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.

They'll tell you that food is relatively cheap in the U.S. Not really, I say. For example, I have…read moreyet to find a place like this where I can rock up casually and get my Indian fix in less than 5 minutes and for less than $10. No fussing with taxes or tips either, and their curries are consistently DELICIOUS! Much of what I've mentioned is true of the Australian dining culture in general, and I miss it. This Indian shop has been around for years, even beat out the competition -another identical business called North Indian Taste(?!) once opened right next door to these guys, and I even went there to try, but they didn't last more than a few months-. My favorites are vegetable Korma, mixed vegetables, peas & potato, lentil, and eggplant, and I'd usually get a plate with rice and three choices -$6.90- and a lassi -rose or mango-. I've tried their meat curries, and I have to say they just can do no wrong. Their lassi drinks are also a killer - cool, creamy, yoghurty, and refreshing, and just the right sweetness. There's a giant TV screen usually playing Indian music videos or movies, but it's always surprisingly quiet, and usually very entertaining. Love it!

Fast, cheap, solid Indian food…read more This place is definitely nothing fancy - just rock up to the counter and point at what you want. The $11.50 meal deal will get you rice, 3 of their dishes, a drink, and a naan, which is a stellar deal in Sydney. If you are vegetarian, make sure you go for the palak paneer (it's the best of the non-meat options). Potato korma, eggplant aloo, and daal are fine, not amazing - not bad. If atmosphere is important to you, you might want to take it to go and have your Indian food feast in Hyde Park.

When you get there you scan a QR code and once your table is ready, you get a text and are shown to your table. You scan another QR code at your table which takes you to an ordering menu. There is already water at the table, with place settings. You order food through the App, then once it's ready either a human or a "Tray Robot" delivers it to your table! Seriously, a Robot!!! How cool is that! It even talks to you! The food was just incredible. We're in Sydney for a months vacation, and this was the best meal for me, in the past 3 weeks, and we've eaten at some really good places! There's another one of these restaurants nearer our Hotel and we'll be trying that too. According to the sign outside they are the most popular Vegetarian Indian Restaurant Chain in the world! Turns out they even have a restaurant in Sunnyvale, CA, which we visited many years ago, probably before Yelp! I would thoroughly recommend this place if you are in the mood for some excellent vegetarian Indian food!

Our first visit to this place, sadly likely to be our last…read more I am a curry fan folks, no two ways about it, and she is English so it goes without saying really. As one of the few Indian curry houses in the area we were expecting great things when we came in without a booking on a Friday night. Ambiance - maybe 5 out of 10, helpful staff, 7 out of 10, food - ba-bow... sorry guys can only give you a 4 at best. We enjoyed the pappadums, although they were a bit oily for our taste, the yoghurt accompaniment somewhat bland but OK. Entree, house speciality of saffon marinated chicken was tasty, and a redeeming factor. The two mains, a beef balti and a lamb rogan josh - well! First off, we really couldn't tell from the flavour which was which - I never saw a yellow balti or rogan josh, and the meat was sadly no hint, other than the one in the yellow sauce was as tough as old boots and the one in the brown sauce was pretty tender, but lacked flavour. We took a punt on which was which, after asking the waitress who sadly didn't know either. Turns out we got it back to front, and the brown dish with tomatoes and tender meat was the rogan josh, while the yellow dish with sandal soles for meat was the balti. Tragic. I am just glad he didn't ask us if the meal was alright when we left, she would have given him both barrels, and he would have never seen it coming. Perhaps we got a bad night or made poor choices, but folks life is too short to waste on bad food, so we won't be back. 2/5 is generous, saved by the chicken entree.

The garlic naan is amazing and the palak panner and dahl are delicious. If I was rating just on food, I'd give it a 5 but the last time we went we had terrible service and were basically told that we would not be served because we had a voucher and we didn't tell them that ahead of time when we booked the table. We asked if they could make an exception seeing as how the restaurant was empty at the time and she flat out refused saying we could only stay if we pay full price, either that or we need to leave. We couldn't believe how we were being spoken to. Needless to say we left and got a refund on the voucher and have never been back. Shame too because it's the best Indian I've had in Sydney.

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.

I'm not sure what to say…read more The place doesn't look very exciting, there wasn't a lot to choose from when I went in, and the staff weren't great. I left pretty unhappily. I guess it's good to have a reasonably priced Indian store around, but dont go out of your way for this one. Another confusing pricing system. Can't they just charge us for a plate of food? Do they have to make all these confusing rules about how many serves of what and with what else? Do it by weight if you want, I dont care, I just want simple pricing, where I know what I'm spending before I no longer have a choice. And the woman who served me was not a very good listener. She served the wrong curry, she gave me the wrong meal deal, she just couldn't get it right. I left the store not having what I wanted, and not for the amount I thought I was paying. Am I sounding really harsh? Let me fair it up a little bit: The food did taste good, it was filling, and the price was reasonable too. I paid around $10. And the lady meant well. I just felt disempowered to choose what to order, and left with not what I wanted.
