A local Indian/Sri-Lankan restaurant that has been around for over 15 years. From the outside it…read morelooks like any old Indian place but inside it changes. The menu is massive but they also had "spring specials", figuring we could get a butter chicken anywhere we tried some of the specials. They were great, we had the paneer tikka, chicken tikka phaal and gunpowder beef. We also had some samosas (veg) which held their shape when cut and were delicious. We also got the garlic naan and pashwari naan, sometimes the fruit naan can be a failure but it was perfect here. Also serving sizes were good, you got more than a couple pieces of meat in sauce. Service is super friendly, one of the waiters noticed we were having troubles getting our 2 year old to sit, so he came over and played with her while we finished our glass of wine. Only things that stop it being 5 stars is the service is occasionally forgetful (we had to ask for things multiple times) and it being on the pricey side of things.

Upscale Indian dining at an overpriced cost and questionable ingredient pairing. The best thing we…read moreate was the basmati rice so it's saying a lot. 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.

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 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.

Bang! That's a cool name for a restaurant - kind of appropriate for a Bangladeshi restaurant, just…read morethe first four letters of its national origin. Wonder if this way of naming a restaurant could apply to other types of cusine, I guess it could, but maybe not quite as good. Anyway, this place has been doing its thing in Surry Hills for a while now and we were surprised we've never heard of it, nor crossed its path until now. It is know for Bangladeshi street food. Strolling the streets of Surry Hills the restaurant is kinda unassuming, for a name like Bang, they could do with some signage that has some Bang, and some Neon could work. Once inside, you'd be hard pressed guessing this is a Bangladeshi street food restaurant, the place looks more like a fine dining restaurant, it was quite refined, with a suave modern feel. Much like their take on Bangladeshi street food, the menu items, although street food inspired, were refined. With technique and quality presentation. This place also had an exciting wine list that, with some excellent wine from Portugal that paired nicely with the food on offer. Can't say we have visited many restaurants serving Portugese wine. The food at Bang was extremely tasty, not too heavy and not too much spice, just enough to hit your taste buds with a flavoursome spice kick. Upon viewing the menu it was noticed that there was a starter of peanuts for $2 and that all proceeds donated to the Fred Hollow's Foundation. Great to see a restaurant giving back and we happily obliged. Upon further viewing of the menu, the honey roasted paneer instantly stood out as a dish to order and that instinct proving correct, as it was an excellent option. The soft shell crab was another top option with the spicy chilli achar providing that flavoursome bang along with some welcomed sweetness. There were many hits amongst the starters, the briyani arancini another quality option. The Tandoori Lamb cutlets are a must, they were perfectly cooked, the spice and herbs combining for some more bang and amazing flavour. We love a good Korma and the oven roasted, spiced duck was the pick of the mains. The meat perfectly prepared very enjoyable dipped in that rich sweetness of the korma. This was excellent dining experience with tasty food and equally tasty wine and good service. It was enjoyed in a nice setting with great company where_do_i_eat_pete and eatwithmyfoodsafari.

The honey glazed paneer,the smell of honey is evident but not much with the taste. The lamb cutlets,like the spices but it's a little burnt,the naan was a bit burnt too. The rice was soft and fluffy,I liked it. The goat curry,even the people sitting next to us had heard of how good it is. My missus liked it,she said the lamb was nice and tender. I wasn't that impressed,I felt like I've had these flavours before The coconut lassi,my missus didn't like it but the more I had,the more I liked it. It it's not for everyone Overall it's ok but I think my huge expectations of the goat curry didn't help

They're open for lunch and dinner. You should check out Groupon to see if they have any deals up. The staff is extremely friendly. There's a small bar with a limited selection of wines, beers and mixed drinks. If the weather is good, I prefer to sit out on the street as do most Sydneysiders. They make a good vindaloo and a flavorful tikka masala. My favorite thing is saag, but I don't see it on the menu anymore. After eating dinner or lunch, stroll down Lavender St or King George St and walk through the little parks along the water near the amusement park.
