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.

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.

The Goan fish curry and Patiala goat curry (spicy) from the mains were both delicious, and the Kari Kozhambu from the specials was also brilliant. The Hariyali chops were my favourites from the mains in terms of flavour, but the chops had a bit too much fat on them for my liking. Service is AMAZING. The staff are always on their feet and on the two occasions we visited, we were never left waiting to order or ask for additional drinks. They even gave us coffee after they had already cleaned the coffee machine and were getting ready to close up. I think some may feel that the food is a bit pricy, but I would have to disagree. While it is expensive compared to most other Indian restaurants, I believe the food is priced fairly (taking into account the quality of the food and service, and menu originality). We are far too accustomed to seeing Asian cuisines as being "cheap and quick". Abhi's is definitely worth the visit, you are guaranteed to find dishes you've never eaten before.

We met a group of foodie friends for a catch up and had a banquet arranged. We had a cocktail on arrival and there is a great range of cocktails, Bellini's, beers and wines to select from. The cocktails also had a lot of interesting choices. A modern Indian influenced restaurant, the food is great for sharing. We began with a range of snacks like Poppadoms, a very interesting wonton cone filled with tandoori tuna tartare, Samosas and a roti wrap filled with pork belly. All dishes were great little starters and excellent flavour combinations. Each dish came out promptly with a good amount of space in between each. The next stage of meals was the lighter bites including a lovely citrus cured scallop and kingfish ceviche, a spiced cauliflow and coconut paneer and a grilled prawn with spiced basmati rice on a betel leaf. When we thought we were full, the bigger eats came out - a huge fried chook platter complete with a range of accompiaments like pickled cucumbers, vindaloo hot sauce, yoghurt and roti wraps. The chicken was incredibly moist, well cooked and delicious. We also shared a goat curry - slow cooked in green chilli and masala spice with lemon slaw and yoghurt. These were huge servings and perfect for sharing. The dessert was a perfect palate cleanser - a watermelon granita on top of a vanilla custard, candied lemon and rose jelly. A great place to visit with friends.

Our first visit to this place, sadly likely to be our last…read more I am a curry fan folks, no two ways about it, and she is English so it goes without saying really. As one of the few Indian curry houses in the area we were expecting great things when we came in without a booking on a Friday night. Ambiance - maybe 5 out of 10, helpful staff, 7 out of 10, food - ba-bow... sorry guys can only give you a 4 at best. We enjoyed the pappadums, although they were a bit oily for our taste, the yoghurt accompaniment somewhat bland but OK. Entree, house speciality of saffon marinated chicken was tasty, and a redeeming factor. The two mains, a beef balti and a lamb rogan josh - well! First off, we really couldn't tell from the flavour which was which - I never saw a yellow balti or rogan josh, and the meat was sadly no hint, other than the one in the yellow sauce was as tough as old boots and the one in the brown sauce was pretty tender, but lacked flavour. We took a punt on which was which, after asking the waitress who sadly didn't know either. Turns out we got it back to front, and the brown dish with tomatoes and tender meat was the rogan josh, while the yellow dish with sandal soles for meat was the balti. Tragic. I am just glad he didn't ask us if the meal was alright when we left, she would have given him both barrels, and he would have never seen it coming. Perhaps we got a bad night or made poor choices, but folks life is too short to waste on bad food, so we won't be back. 2/5 is generous, saved by the chicken entree.

If I was rating just on food, I'd give it a 5 but the last time we went we had terrible service and were basically told that we would not be served because we had a voucher and we didn't tell them that ahead of time when we booked the table. We asked if they could make an exception seeing as how the restaurant was empty at the time and she flat out refused saying we could only stay if we pay full price, either that or we need to leave. We couldn't believe how we were being spoken to. Needless to say we left and got a refund on the voucher and have never been back. Shame too because it's the best Indian I've had in Sydney.

Bang! That's a cool name for a restaurant - kind of appropriate for a Bangladeshi restaurant, just…read morethe first four letters of its national origin. Wonder if this way of naming a restaurant could apply to other types of cusine, I guess it could, but maybe not quite as good. Anyway, this place has been doing its thing in Surry Hills for a while now and we were surprised we've never heard of it, nor crossed its path until now. It is know for Bangladeshi street food. Strolling the streets of Surry Hills the restaurant is kinda unassuming, for a name like Bang, they could do with some signage that has some Bang, and some Neon could work. Once inside, you'd be hard pressed guessing this is a Bangladeshi street food restaurant, the place looks more like a fine dining restaurant, it was quite refined, with a suave modern feel. Much like their take on Bangladeshi street food, the menu items, although street food inspired, were refined. With technique and quality presentation. This place also had an exciting wine list that, with some excellent wine from Portugal that paired nicely with the food on offer. Can't say we have visited many restaurants serving Portugese wine. The food at Bang was extremely tasty, not too heavy and not too much spice, just enough to hit your taste buds with a flavoursome spice kick. Upon viewing the menu it was noticed that there was a starter of peanuts for $2 and that all proceeds donated to the Fred Hollow's Foundation. Great to see a restaurant giving back and we happily obliged. Upon further viewing of the menu, the honey roasted paneer instantly stood out as a dish to order and that instinct proving correct, as it was an excellent option. The soft shell crab was another top option with the spicy chilli achar providing that flavoursome bang along with some welcomed sweetness. There were many hits amongst the starters, the briyani arancini another quality option. The Tandoori Lamb cutlets are a must, they were perfectly cooked, the spice and herbs combining for some more bang and amazing flavour. We love a good Korma and the oven roasted, spiced duck was the pick of the mains. The meat perfectly prepared very enjoyable dipped in that rich sweetness of the korma. This was excellent dining experience with tasty food and equally tasty wine and good service. It was enjoyed in a nice setting with great company where_do_i_eat_pete and eatwithmyfoodsafari.
