The food was unappetizing, tasteless and unauthentic. Both the gravies we ordered after consulting the waiter turned out to be very similar. Also the naans were uncooked. Considering we were the only 4 people in the restaurant at that time we expected much better service. Disappointing.

We went to this restaurant with some friends on a Friday night. The restaurant itself is in a very good central location at Circular Quay - that is the only positive of this restaurant. The restaurant itself seems very dirty like they don't mobe the tiled floors. There are little fruit flies or other types of bugs flying around. The... More

Never recommend to anyone and won't go there again. The Food, Service and especially the behaviour of the staff and the manager was total let down.

I was on a business trip and decided to club work and pleasure. I booked myself and would not regret my decision. There was a tremendous spirit of the forthcoming 2012. A 3 course buffet was laid out and enjoyed every moment. Since I was alone made a few friends and joined the fun. I have been there a few... More

Oh dear! Quite the worst Indian food I have ever experienced. I really do not know how a restaurant can continue in business serving food such as this. We made a reservation at 5 o'clock when we were pretty ravenous and fancied a curry. Big mistake. Firstly, there was no need to make a reservation; we were the only people... More

We went here twice and both the times, the service was poor. Food on the other hand was pretty tasty.

The food is terrible, the interiors are a let down, the service is not any better! My partner and I went there to celebrate Diwali (an Indian festival) by having a nice Indian meal. But that was all spoiled by the poor food and experience.

Very conveniently located - right at the end of Alfred Street on Circular Quay. Visited this place on a couple of ocassions with my family during my 2 weeks of stay in Sydney. The best part is that the last order is taken at 22:30hrs, which suited us as we would head for this place after spending some time at... More

Did not want to write a review but looking at the other review felt it was not justified for the service and food that we enjoyed. The food was authentic, flavoursome and gravy was so thick that dipping it in the soft naan, could not be better. We ordered soft drinks, beer, wine, starters and mains for a family of... More

This place is terrible!! We dined here because it was close to our hotel. In hindsight we should have hopped on a train or cab over to Darling Harbour and dined at Zaffran (it is waaaaay better) The wait staff at india Quay were confrontational with a table sat behind us - all because he ordered a chicken tikka and...
