Very delicious. I will go there often. The service is warm and thoughtful. Western food and curry are delicious. Especially salmon. Legs of mutton. Very delicious

We went again last night and I tried the Chicken Schnitzel (my usual go to is the Butter Chicken Hot) Everyone around here knows the Indian dishes Lucky puts out are the best. The Schnitzel was a beautifully cooked, succulent and juicy breast fillet with a lovely mushroom sauce. We tried the Lollipop Chicken as an entree and that was lovely as well. Crispy sweet and spicy! The staff coped well as it was an almost full Bistro and many others outside enjoying the balmy evening overlooking the water. Great to see that for a mid weeknight. I was envious of the Pork Ribs at the next table so I will be trying that next week!

Place is nice, busy, good atmosphere starters were ok to good. Garlic prawns were more a spice covered sauce than garlic but the ciabatta and dips was tasty. The mains were sadly a huge let down. Scotch fillet had oil floating on top of the juice (of which where was a surprising amount so not rested properly before serving) which in turn was curdling the blue cheese sauce. Tasted like olive oil dressing, that plus the now going lumpy cheese did not make for appetising flavour. Lamb shank and veggies were tepid, obviously made first out of the two mains. Tried eating it but it was cold within meaning the heat or lack thereof was from the heat lamp. Shame as we had been recommended to come here. We left our mains and left. Timing, resting and refraining from dressing something that doesn't need dressed would have made all the difference.

I can’t even give the place a 1. Waited 2 hours for our pizza only to get it shortly after as the French bartender at the time of our order, who turned out to be a waiter too, hadn’t put our order into the kitchen which was very busy! Rang the manager when home who hung up on me & wouldn’t listen to how angry I was about how we had been treated! Wouldn’t go there again. Asked for 2 plates after the pizza finally arrived, never mind the fries! Not happy at all knowing how long these things take to cook & being told that our order never made it to the kitchen. Are we meant to be happy with that! I told the French guy who took our order that if I was his boss, I’d fire him! He obviously didn’t think that people who had ordered & because of his inability didn’t get the order to the kitchen were a priority! We never got anything but an apology & frankly that is NOT good enough! Will never go back there again, ever! I will report the establishment as under the consumer act, they have failed terribly! DON’T GO THERE! Management & staff don’t give a hoot about their clientele. I could go in about how I asked after an hour where our pizza was but was given a lame excuse!

Third week in a row where they accept my order online, I pay for it and then they can’t deliver and was hung up on twice when following up. Have to wait a few days to get refunded. This used to be my go to place and had once a week for a curry, but will be going elsewhere from now on. India Village in Manly deliver every time without issue. Wanted to support local but this service makes it very hard to do so.

I was there celebrating a birthday with friends, staff was lovely, good service, food was yummy , my only complaint is you can't show in the menu that mains are coming with two sides and then the waitress said the menu is wrong only one side is included. That is wrong!

This place was a real surprise as I did not expect the Indian food to be sooooo good. One of the best places for curry and the chefs special goat curry was so yummy. The beef curry with a coconut base was also worth ordering.Ordered the chicken lollipop, calamari, kids fish nuggets and chips and everything was perfect.Butter Naan and chocolate brownie with ice cream was also fantastic.Can't fault any of the items ordered.Spoke to one of the staff who said the place was under new management so definitely a must try for some top quality Indian food.Service was also fast and friendly.
