Great little Indian restaurant on the Hampden Strip in Artarmon…read more I got the Special of two curries with rice - Mushroom vegetable and the famous butter chicken. Hmmm this is as close ill get to India! In addition they have naan bread's and samosas! you can get 3 vegetarian samosas for $5. That is $1.67 each! Not bad! They have tables indoors or alfresco seating and take away. Great addition the the many food outlets on this street and is perfect when you want something different.

I'm jealous, Sydney…read more I get that y'all are the land of Master Chef, the land of expats and a multi cultural crowd - but seriously, putting out delicious entree after entree is a bit much for this reviewer who has experienced mediocre Indian food in Austin TX. It can't be right that your veg biryani hit all the right spots, that your dosa actually tasted like something I'd make at home (it's a compliment, trust me) and the sambar took me back to Saravana Bhavan in Chennai (I can give no higher praise) It's also not fair that your paneer pepper entree was a perfect interpretation of the Chettinad style. Damn. Hot damn. I'd take the train to St Leonard's and dine here no matter how far off I stayed.

This restaurant is located on the pacific highway at crows nest which hides it from mainstream…read morerestaurants. I have been back several times, most recently on 1 February 2022. Over the last 3 years the standard of food and service has been second to none. Very traditional, family owned and operated and always welcoming. I had the Chettinad Chicken -cooked to perfection and melts in the mouth. My mate John had the beef vindaloo(hot) , again very tasty. if you are looking for that traditional Indian cuisine, do yourself a favour and get to Last Train to Bombay. Heres to tradition John (Brisbane)

The location is good and it has a bottle shop across the road, which is handy if they don't have what you prefer on their menu. This place is very kid friendly. Overall a great dining experience. Favourite dishes: butter chicken, methi chicken (delicious), goat curry and Dal tadka.

Delicious delicious Indian Food with fun folks!…read more Ambiance - 4.5 stars. Very clean and nice, but a little cramped. Lighting is bright and refreshing, so you can see your food and your guests clearly. The noise level is perfect for dinner conversation. Service - 5 stars. It's nice to see the owner/chef and if wife often appear serving the dishes and talking with guests directly. Meera is a sweet lady who gives excellent advice on what to try if you're looking to be a bit adventurous and stray from the absolutely fantastic butter chicken and garlic naan staples (just add more, don't neglect these two stars). Food - 4.8 stars. Hands down one of the best Indian Restaurants I've been to. .2 stars off because the lamb was ever so slightly overcooked, but honestly the chicken and everything else was perfectly creamy, spicy, delicious, yummy, and just basically wonderful. Must haves include the garlic naan, the butter chicken, and if you like chai, their chai tea as a dessert is aromatic and delicate. Drink - 4 stars. Not a large selection of drinks, but definitely a solid 4 stars simply because their chai tea is that good. Recommendations - Any of their chicken dishes, they all shine. Garlic naan. Haven't tried the other naan, but the garlic is just so good. Chai Tea, because it is very spot on. Come in a small party of no more than four people total ~ I wouldn't recommend the place for larger groups than that. Make reservations, this place is justifiably busy most days. Takeaway is stellar, don't worry about getting a lower quality dish because you ordered it takeaway.

Overall: The food is decent for the Circular Quay area and…read moresatisfies the craving for Indian food while exploring the harbor side. 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.

Always packed on Friday nights, the gf and I decided to try takeaway & I'm grateful I did! Veggie samosas were punchy and spicy, with a great balance of starch and texture. Crisp and fresh, not overly potatoey like some others. Good stuff. We scoffed it down before I had a chance to take a photo... Garlic naan. Would you like some naan with that garlic? From the first bite the garlic hits you with its deliciously pungent aroma. They really don't skimp on the garlic here. Naan is more on the fluffy side rather than thin n crisp, really is personal preference. Great for soaking up the curry though. Rice is fluffy and fresh. Butter chicken is deliciously tender with bits of char to give it some character. Less sweet and more tangy than your average butter chicken. Very nice. Pardon the poor quality photos. We were too busy eating...

Started with papadams and mint dip, then a colliflower starter with a wonderful sauce and salad. For mains we had vegetables with a butter chicken type sauce and a prawn Balti and rice. What is great is that they know not to put coriander leaf on anything, even as a garnish, as we both detest the stuff and they make it to whatever heat level you like. We finished with a mango culfe to share. So long as they maintain their standard we will keep coming back.
