We have been here a few times over the last couple of years as part of a large family group. There is a range of ages and tastes but we all seem to get what we want. Butter Chicken and Malabar Prawn are the favourites washed down with mango lassi. Parking can be a problem but once you are there you can checkout the street food and other shops. We like to sit and have our meal then go for a walk. The kids like the ice cream/gelato/yoghurt ice blocks. read more

Hmmm, in a word .... underwhelmed. As part of a group of 25 I came here for a Saturday lunch. We had been discussing Thali on our morning walk so I was surprised when there were none on the menu. Some if the group ordered individual dishes, but the usual sharing of dishes didn't look like it was on the agenda. So I pursued the Thali idea .... a little of many flavours. Orders arrived for the others but for the 5 Thali orders we received the empty sectioned platters. Waiting, waiting. The waitress then came to deliver pickles, pappadams & yoghurt. Then in the next round she brought curries & naans. And then a dessert. Yes, I was hungry. No, nothing wowed me. In fact I only nibbled at the courses. The waitress reappeared offering to refill any empty areas of our platters. Aaah, this is what she meant by Buffet. Refills!!! As I had eaten so little no refills were needed by me or the diner opposite me. Return? Probably not, as there are so many other places to try in the Harris Park 'Little India' hub. read more

Customer service at 'Not Just Curries' was really good, staff were nice and pleasant. I came tonight just to eat a few entrée dishes: - Samosa (2 piece/$8) - Papdi chaat ($8) The Papdi Chaat came out first within a few minutes, this dish did not taste like it should, it was too sweet and not complex in traditional Papdi Chaat flavor. The Samosa took way longer, I had to ask a waiter to grab it from the kitchen, this took a minute. The Samosa was nice. I will come again, only because I want to try out there Main dishes, the last chance is near ;) read more

Not Just Curries - Very busy - Indian Near Me - Harris Park, NSW

First time here and in Harris Park. Enjoyed my curry (vegetarian with mild spices) and the others in my party enjoyed a goat briyani. Staff were nice and attentive; overall happy with the service. I did however find my dish quite oily however was happy with the level of spice (I asked for mild). It was a weeknight so not too busy but a decent number of groups coming in and out. I certainly would go again to try some different dishes. Seemed like good quality Indian food to me and popular as well. read more

Food is good everytime but they didn't make good matar paneer and samosa chat was also not upto the mark as dahi and tamarind chutney were less. read more

Not Just Curries - Indian Near Me - Harris Park, NSW

Hmmmm so this was an interesting one. On Trip Advisor, this restaurant is ranked number 3/6,755 restaurants in greater Sydney. Forgive me if I was expecting (almost) the best that greater Sydney has to offer. Expectations were high. Particularly given that it's neighbour, Ginger Indian restaurant, has the best naan bread I have ever eaten in my life, hands down. The ambience was a bit strange, there was relatively loud techno music playing when we entered and it had a fairly jazzy vibe. The place also wasn't packed, which I found odd given it was a Monday night and many of its neighbour restaurants were closed. The decor was very simple - it just didn't appear to be all that (trying not to judge by first impressions!!) However, the food and Service were pretty good. In fact, the wait staff did do a lot to make sure that we were enjoying our meal and the Malabar Curry prawns were really tasty. Palak Paneer was also very good with just enough spice. The entree was pretty average (Dahi Puri) mainly because it was served cold and I was expecting piping hot pastry puffs filled with potato and spinach. It was mainly filled with yoghurt and tamarind sauce with some dried peas in amongst a soupy mess. The entree was my only complaint. However, I find it strange that this ranks so highly elsewhere... Although there was a sign that the place was under new management so maybe its predecessors were mainly responsible. Worth a try if you're looking for something other than Ginger. Try not to be too disappointed by the naan bread. read more

This place does some good solid traditional Indian food. There were a few items on the menu that sounded a bit different hence our desire to try this place instead of the other places that line the main drag in Harris Park - or little India. There's a whole heap of seating available inside and outside. There's booth style as well as table. There's glittery lights out the front as well as a wee white picket fence. Toilets are behind the kitchen and there's an ATM here as well. The food was true to form, just not much to write about as I didn't find it anything that really wow'd me at all. Which is a bit sad to be honest, but at least you know what you're getting tastes as it should. It just doesn't have the flavours or surprises that I'd hoped it did. For some reason when we went to pay the guy behind the counter didn't want to take my card and made me go to the back of the restaurant to withdraw cash. Maybe this is a regular occurrence for them, but it just annoyed me that I couldn't pay with card for a dinner that was about $150. Seriously guys? You're going to charge me $7 for using my card and I get charged $3.50 for using the ATM? This is where this place lost stars for me. I just found it a bit rude and to be honest it just felt all kinds of wrong - never mind that friends and partners were waiting outside for me to finish inside and it took about 15 minutes to pay. Which it shouldn't. Apart from that however, I can't wait to try other places in Harris Park and report back. I had no idea how many Indian resturants there were here! read more

An impromptu lunch on a Monday! Inside the decor is lovely and it is quite spacious inside. We were undecided about what to order so ended up being told what to order by the boss lol. We had a chicken dish and cauliflower dish for the entree which was nice. For the main, we had the butter chicken with a twist and the malabar prawns. I liked the butter chicken better than the malabar prawns. The highlight was the lacha paratha! The bread was so tasty! The restaurant didn't knock me off my socks but it wasn't too bad either. read more

Summary: Pathetic value for money, small portion sizes, substandard taste & haughty management attitude. Definitely not worth a second visit.) We (5 adults 3 children) visited on 22nd of October 2016. Wanted to try a different Indian restaurant & so based on reviews, especially the one on Trip Advisor, we decided to try it out. It was a mistake & a costly one. After spending 20 minutes for a place to park, I finally managed to reach this place. The ambiance was good, the waiters / ushers/ servers were very warm, cordial & well mannered. It did not smell of your typical Indian curry smell, though the fumes from the frequently served sizzler trays were an occasional annoyance. The furniture and decor is pretty much all in good shape and condition and that's where the good experience ends Let's talk about the menu. There was very little choice on the menu however from experience that could mean extremely great quality of food with great attention to detail on every dish. Well, this was not the case. The name is misleading as well. I thought Not Just Curries would mean and experience out of the ordinary but that's just a fallacy. Entrees: Let me start from the entrees/starters. The portion size was small for a gathering of 6-7 people and that's the reason we ordered more entrees. Chilli chicken in particular was off, smelt different and we had to leave it unconsumed. Out of all the entries the only one acceptable was the Adraki Lamb Chop. Rest of the starters were absolutely below par. They might taste good to an unsuspecting customer who has no clue about Indian cuisine & doesn't know the difference between Chicken Tikka and Masaala Chicken. However for a person with a good taste of Indian food or a one looking for authentic Indian food, this is a far cry & a complete disappointment. The portion size is too small compared to the upmarket pricing. I'm amazed to see how people are paying the price given the fact that around this restaurant there are Indian restaurants galore, serving much better food than being served here. Presentation: In my opinion, small menu equates to good quality food with an equally amazing presentation .However the presentation was absolutely sub standard. We serve food with a better presentation even in our homes. The plates were your typical $2 Kmart plates totally & a substandard scratchy cutlery. You would be looking for a better experience for the money you are paying. Moving on to the main course - again the portion size vs price was a mismatch. Most of the main course was a big dampener. Frankly, if an Indian restaurant gets Rogan Josh wrong, it's a pity. It's just like an Italian restaurant getting a simple pasta dish, wrong. The Rogan Josh almost tasted like goat curry & we had to send back the same and get lamb curry instead. The torture continued - the goat curry and the goat pieces were never married together. It seemed as if the goat pieces were thrown into the curry at the last moment and heated up. Again, that taste might be acceptable to people who have no clue about Indian food, however that's a slap in the face when it comes to Indian food. The lamb pieces were more chewy than a Porterhouse steak cooked well done. Another joke was a dish called Delhi Style Butter Chicken (hot), which basically, is supposed to be a spicy version of the good old Australian butter chicken version. For some amazing reason, they manage to get this wrong as well. It was hardly spicy and tasted more of tomato curry than a blend of all the flavours which normally emanate from the good old butter chicken. (A message to all my Aussie mates: 90% of Butter Chicken served in Oz is the fake version) The curry base of the 'Methi Murg' a green herby chicken was ok, but it was apparent that the chicken pieces were thrown into the pre cooked base at the last moment and were pinkish on the inside. Nobody ate that and was wasted. We really love our bread in an Indian restaurant, however it was a disappointment as well. The 'Lachha Parantha' was too thick and undercooked in the centre. It was apparent that the guy manning the tandoor ( clay oven) was either inexperienced or was churning out food too fast. The service was very fast and that's where lain the main problem. Food was sent out very quickly in order to keep the tables moving at the cost of quality. But thats not an excuse. Most restaurants are busy on a Saturday evening. There is not even a single dish that was worth remembering. The Chai or Indian tea in the end was in the last series of pain and torture. It was sweet beyond compare and almost served as a dessert. It was definitely not made fresh & was apparently stored & poured from a storage container .To all of you who have been there and think that's the real Chai - I assure you it's not. I do not know whether restaurants normally charge a cake serving charge, however they charged us $8 for 8 of our guests (kids included) because we cut a cake there. I have never been charged read more

Nice ambiance and helpful staff. authentic indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian restaurant. Punjabi / North side food dishes are tasty and perfectly cooked. Would certainly go again. ***Updated Review - August 2016 This time I tried unlimited Vegetarian Thali, Truly good taste and good service !!! read more

Visited this restaurant with my wife and friends. I had ordered lamb biriyani what I had received wasn't biriyani at all they basically just put lamb curry through pulao and tried to pass it as 'Lamb Biriyani'. It was quite overpriced as well. Went to visit this restaurant seeing all the good reviews but it didn't live up to it's expectations at all. Very disappointed with the quality of the food. Definitely not visiting again. read more

Went here for our anniversary dinner and ordered achaari paneer tikka and aloo tikki chat as starters. The marination on tikka tasted extremely bitter and was one of the most horrible ones I've ever had. And aloo tikki had no tikki in it. They just kept bland mashed potatoes together and covered with curd and chutneys. Never had this kind of 'tikki' in my life. When we called the staff to express concerns, they argued with us instead, including the owner, by saying this is how we do it, eat it or throw it. Main course curries had almost no salt and we had to ask for that separately. After paying a hefty bill for disappointing food, we vowed never to visit this restaurant again. Worst restaurant for north indian food in NSW. read more

Came here with a group of friends from interstate. The owner was really friendly and gave us a few recommendation. One of the recommended dish is Khatte Aloo Baingan. I must say that none of us are impressed with this dish in particular. First of all it was too dry. Secondly it tastes more like Italian dish as the tomato is too overpowering the spice is lacking and worse thing is it doesn't taste fresh. All other dish we tried are just so so.Nothing to write home about. read more

This is probably the closes I have goyten to authentic Indian I usually eat in Delhi. Obviously not as great but the best yet near sydney

This is probably my favourite Indian restaurant in Australia. Absolutely fantastic, especially love the butter chicken!

Service and food was great. We had chicken curry, butter chicken, methi chicken, and garlic naan. Food tasted good but didn't fancy the methi chicken ( it was ok to try but I wouldn't recommend it). All in all, I would recommend this place. read more
