Excellent food and prices! We went to Ashiana on a Wednesday…read moreevening and ordered the lamb vindaloo and another lamb dish a bit less spicy. They were both delicious and we got a free entree. I also ordered the raita with cucumber (very refreshing) and the naan bread. The place is BYO so we enjoyed our meal with a fine bottle of wine. Excellent value!

Great greeting when we walked in, got seated and had a chat with the waitress (who is bloody…read morebrilliant and wears amazing eyeliner on her eyes-great presentation). The restaurant is clean and well kept and just ace when you look at it! The chefs are rather silly (to put it nicely): we said "no onion, my partner is allergic" and they bring us food with heaps of onion. We say again "no onion he can't eat it" and the food comes out again with onion but cut small. We again say "it has onion but don't worry about it he will scrape the sauce off". The waitress asked so many times in the kitchen for NO ONION but the chefs ignored her request and so did the guy who kept answering the phone and walking to and from the kitchen.. Seriously, the chefs care that little about the safety of their diners!!!! My partner now has a rash and has to keep running to the bathroom very sick!! So thanks. Lucky for them the service of the waitresses was 10/10 amazing and the restaurant is gorgeous and beautiful! Just don't go here if you have allergies as they don't care in the kitchen!!! We definitely won't be back after that experience!!!

This is the best Indian food we have had in Sydney! We live in Dee Why but come to Mosman since we…read moreknow that the food will be consistently delicious, fresh, tasty and the staff always friendly. You may notice it can be quiet- but don't let that deter you- you will not be disappointed with the food! Another great quality of the food is that the dishes are not overly oily as some Indian can be at other restaurants. So you leave feeling good and not yuck. Love it and will continue to go!

Taste of India is a bummer. Sorry to have to say that, as this place has been in operation for a…read morevery long time by one family - something I enormously admire. But my experience here was sadly very disappointing on several levels. First, we placed our order on line which required a pre-payment (which my wife did). When I got to the restaurant at the time that online order indicated, they hadn't even started preparation yet, so I had to wait around for 30m or so. Then not having communicated with my wife on the payment, they asked me to pay, which I did, not realizing that it had been a prepay. Got the food home, order was complete, but the portions were really small. But the price was not! I wouldn't mind if I thought the food was killer good, but it just wasn't. I used to live in Delhi, and have eaten Indian food all over the world and TOI isn't too good. It's not bad, but not that special... and given the price... yikes. Then to add fuel to the fire, a month or so later, my wife happened to notice that we had paid twice for TOI (we hadn't talked about it of course when coming home with the food). Accidents happen, so no worries, right? She called the restaurant, spoke to the wife (owner), the same who had I had paid when I went to pick up the food. This woman gave her the total run around... denying it had happened, refused to give an email (and in fact denied they had one - really, in today's day and age no email?) and wanted my wife to come physically to the restaurant with the receipts to prove the double pay. What happened to the customer is always right? Now I know how TOI stays in business for so long - once in a while customers get double charged and give up fighting when the restaurant makes it such a hassle to get our money back. Never never going back here again and vigorously recommend my friends to likewise find somewhere else to go for Indian.

I'll need to come to Bijolias again to form a stronger opinion of it. I only stopped in for…read moretakeaway food once this week. 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 waffle fries were nice and crispy and had some kind of seasoning on them that really hit well. Add a Coke and it's a perfect meal on a hot day. Overall it's a quaint tiny shop with plenty of outdoor seating options. The service was solid as well, I have zero complaints!

Don't get me wrong, Benbry is def a good place to go for lunch. Solid food, not too expensive, fun…read moreatmosphere! Still, I feel that's it's closer to 3 than 4 stars. The staff was nice. You definitely grade staff on a curve when you're rating a busy place! The guy running the counter at the time came to us with a smile and asked what we wanted, but we said we weren't ready and so he said no prob and went back to the kitchen instead of asking if we had any questions. If the place hadn't been super busy, I might have been annoyed but the place was very busy so it made sense. They have an easy numbering system. Your receipt has an order number, and they simply call it out when it's done. You have to stay fairly close to the counter after ordering. However, the place is so tiny inside that you can still hear the numbers from the door. I woke up that day feeling a bit hungover. I think the first words out of my mouth were "I need a hash brown, stat." Several hours later, when we went to Benbry, fate struck and I saw that they had a hangover burger! Amazing. It was actually a veggie option, with no burger. It had an egg, guacamole, aioli, cheese, BBQ sauce... and a hash brown! It was 100% fate. I had no idea if it would taste good, but obviously I needed it in my life that day. Thankfully, it did taste good. My guy got the classic Benbry and said it was good too. As a carb lover, I loved the bun especially as it was nice and large, and a good combo of fluffy and sturdy. My guy opted for the combo, and ordered a side of onion rings. We were not fans, and only ate half of them. They were fried well, and super crunchy. But they were very battery and oily, without really any onion flavor. I highly recommend this place for takeaway! There are only two small tables outside, one table inside right by the kitchen and about two or three bar stools near a ledge to eat by. We were only able to eat in by sharing the inside table with another pair. I would definitely come back though, especially when hungover. I would definitely try to come on a Tuesday/Thursday for their $12 combo deal.
