Newtown North Indian Diner,

196 King Street, Newtown NSW 2042, Australia

"Prices are steeper than the usual Indian diners I frequent. Added to this I got charged ‘meat prices’ because I ordered palak paneer and apparently ‘it costs more to make’. I asked where it was stated on the menu… and they directed me to a little label in the bain-marie which wasn’t where I was looking to order. A bit stingy tbh"

"The best!! One of my favourite restaurants in Sydney. Good energy. Good service and great food. I’ve been vegan, vegetarian and meat eater and always have something to eat. Highly recommend if you want a yummy casual bite alone or with friend!!"

"my impression was that there may be a recent change of ownership - inside seems more stripped down, cutlery made available with meal, didn't see tap water available. meal option signs at the front of the counter below the food aren't helpful - can't be seen easily when people waiting to be served. should be up on the wall behind the staff, as the signs were in past. food variety is great, and fairly cheap fast and cheerful (lets be realistic that ingredient costs in all kinds of food have risen signficantly)"

"The Mango Lassi was nice. The portion sizes were slightly overwhelming. Only gave it the number of stars it deserved because I’m not too fussed on Indian flavours. The female server didn’t seem really welcoming either. Should work on the smile."

"we used to frequent the one in Oxford St - Newtown is out of my usual zone - I just happened to be there one day - the aromas of spices - ah ! authentic to me (I've spent months travelling in India) - delicious - I can't wait to go back - thinking of how to invent reasons to 'happen' to be in the area again soon ... [update] a mystery - we came here on Thursday 21/6/18 and enjoyed delicious aromatic authentic meals like I'd had in India - we came back the following Friday 29/6/18 looking to enjoy the same, and instead got bland, flavorless meals of quite different appearance, even vegetables cut differently and so disappointing - I assume must have been cooked by a different person. So - don't know - but if that's a regular roster, I'll recommend eat on Thursdays, avoid on Fridays !"
