Great choice for Indian food in Darling Harbor.
Love the patio dining overlooking the Darling Harbor. So relaxing to watch the boats sailing along the waterfront. So lucky to snag a table without a reservation on a Monday night in Sydney.
Started with a nice gift from the chef. The Crispy Papadums, thin wafers made from urad flour, served with four sides were a great way to start dinner. Manjits Chakara includes four sides-Raita, Mint Sauce, Mango Chutney and spicy Mixed Pickles.
The Amritsari Market fish fillets marinated with garlic, ginger, red chilli, tamarind, and coriander coated in chickpea batter and deep fried until crispy were so unique.
Manjits 1950s Butter Chicken is a classic specialty.
This chicken delicacy has half cooked the Tandoori way, while the other half is finished the curry way. The creamy tomato flavoured curry with a touch of pepper is so delicious.
Korma 'Zaffar Shahi' Lamb is a king's favorite known throughout India according to our waitress. The bowl is served full of highly flavored, creamy textured, lamb curry, topped with macadamia nuts. Get this one!
The Himalayan Malai Kofta Mixed vegetable dumplings, deep fried & served soaked in a rich and aromatic tomato and cashew nut curry and finished with a cordon of cream were a bit spicy and delicious.
Add a bowl of Kashmiri Pulao. Fluffy saffron rice with nuts and fruits. Perfect to pair with the curries.
Ordered a couple of naans. The Naan Kashmiri was stuffed with dried fruit and nuts. The Naan Cheese & Garlic is stuffed with cheese and garlic. So good.
Easy to see how Manjits is celebrating 40 years of serving Indian delicacies in Sydney. Nice to talk to the owner and his mom. An amazing family owned and operated business. Thanks for the great food and gracious hospitality. read more
