Poor old Lyn's gets a bad press and it's not really deserved. We eat here regularly and are very fond of it. Some of the criticisms others have levelled at it are true: yes, the food takes a l-o-o-o-o-n-g time to come, especially when the restaurant's busy; yes, the owner is a bit bonkers; yes, it's more expensive than other...

I ordered take out from here over the phone and was given a wait time of 40 min. When I arrived at the restaurant 40 mins later my food wasn't ready. I waited a further 15 minutes. I noticed some diners looked like they had been waiting for quite some time. I had the tandoori chicken (1 portion), 1 naan... More

Myself and my Girlfriend (both Indian food lovers) dined here for two nights in a row on 3rd & 4th June 2011 and on both occasions found the food to be authentic, original and of the highest quality, the service to be prompt, efficient & friendly. My girlfriend, as a vegetarian, was very impressed by the large selection of the... More

Yes - the decor and ambience isn't all that...but have you ever found an Indian restaurant where it is all that? The food (the main reason you go to a restaurant for?) was excellent - their comprehensive menu attests to the fact that great care and years of experience has been put into achieving a great standard of dishes. I've... More

I ate here as it was close to the hotel. Food was tasty north indian food and I especially enjoyed a paratha that came fresh from the tandoor.

I visited Lyn's Tandoori Restaurant last night (Dec 18 2010). It was disappointing. The owner was not present so I cannot comment on above reviews about political discussion. Atmosphere - nil. Decore - poor with a whole bunch of different colored chairs and table cloths. An assault on the eyes. Toilets - very clean and even my wife would be... More

We really enjoyed eating in this restaurant. The food was well seasoned and very tasty. We agree with the other reviewers that for Malaysian prices it was expensive but not enough to put us off. The staff was friendly and welcoming and it was good to be able to watch the very enthusiastic chefs at work.

The food is expensive by Kuching standards, given the basic decor and setup. By European standards it is cheap. They have a reasonable selection of vegetarian dishes; not easy to get in the Kuching CBD. We enjoyed our meal. We would have enjoyed it much more if the person in charge had not harangued us with his rather weird political... More

If you are looking for Indian food in Kuching you won't find much choice. However, this restaurant is definitely expensive for the portion size and the quality of the food served. The owner and the staff were far too pushy for my liking. Definitely not recommended!
