My favourite local Indian restaurant! Actually run by Indians and patronised by Indians (which I…read morealways find reassuring). The food is amazing. I'm a Vegan and there is plenty of choice. The serving sizes are generous. Service always with a smile and you don't have to wait a long time for food to arrive. Last time we went, we took home half of the meal! Great value for money. It doesn't look like much on the outside and the decor is a little boring, but don't let that dissuade you from their great food.

Ok, I admit I was a bit of a skeptic before coming here as I didn't think Narre was 'known' for…read moregood Indian cuisine. But amazing food can be found everywhere, and in the most unlikely places sometimes. Arya is definitely one of those diamonds in the rough. My nephew suggested we celebrate his birthday dinner here, as he is in love with their butter chicken! I could totally see why - it was brilliantly rich and creamy, and the chicken pieces just melt in your mouth (good for the seniors on our table!). We also ordered samosas, fish curry, lamb roganjosh and lentil dahl which were all spot on. The beef vindaloo was probably the only dish not on par with the rest, as the meat was fairly tough. But what stole the show for me was the chicken tikka! It was served on a sizzling plate which really gave the chicken that wonderful crisp taste, and kept it hot but not dry - in fact it was incredibly juicy, and came with a lemon wedge for that extra citrus kick. As we were one of the first groups to arrive, service was attentive and the dishes came out quickly. Later on as they got busier, it became more challenging to get a waiter's attention to order again, but they were always smiling and did their best, given it was a Saturday night. Told them it was my nephew's birthday, to which they played a super tacky rendition of Happy Birthday in surround sound (much to his utter embarrassment) and the entire restaurant sang along! Great to see other diners get into the spirit of things. Seems they are well prepared for special occasions and after such a lovely dining experience I wouldn't hesitate to come back!

We had dinner here on Monday night. This used to be Riks Maha, not sure if they've changed…read moremanagement but the restaurant have made some improvements compared to what it looked like before. We were having second thoughts of coming in because when we looked at the menu, the prices went up. We used to get a decent delicious meal for the price of $10, but now, one dish w/out rice costs at least $12.99. We gave it a go thinking that they may offer great tastes like Riks Maha. Unfortunately not. The buttered chicken I ordered was too salty. The saffron rice was salty too. The mango lassi was quite ok but nothing spectacular. It was served in a plastic cup as if it was bought from the super market, considering that we're dining-in, I suppose they should've served it in a proper glass? The only thing I really liked was the garlic pita bread. Sadly, the dining experience was not enjoyable because we waited for almost 30minutes to get served such food. I was satiated, because I was hungry, but was definitely not satisfied.
