    As with most curry houses in Sydney, hot means medium. But unlike most others the curry is excellent. My recommendation is the prawn balchao or the chicken chetinad. Call ahead for special vege orders

    Decent indian food. I really enjoyed their mallagu prawns, very good flavours. Gulab jamoon in the desserts was just perfect with the ice cream, a must try.

    Lunch thali is really good! Not shown on the QR code menu, so you’d need to ask for it. More expensive than Kammadhenu, but similar in taste

    Incredible food, cheese naan is delicious and the chicken curry was very light and very flavoursome. Loved it.

    Fresh Indian food that won't feel heavy even after compulsively eating many naans - also best fish curry and palak paneer!

    Very friendly service at this cozy Darlinghurst Indian restaurant. Can't go past the Chicken Makhani with some Garlic naan.

    Really incredible Indian food! Best I’ve had in years... or ever?! Not the touristy place I guessed by the location.

    One of the best Curry houses in Sydney. Beware it is best to book on weekend night as it gets very busy. My favourite, Lamb Varutha.

    Definitely try the chicken Chettinad! But be sure they're serving the Malabar paratha on the day :)

    All about the butter chicken and beef vindaloo! Ask for spicy if you want an extra kick.

    Don't order the goat, it's all bones & fatty pieces. Lots of work and no payoff! Order the Lamb curry (mild) it's great.

    Goan Fish Curry - is the GOD of all curries. Don't touch the crunchy salad. It's the Devil.
