartender finally gave in to ask if we needed help. Overall, wouldn't recommend. Especially in group settings where food would be shared since the menu incorporates a lot of different flavors/textures into one dish - not all would be inclined.

I went with my family of 5, and we ordered 3 dishes and 3 naans, and that was the perfect amount of food for us. The food was not too spicy, so it's great for those who aren't huge fans of spice, but I'm sure you can ask for it to be spicier if that's what you like! They also have a great take-away service. Highly recommend :)

Holy goat curry! Holy fish biryani! Holy garlic naan! Some Indian restaurants are not created…read moreequal, and this is one of those restaurants. It's run by the guys behind Nilgiri cooking schools so you know it's legit, and this ain't your anglicised rogan josh slinger, oh no, this is coastal Indian with exotic influences the likes of which you've probably never seen, I certainly hadn't. We ate: - TELLICHERRY FISH BIRYANI: star anise, Tellicherry pepper, biryani mix, basmati rice and fresh fish 'dum cooked' - AADU ULLARTHU: slow cooked goat with ground 'masala' of, fennel, cassia and poppy seeds - BRINJAL AVIYAL: stuffed baby eggplant in seasoned yoghurt with mustard and curryleaf 'baghaar' - GOBHI KEMPE BEZULE: batter fried cauliflower, black mustard, tempered yoghurt Everything was spectacular, but the goat, good lord, the goat was a show-stopper, closely followed by the biryani and the buttery naans. Plus it's BYO so yeaaaah son, get on.

Nevertheless the prospect of good southern Indian kept us at the table. The menu is small but interesting. Started with pappadums and dips - awesome yoghurt dip. Possibly the best I have had. Pepper Chicken entree was good, but to my palate very salty - tamarind paste I guess. Sadly, my goat curry was very tough with gristle and inedible chunks. The Saag Paneer was ok but nothing special. All in all, did mot meet expectations.

We had been discussing Thali on our morning walk so I was surprised when there were none on the menu. Some if the group ordered individual dishes, but the usual sharing of dishes didn't look like it was on the agenda. So I pursued the Thali idea .... a little of many flavours. Orders arrived for the others but for the 5 Thali orders we received the empty sectioned platters. Waiting, waiting. The waitress then came to deliver pickles, pappadams & yoghurt. Then in the next round she brought curries & naans. And then a dessert. Yes, I was hungry. No, nothing wowed me. In fact I only nibbled at the courses. The waitress reappeared offering to refill any empty areas of our platters. Aaah, this is what she meant by Buffet. Refills!!! As I had eaten so little no refills were needed by me or the diner opposite me. Return? Probably not, as there are so many other places to try in the Harris Park 'Little India' hub.
