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.

Three of us decided we'd go for Indian food and in Crows Nest there are at least five to choose…read morefrom - all with pretty darn good offerings. So we were on our way making a bee line on the Pacific Highway to one of my fave Indian eateries - the Malabar and I was looking forward to their lovely dosai lentil pancakes when the word 'Nepalese' caught our eye. A blackboard sign out front shouted 3 courses for $26. Hmmm tempting. Our foodie friend from Adelaide was super keen and so peeking inside and seeing it did not look very crowded we imagined us getting great service and quick food. And yes happy to say that's exactly what happened. The first course we were served the most delectable little dumplings with a gorgeous tangy creamy spicy sauce - so fresh and unique - never had anything like this before. Seems like we've stumbled into something good I thought. So good in fact that I could not stop myself licking the plate - just like my mother told me not to. How could I resist one last taste before the waiter came to take away the entree plates. The mains arrived presented in a colony of bowls - the wonderful dark aromatic goat curry, the golden coloured spicy saucy chicken curry and a crazy muted coloured dhal - very soupy and more like a broth. And wholemeal roti piping hot and rice too dotted with green peas. Superb combination of tastes. We ate the lot. Perfect size portions and left us with a teeny bit of room for the dessert - the amazing Carrot Pudding. So creamy and sweet with the grated carrot adding a texture that was totally different to anything I've had before. Everything about Jatra was great - friendly service, beautiful food, good size servings and value for money. We'll be back.

I know it seems weird to be excited for another Indian (or Japanese) restaurant in Neutral Bay as…read moreit seems like that is what the majority of Neutral Bay dining options are, but this is truly a welcome restaurant to the scene. It is nice to go to a place to specializes in a specific region of India as a country of billions has more diverse food options than most Australians realize. I went with a group of 6 on New Years eve and we had a mixture of dishes and were really happy with our pre-NYE meal. We had some mushroom dish which was amazing and even my friend who never had Indian was surprised with how much he enjoyed the meal. We also got a few different lamb dishes (I cannot remember the names and will write them down next time I eat there). After our quick meal, my wife and I want to come back and have a full meal in the future.

We got there really early because we were heading to the opera that night and we wanted to make sure we had time to dine and enjoy the experience.

It's an experience. I highly recommend.

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.

Generous portions, excellent service and flavoursome food…read more Mehfil is a local gem, located within the hub of restaurants along pacific hwy in Gordon. 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.

Back to Glebe a suburb full of choice when it comes to dining out. We were fortunate to visit a gem…read moreof an Indian restaurant called Bombay Street Kitchen. 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.
