Flavour of India Edgecliff

Flavour of India is a proud restaurant institution in Sydney, often referred to as the best Indian restaurant in Sydney - our menu captures flavours and cooking styles from every corner of the beautiful continent that is India.

Tripadvisor community, you've failed me for the first time.
# 2 (out of 2000) in all of Sydney in the moderately priced category? You can do better.
Context: 7 Keralite Indians looking forward to a delicious last meal in Sydney but was deeply disappointed.
Service: Hard to enjoy when the staff seem angry and snapping at each other.
Food: Why did the chicken Tikka masala have curry leaf in it but the dishes that are supposed to have it not have any?

We ordered the chicken Tikka masala, butter chicken, Kerala beef, green curry fish, and special Dahl.
I have to be honest: none of the dishes met my expectation for the #2 restaurant in Sydney (out of 2000 ). I wouldn't have placed it even in the top 500.

Thai Pothong

Reviewed By Julie M - Ryde, Australia

Took close friends here to farewell them back home to Canada, also my birthday. One of the best Thai restaurants I have been to. Alex our waiter was attentive and very friendly - along with all the staff. The cocktails were amazing and the food exceptional! And then there was the surprise birthday gift and dessert - with a happy birthday song by staff. Don't let the size of restaurant fool you - the service, food and the buzz the restaurant had was second to none. Then the $$$$ to spend at their gift store was amazing. We will certainly recommend. Thank you to all.

Chose this location after checking other reports on Trip Advisor. Highly rated with lovely food and excellent service. Chose the banquet for 2 for choice and had take away left for next day, still delicious. Went on rainy Sunday night, still very busy, best to book beforehand. Highly recommend.

MO Surry Hills

Killer coffee, incredible food and a relaxed vibe right in the heart of Surry Hills. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Reviewed By Liz W - Stafford, England, United Kingdom

First morning in Sydney after long haul flight from UK. Found this place round the corner from where we are staying. Inconspicuous outside, inside, light, clean and chilled atmosphere, obviously popular with locals. Friendly service, greeted straightaway and invited to choose a table. Great choice of freshly cooked breakfast. We chose the full cooked breakfast, and smashed avocado on toasted sour dough bread. Good presentation and perfect cooked poached eggs. A good brew of tea with proper leaves.

est.

Set within a beautiful heritage dining room with soaring white columns and luxurious accoutrements, est. delivers dining on a grand scale. Executive head chef Peter Doyle is renowned for his trademark contemporary Australian food, which is uncluttered, seasonally driven and executed with French-influenced precision. Supporting Peter is Jacob Davey, whom was hand picked for the distinguished est. team after winning the Young Australian Chef of the Year at the Electrolux Appetite for Excellence Award in 2013. Add award winning service and an acclaimed wine list personally selected by Franck Moreau MS, and you just know est. is going to be a dining experience not to be missed and long remembered.

We were welcomed into the amazing space by each member of a team looking after our table and we felt comfortable (and impressed) from the moment we walked in. The sommelier and waiters knew their stuff and gave excellent recommendations with patience and a sense of humour. We chose each course from the Chef's menu and were not disappointed with any of our selections. The atmosphere and experience in general (on top of the fact that we were celebrating a business milestone) made for a perfect and memorable evening. Would recommend for anyone looking for a special dining experience in Sydney. Booking online was easy too.

William Blue Dining

Reviewed By carlakesthlm - Stockholm

We had a just superb dinner experience here provided with young and enthusiastic services. The three course dinner was very good and well performed and the service with a smile, but of course a bit uncertain and not fully up to high standard. However well supported by a personal smile and the small little misstake was immediately compensated.
I would say this is "a not to be missed" opportunity in Sydney, if you would like to experience good food and service to a moderate price and you don't need the 100% perfection.
I hope the initiative will continue.

Pizza Boccone

Reviewed By Ramnod

On the strength of trip advisor reviews we visited Pizza Boccone whilst in Sydney. We were determined to have the antipasto and were very helpfully advised to go for the small rather than the large if we were going to have pizza too.
In fact, we probably could have been advised that one pizza would suffice, they’re generously sized and topped. We had the fighi and the capri and brought half of each home with us.
It’s only a small place so be prepared to wait and/or served quickly.

Bulletin Place

Reviewed By ChiefsBTB - Sydney, Australia

This is the kind of place that should require a self imposed non disclosure agreement. It's a small intimate cocktail bar with a constantly changing drinks list.
We enjoyed our cocktail creations and the friendly atmosphere before moving on to the spanish place next door. They do some great boozy and interesting cocktails here. Recommend you get there early as the word out and it's a smallish place.
