Don't be fooled by the playful name of this place - their curries mean business. I've been a…read moreregular customer at Curry Sutra for quite a number of years now, and their food has never ceased to impress me. You'll find this little shopfront on the small unassuming Forest Food Court on level two of the Westfield shopping centre (thankfully not the busy little gangland food court populated by after school teens). The curries are reasonably priced as well, although on the odd occasion you will get a curry sauce to meat ratio which is a little ungenerous. I can never go past the unhealthiest option on the menu, the traditional Butter Chicken, and I recommend you don't either. The sauce is a rich ochre-red which disguises how mild this curry actually is, which means it's also perfect takeaway for the kids (or if you're like me and can't really handle your chilli). For something a little spicier, the Lamb Korma is another dish that frequents our dining table. But if you think you're escaping the calories with this dish, you probably won't do much better since I think the base for this curry is cream instead of butter. If you're after something a little sweeter or after an experiment with your taste buds, have a go at their mango chicken. It's not as sweet as some other places make it, but it has an interesting, refreshingly different flavour that you'd never expect.

Whatever you feel like, is sure or at least very close to be on the menu ....... but individual meals or buy as a combo with up sizes or ad-one.

I will come back again and again when the cravings kick in for that specific filling kind of food.

Located on Hurstville's Forest Road, the bright red walls of Dougie's Flame Grilled is hard to miss…read more- sight wise that is. Their char grilled chicken burgers and special Dougie's sauce has everyone coming back for more, so it's easy to say while we might not be able to miss the fire-engine walls, we sure do miss those burgers every time we part a bittersweet farewell from the shop. Prices are relatively cheap ( it's no Macca's or Hungry Jacks, it's fellow competitors around Hurstville) but you can snag a decent meal for under $10 including a burger, chips and drink. But what makes Dougie's so special is its special Dougie's sauce that we just can't get enough of. On your chips, with your chicken or in your burger, it is crucial that you order that sauce with your meal next time you stop by and I'm saying 'next' because I'm certain that once you've been there, you'll be running back for more.

So from the outside this Japanese restaurant doesn't look that great but sometimes you just can't…read morejudge a restaurant by it's store front so I decided to venture inside to make a proper judgement. The prices for the ramen were relatively cheap, especially when comparing to manmaruya but when it came out and I had a taste I knew why. It didn't really taste like the ramen i'm used to. The broth tasted like a normal soup that had been boiled for 1 or 2 hours rather than the longer hours required for rich tasting broth. The next dish I tried was the curry rice. It was decent but nothing really fancy or anything. Something you could probably just whip up at home. Has anyone had really awesome curry rice at a restaurant before though? I feel like you can't really wowed from curry rice. The small plate of sushi that came with the ramen was ok as well. Not good not bad so not much to comment on here. All in all the plain looking shop front and plain inside probably does tell the truth this time as the food there was just very very average.

Tucked away in a corner of Forest Road, it's pretty easy to simply pass by this restaurant…read more However, each time I pass by there's always a smattering of patrons seated next to the large windows at the front of the shop, although I have to admit I've never been there during the usual lunch hours. The interior is cozy, and the restaurant isn't suited for larger gatherings. Prices are relatively cheap considering the generous helping they serve. I ordered the pork katsudon and was able to leave on a full stomach (an understatement, really) for a mere $9. The taste was quite homely, nothing spectacular, but the katsu could have stood to be a little crispier. Other than that, I've no complaints.

Kebabs, Gozleme, Pide. Even fish and chips and baklava. It's cash only so make sure to take out money before you come.

Definitely my new go to place for some late night food.

A last minute google search led me to this place for dinner. I rang up at 6.30pm and asked for a…read moretable for 2 at 7.30pm but they said the earliest was 8pm. I hesitated a bit and said I would call back if I still wanted the reservation but they made me wait and told me 7.30pm was fine. I'm a bit confused why restaurants do that. My only explanation is that they are trying to space out the people to make it easier on the kitchen. Thoughts anyone? Anyway I didn't really know what to expect from this place as I'd never heard of it before but it seemed to have quite good reviews online. When we arrived the restaurant was full bar our table and the kitchen looked exceptionally busy. We waited about 5mins for our table to be ready and during those 5mins there was just an influx of customers coming for their pickup orders. From that point I thought I must've made a good decision for them to be that busy. We ordered the Paesana Special Pizza and Tortellini Arrabbiata to share. I was starving which made the wait seem longer but I think it was only 30mins before the pizza came out which was acceptable given how busy the place was. It would have been nice for the pasta to have come out at the same time rather than after we'd pretty much finished the pizza. I noticed on tables that weren't sharing it was a bit awkward with some people on the table receiving their food a far while ahead of others. In terms of the food I thought both the pizza and pasta were great. To be nit picky 3 slices of pizza had no prawns on it and 2 slices had double prawn on it. Think there should've been 8 prawns instead of 7 so each slice could have a prawn on it and I know it's probably because they are busy but if they could've ensured there was a prawn on each slice I think that would've been better. A prawn-less slice of pizza is no fun! The tortellini was surprisingly quite spicy but in a good way. If you can't handle your spice though you might want to get them to tone it down a bit. Atmosphere wise I think this place suits visiting in cooler weather as it has quite a cozy feeling to it. I'm not sure but it seemed like it would've been a house at some point converted into a restaurant. Overall I had an enjoyable evening and am happy to find another place to add to my list of places to revisit in future.
