There was just enough food, and I thought I wanted more, but just had desert. For desert I had a sweet naan, the Peshawari ma'am bread is seeet and has raisins, plus the Pistachio ice cream. I left with a deep inner peace, Namaste! The front desk suggested next time the Butter Chicken spicy with a sweet and hot mix, next time.

Finally. Indian in Bondi. That just so happens to also be delicious. But how best to describe it to…read moreyou, dear reader? Well... you know when you order too much from an Indian restaurant and you get the leftovers packaged up to take away but when you go to eat said leftovers for lunch the next day (ok fine, breakfast) you can't bring yourself to do it because the grease sheen that has coated the plastic container and subsequently pooled into oil slicks atop your aloo tikki, chicken jhalfrieze and lamb roganjosh gives you night terrors in the daytime? (Phew. Breathe.) Well, that didn't happen the next day. Dare I say, it was even better the morning after as all the spices had really settled as they do, and it came out of the container without a Cat In The Hat-style signature calling card. We were very impressed by the vegetarian dishes, specifically the aloo gobi and dal tadka, although I could have had them both a touch spicier. But the standout was the fish curry, to which I leave you with this quote directly from their menu: "Panjim Fish Curry: Panjim on the konkan coast comes this beautiful recipe which only taste cant (sic) describe best." Note: Unfortunately you'll also pay for said deliciousness, entrees coming in from $6-$15 and mains from $14-20. But quality is much higher than your old go-to London standard Indian takeaway that you drunkenly hit on Brick Lane and then denied knowing anything about the day after (just me?) so it's certainly worth it in my book. Free delivery over $30 within 4kms.

Generous portions, excellent service and flavoursome food…read more Mehfil is a local gem, located within the hub of restaurants along pacific hwy in Gordon. Always packed on Friday nights, the gf and I decided to try takeaway & I'm grateful I did! Veggie samosas were punchy and spicy, with a great balance of starch and texture. Crisp and fresh, not overly potatoey like some others. Good stuff. We scoffed it down before I had a chance to take a photo... Garlic naan. Would you like some naan with that garlic? From the first bite the garlic hits you with its deliciously pungent aroma. They really don't skimp on the garlic here. Naan is more on the fluffy side rather than thin n crisp, really is personal preference. Great for soaking up the curry though. Rice is fluffy and fresh. Butter chicken is deliciously tender with bits of char to give it some character. Less sweet and more tangy than your average butter chicken. Very nice. Pardon the poor quality photos. We were too busy eating...

Started with papadams and mint dip, then a colliflower starter with a wonderful sauce and salad. For mains we had vegetables with a butter chicken type sauce and a prawn Balti and rice. What is great is that they know not to put coriander leaf on anything, even as a garnish, as we both detest the stuff and they make it to whatever heat level you like. We finished with a mango culfe to share. So long as they maintain their standard we will keep coming back.

I've been checking it out for a while now but it's a little on the pricy side for take-out Indian. I don't mind paying $15 a dish if you're sitting in and sharing a few dishes but if I'm grabbing a quick takeaway on my own it adds up when you want at least a couple of curries, naan, rice, pappadums etc... Anyway, I was craving a good dahl and sometimes you know that just any old dahl is not going to cut it. So I decided to give Chilli & Spice a red-hot go. I ordered a dahl makhani, saag paneer, rice and naan. This all set me back around $30 but they were generous serves so I got a second meal out of it the next day. The dahl was as good as I'd hoped, the saag was great (I prefer alloo over paneer but the paneer was light and fluffy), and the rice was perfect. Pukka!

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.

After seeing some good reviews here decided to give it a whirl, looking for a good curry…read more Nice little restaurant, but regrettably the place was absolutely reeking of deep fried stuff, so much so it was sickly. 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 some chicken dish (I forget which one, lots of cardamom), dahl, and pepper paneer. It was quite tasty, and seemed very...authentic. Like it was all homemade food. Very similar to the food I actually got served when I visited India. (Except for the beef vindaloo, but never mind). However it lacked a bit of spice. It was tasty, for sure, and I know this is subjective, but didn't have the spicy zip I like, and I expected from the dishes we ordered. But then when we had the leftovers the next day they were perfect. Tastier, spicier, better all around. I'm wondering if the sauces had just been made when we ordered the food (a Tuesday evening) and then they had time to mature the next day? Will have to try again some time. Eating in looked quite nice, white-linen dining.

The ladies who work at the front are really friendly and are quite accommodating to any of our requests. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing shop but the food and service makes up for it. We usually do take away and the portions are pretty generous. Try the butter chicken, or they have a really nice eggplant dish. Cheese and garlic nann always goes down a treat.

I was also after something similar to butter chicken without the chicken and found the paneer tikka masala sauce to be a good substitute.
