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.

Their curries are delicious and their Naan bread is soft. I like to order their thali as you can taste a huge range of veggies. It is sort of like a buffet for an individual. I especially love the accompaniments like raita and sweet they give with it. They also sell a small collection of Indian grocery items. Not exactly in a food court, but on the same floor, it is located outside Coles near the fresh food and vegetable market.

However this place caught my eye when in Parramatta recently, the diners were mainly Indian, always a good sign for an Indian eatery. Plus, the menu had very little of the usual Indian takeaway stuff, and loads of dishes i'd never heard of before, including some Indian Chinese dishes. I was intrigued, so decided to order a vegetarian thali (several small portions of different dishes), as well as a naan. The naan was amazing, better than most places i've tried, and the various vegetarian curries in my thali were all pretty decent too, again light years ahead of most Indian places i've tried. Since they cater more to Indian palates than Australian ones the curries are spicier and more flavoursome, which is a good or a bad thing depending on your tastebuds, I personally think it's a good thing. As has been said before they also stock a selection of Indian groceries, can't really comment on these though as I didn't buy any. Taj Indian Masala is located in Westfield Parramatta, on the 5th floor near Coles. They also have outlets in Homebush, Harris Park and Mount Druitt.

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.

They get all the little cultural idiosyncrasies of North Indian restaurants completely right! From the free paapads (or pappadums, as they're called in South India) on the tables (which they reload every time you finish them), to the fennel breath-fresheners they bring out after your meal! It's just a beautiful restaurant, with a really professional, sophisticated ambience. From the stark-white of the table-trimmings, to the soft glow of the candles. The service is excellent. The wait staff are so attentive! They pull your chairs out for you, they spread the napkins in your lap, they refill your glass every time it's less than half-full, and they make you feel well looked-after. They look over every now and then too, just in case you need anything, so you're never left waiting if there's a problem. And all this, for a fairly reasonable price! My date and I ordered two main dishes, and three garlic naans, for under $50. A hefty meal, at a lovely establishment, for under $25? Excellent! I had a hard time carrying myself and my full-to-bursting stomach out of there, so much did I eat! Of course, in the interest of full disclosure, I must warn you about the spiciness. I ordered the Butter Chicken, and my date ordered the Lagan Ki Boti (baby goat).. and we ended up having to swap, because his dish was too spicy for him. Being Indian, I barely registered the spiciness, but it's probably worth mentioning, so that your sensitive palates aren't unduly distressed. If you're deathly afraid of spice, go for the Butter Chicken. My date was very happy with it, and he has a pansy Irish palate. You can't go wrong there!

But who cares when you have a wine list that is awesomely paired with Indian food, and when that food itself is sheer awesomeness. $32 for a tasting plate is a little much though. Two prawns, two cutlets and a piece of chicken is a bit light, and looked as much on the plate, even if it was artfully done. Or am I being a cheapskate? possibly? There is no question that the food is great. The goat curry is particularly good, and without the usual accoutrement of bones. The spicy lamb and lentil special was also wonderfully good. The best part about this meal is that I was already slightly intoxicated (but still legal!) and the wonderful staff were fantastic in catering to our every funny whim and faux-pas (napkin on the floor, spoon on the floor, etc. All in all a wonderful experience, and one I was happy to repeat, and to repeat again in the future.

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!

A family run business having once called Nelsons Bay home, now thankfully running a new operation in Sydney. Bombay Street Kitchen has alfresco dining as well as indoor seating. There is a projector screen on the roof of the outdoor area playing retro Bollywood classics. The menu is wide and varied and as the name would suggest, brings exciting Indian street food options that you may not have known to exist. To help familiarise you with these exciting new treats, the menu listing are accompanied by a short story detailing the origins of each dish. So much choice and exciting new food to try we were momentarily a deer in the headlights. We decide to order a drink whilst we perused the menu. With plenty of choice, soft drinks a beer selection including Indian variety, as well as a few cocktails that took our fancy. Like the tamarind martini or the rum spiked Lassi's called the Sassy Lassi. We decided on the Sassy Lassi's. We got the mango as well as the rose and cardamon which are a must if visiting this place. The inspiration coming from the magnitude of street food available in Bombay. An great place to stary is with the Pani Poori; a crisp little pastry pocket stuffed with, potato, puffed rice and chutney, add the spicy tamarind sauce to taste. A mouth full of texture and a flavour explosion! The bright almost fluro red koliwada prawn fried in spiced butter, served with a lemon yogurt are sure to light up the table. Another favourite of Bombay workers being the Pav Bhajji, a vegan like sloppy joe; a buttered bread roll seved with spiced mashed veggies, served with a side of fresh spanish onion, corriander and a lemon wedge for added freshness. The pefectly spiced lamb cutlets cooked at high heat in the tandoor sure to have your mouth watering. We also ordered a chickpea and mango summer salad for some added freshness an option from lunch menu. They have a bombay lunch box for under $10, great for a cheap eat. Also cooked fresh in the tandoor are the naan and roti which we ordered to accompany some classic curries. The railway goat curry cooked on the bone, a full flavoured curry that will have you licking your lips in delight. Another go to, the paneer palak, was on point. Add a serve of flavoured rice on the side to soak up and savour the curry sauce. Make sure you leave some space for dessert and you are in for a treat. The mango kulfi, a weiss bar like dessert cooled us down after a night of spice. The Gulab Jamun a classic, not overly sweet in this instance, the dessert served warm making the dumplings nice and soft and served with cardamon and a creamy coconut ice cream. A very enjoyable and exciting Indian dining experience.

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.
