Hi all,
There are SO many Indian restaurants in Sydney, but many of them are quite ordinary with a few exceptions, fortunately!
The following are my favorites, along with what I like there -
- Raavi's Cumin, Crows Nest (Kashmiri Naan - Yummmm, Saagwala Lamb, Paneer Makhani, Malai Kofta)
- Nilgiris, St. Leonards (Very dynamic menu, but Dosas are the best!). Raavi's and Nilgiris are in a league of their own, btw!
- Kammadhenu, Newtown and Neutral Bay (Huge selection of Dosas - not as good as Nilgiris but worth a shot if in that area). I'd stay stick to the Dosas, Roti Chinai, and Kotthu Paratha if you go there.
- Faheem's, Newtown. For the BEST tandoori chicken (and unfortunately the not-so-good curries) go to Faheem's. Just stick to the tandoori stuff including meat and naans and you'll be all right. If you come back without trying the Tandoori Fish (quite hard to make because fish is very delicate as opposed to chicken so Tandoor-cooking it takes *some* skill)
- Maya's Dhaaba, Surry Hills.
BTW, the worst restaurants that I have been to, in Sydney, are:
- All India Restaurant, Balmain - The manager is this rude rude woman and the mains are horrible :(
- Mantra, Top ryde - Another example of how bad service ruins the mood - food's average, but the waiters are probably movie actors researching their roles, or at least they have the egos to show that.
P.S. Please feel free to leave YOUR favorite (or the ones you really dislike and would like people to stay away from) restaurant(s) as a comment!
Great, now I am hungry!

May I suggest a work meal from one of these fine establishments :)
Malabar's in Darlinghurst is nice! Maya De Dhaaba in Surry is excellent!

Maya Da Dhaba was quite good indeed.
