While exploring Surry Hills, I decided to try this modern Indian restaurant for dinner. This was a…read morevery hip, trendy spot with gorgeous colorful decor. There was plenty of space and I was given booth seating. I had a tough time choosing between Short Rib Korma and Aussie Lamb Chops. I finally went with the Short Rib Korma. I also ordered Onion Sesame Naan. The Short Rib Korma was made in a spiced coconut cashew curry, which was simply delightful. The Korma sauce was an aromatic blend of spices, bursting with bold flavor. Short Rib was quite tasty, though some pieces were a little bit tough. The Naan was light, thin, slightly crispy. There were pieces of sesame sprinkled on top, though I wished there was more onion taste. Service was decent. The waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, it was a lovely meal. I would give this spot another chance and would like to try the Aussie Lamb Chops, Charred Fish (whole snapper), Kashmiri Naan, and Rose Lassi.

The food was quite bland. We chose the goat curry without bones, or so we thought; it had way too many bones. The butter chicken sauce was OK but the chicken was a bunch of hard cubes. The lamb korma had no heat. The banana & lentil curry was pretty much just banana & lentil. The dessert was good. The service was excellent and the restaurant is very modern and open. Parking could be a problem as it is pretty close to the beach. Our Indian restaurants closer to home have spoilt us for this one.

I ordered chicken chettinad curry recently and it was a beautiful dish with coconut and spices, I ordered the mild because I underestimated my ability for heat, mild was very mild so if you like a bit of bite then go the medium at least. Chicken tikka is also a standout, very earthy flavours.

We order Masala dosa, Dosadilla and 6 taste thali. The food was yummy and quantity is meant to be shared. Only disappointment, I had was in the sambhar served with masala dosa was actually the same daal served with thali. Besides, quantity of dal with dosa was mere the size of chutney- which took me by surprise. I felt that was a joke. But oh well! We wanted to try ice creams but it was almost time for closing. But. Gelatissimo is right across the place. Seating is very limited and signage is not very clear. We walked past it the first time. Parking could be a challenge, but so is for any restaurant on that street.

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.

The restaurant is aesthetically appealing with its decorative interior and many statues of Ganesh that offer to bring everyone a bit of luck on selecting what they are going to enjoy. I arrived early evening time and was the only one frequenting the place other then the staff. I decided to get down to business quickly and ordered. I decided to go with lamb chops as an entree. The main I selected was Seafood mixed Korma with a side of rice and garlic naan bread. They offer this combo for $29pp which is reasonable. The lamb chops were delicious and cooked with ginger and spices and Homer Simpson would be proud. The Sea food dish was extremely tasty and contained prawns and John Dory. The garlic naan came in very handy to make use of the left over sauce. Service was a little slow considering that I was the only one there initially. They served a gentleman who ordered take away before me which I wasn't happy about but overall good quality was very good so I would return again.
