Everything was a hit! I loved the aloe vera cocktail & the alcoholic slushees here!! My favorite dish was the (kingfish) and the (strange flavor burrata) you gotta have the burrata with the (grilled bread). Wow, those flavors were a party in my mouth. I absolutely love the food here, it never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Was here 11 years ago in 2013 and glad it hasn’t changed that much. Still vibing on a Saturday night.
Food:
Starters - banh mi, spring rolls, oysters.
Nice and tasty all round.
Smaller dishes - king fish was really nice. Egg plant was ok. Prawn toast was ok too. Nothing spectacular. Burrata was nice with bread.
Larger dishes - trout was very nice. Might have been my highlight of the night. Duck was good abit drier than I liked but presented well. And the tasty AF noodles was too salty I thought. Definately flavour there but might be abit too much to create a nice balance. That was the only dish that was left unfinished.
Desert - stoners was nice. Refreshing after all that food.
Overall - still a great place to hang out and enjoy good food.

Looking for a culinary adventure in Sydney? Look no further than Ms. Gs! This vibrant eatery offers a fusion of Asian flavors that will blow your taste buds away. Start with their inventive appetizers and move on to the mouthwatering steak, all bursting with unique, bold tastes. The dessert is the perfect cherry on top, leaving you craving for more.
However, while the food was top-notch, the service left something to be desired. We had a hiccup with our group payment, and despite the system's capability, the staff wouldn’t accommodate our request for a refund on a mistaken charge. It was a bit of a letdown to an otherwise stellar meal. But if you're here for the food, Ms. Gs delivers in spades!

I’ve had so many fantastic dining experiences at Ms G! The variety of flavours and dishes is truly impressive, making it hard to choose just one. The cheeseburger spring rolls are a must-try—they’re absolutely delicious and unlike anything I've had before! The burrata is wonderfully creamy and just hits the spot. The DJ adds a lively vibe that really enhances the atmosphere, and the staff are always amazing, providing top-notch service with a smile. I’ve been many times and can’t wait to return in November for more great food and good vibes!

This is what you call a fine dining restaurant. Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Great place to bring a loved one or your family. From start to finish the service was excellent and the food was delicious. We had a great time celebrating my parents wedding anniversary and we weren't disappointed. Tried a few items on the menu which were cooked to perfection. Perfect South Indian flavours with the right amount of heat and spices. Great job guys 👏

Always such a pleasure to have family dinner here. The flavours, freshness and the spice balance is just perfect. Hospitality always comes with a smile and just love the atmosphere. We have come here multiple times and just bookmark it as our go-to place. Thank you

Outstanding service, food and attention to detail! We celebrated a special occasion here, with 6 in our party. We were greeted graciously by the wait staff. Tables featured white linen tablecloths, exquisite wine glasses and cutlery and crockery of note. The attention to detail was noticed and appreciated. The menu had a good variety of south Indian dishes, most of which I was aware off. Whilst the prices are much higher than usual for south Indian food, the unique variety of dishes made up for it and were a testament to good south Indian flavours. All dishes ordered were extremely tasty, albeit lacking a little salt. However, they met mine and my guests' expectations. Thank you Malabar for an experience I shall share with my friends and family. I shall be back!

Food was fantastic, we always share. Tried a couple of starters and 3 curry’s. Portions not huge however curry’s are incredibly authentic, tasty and rich in flavour so don’t need to order more than a couple if you have rice breads etc!
We shared a bottle of wine, noticed a lot of other tables BYOB due to corkage being incredibly reasonable, maybe an option for a midweek cheaper dinner!
Really, enjoyed it will be returning again again and again… dangerous that this is a minute walk from our home!!

Dined in for dinner on a Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was delicious and the service was quick and friendly. We really enjoyed the Peshawari Naan - haven't had anything like it before and will definitely be back for more.

Great food and ambience. Lots of options for vegetarians. The cauliflower pakora is simply the best. Clean venue. Friendly staff. Dine on the balcony if possible because the interior can get warm and noisy. The cinema hall has great reclining couches with lots of pillows but it can get frigid so bring a blanket or jacket! Great for date nights!

Not a massive selection because the focus is on ensuring that the buffet is good quality and the food is fresh. Everything I had was delicious. Take small portions at a time and eat until elegantly satisfied. Will definitely be back.

Edit: best and only great veg food in sydney (out of most famous ones on happycow, went to about 15 places)
Great tasting buffet. 28$ for dinner buffet. 5 or so good to great tasting well thought out mains, a curry, amazing and scrumptious fried cauliflower and potato fries of good quality, and the best salads! I saw the quality of the ingredients when I tasted the salad. The vinegar was of good quality and made the whole experience better! I've traveled around europe and ate many many vegan buffets, but this one is by far much much better quality of food, and tastes better because of better attention to flavor, ingredients, and customer experience. Most of the food was seasoned perfectly and felt balanced. It was a great foodie experience! By the way, I disliked all the vegan food I ate this week in sydney if I include quality and taste, but this restaurant is the hope for sydney quality vegan food for middle-class people! As they say in the land down under, top food! Will return on later trips. Great service from reception and kitchen staff! I am an extreme critic, and if I say it's good, it's probably good for most. I extremely recommend this to people who like all kinds of food, including salads. If you like fried, Indian, cooked veggies, salads, and carbs, you will love this place. Only one main with dairy. They make their food fresh, you can obviously feel it from the home quality food, it's really good! Thanks to the staff!! Not overpriced and price to ratio for desserts is surprisingly honest and good! Compared to shift eatery, food is much better price and of a higher quality experience! Great moody interior for dates and high quality feel. Top restaurant and staff!

3.9/5*
The Feed Punchers visited a very unique punch destination, Govindas restaurant and cinema. For $28, there is an all you can eat, vegetarian buffet, incorporating fresh ingredients with a strong Indian influence.
At the start of the buffet line, there were options of white rice, brown rice, pots of soup and dahl. Next came salads, pasta and a variety of vegetable curries, which utilised predominantly; chickpeas, lentils, potato’s and tofu as the staple ingredient.
The stand out favourite for the Feed Punchers was the crispy deep fried cauliflower pakoras, which were golden and perfectly crispy. They were well paired with the tzatziki mint like sauce and the chilli chutney.
Overall, there was a great variety of fresh-vegetarian food in a buffet style. The perfect way to get a feed right before watching a movie. Thankyou Govindas!
Feed Punchers - a year ago
Third time eating here. This time I caught a movie first in the comfy lounge. The vegetarian food is sooo delicious.
Lots of flavours and options of 3 curry’s and a dahl. White and brown rice. X4 salads varieties. Yoghurts, papadams. The western food could have GF options but I wasn’t there for that. Everyone must try!
Friendly wait staff. Although could have done with an extra on the floor as it was a little busy. Beautiful quiet dining experience. Thank you.

Everyone needs to go to Twin Peaks, this is the best restaurant in Sydney. Sure it's a lingerie restaurant but this should be considered a comedy restaurant, the waitresses are absolutely amazing, they look stunning but it's their chat which rules the show, absolutely hilarious night out, nothing but laughter and good times. Thanks for always making it a night to remember.

A friend and I attended this fantastic venue on Saturday 15th. I've got to say I've never been to a place like this and wow!
Let's start with the food. Absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, presented, and served. Next the atmosphere, excellent lighting and sound was on point. Well here is obviously the best part, the service! Absolutely outstanding in all fields, everyone looked and acted like they just love to work there and it certainly showed.
Also there was something about the pepper they used it was excellent 👌. Not to mention their desserts, not sure where they are getting that ice cream from it's definitely not peters!
Let's just say I will be back.
Keep it real legends!!

Got a double from Mel and Foxxy, honestly the best dance I’ve ever had in my life. I am not kidding.

HIGHLY recommend. you will not regret it

Stumbled upon whilst walking along Macleay St and we thought will give it a go. It was not a busy lunch, only a few tables were taken. Taste and presentation were on point, we liked their bento a lot and the gyoza dipping sauce was delicious. Service was so-so!

Good quality traditional Japanese food in the local area. Sashimi is very fresh. The only disappointment was the karage chicken where the flavours were slightly muted. Staff very friendly and would recommend!

Stumbled onto to this and it was a gem find.
The staff were so nice finding us a table as we didn't have a booking.
The food was amazing and seemed to be prepared with care and love.
The sashimi was fresh, the grilled eggplant with two types of miso was so good and the duck was pretty amazing as well.

Wine tasted like it was open since last week.
The tagliatelle pasta was broken was not a great pasta eating experience.
Also the dish needs to change as there is no sauce. So much more opportunity for adding flavour via sauce.
The “stuffed” mushrooms were not stuffed so should probs change the name on the menu.
Aside from that chips were great, prawns were cooked well and deveined which was great. and salt and pepper squid was quite good.

Connected to the Holiday Inn in Potts Point, this restaurant has a great food selection and friendly staff to match. I stayed here for a week and enjoyed every meal that I chose. (You can tell by how I've demolished this burger!)

The Holiday Inn Potts Point in Kings Cross is only a stones throw from the Coca Cola sign. It is an area that is replacing night clubs with a thriving restaurant scene. The Holiday Inn has comfortable rooms with all of the required amenities and the location allowing guests to book rooms overlooking Sydney's famous harbour landscape and cityscape, as well as the botanic gardens. It is a great place to explore Sydney from. The hotel restaurant Siricco caters to visitors and locals alike.
The recently upgraded Sirocco resraurant has a large open kitchen and chic dining space, providing meals through out the day. With the $25 buffet breakfast being a great opportunity to try the honey produced on site by an urban beehive situated on the roof of the hotel. There are also smaller options and ala carte available.
The Sirocco menu has something for everyone with a range of entrees, salads, pizza, pasta and items from the grill. There is also an option to build your own burger. Sirocco also offers reasonably priced meals for hotel guests and locals with $12 daily meal specials $15 with a drink. They have a great drink menu with a great range of alcoholic beverages availible including some nice wines. They also have variety of non alcoholic options including juices, coffee and teas.
The sharing menu is perfect for a group meal or if you are visiting for a corporate event. With some morish starters including the crispy fried salt & pepper calamari, marinated fried chicken and for a healthy touch: the roasted and pickled baby beetroot salad.
For mains, a favourite was the BBQ share platter. With a stack of mouth watering meat options including the BBQ blasted pork ribs, scotch fillet steak and served with onion rings. There is also the tasty grilled Atlantic salmon share plate.
Now for the sweetest thing- dessert. The creamy Baileys Creme Brulee and the di vinely silky Honey Panacotta made with the honey sourced from their own urban beehive situated on the roof of the hotel.
Thanks to The Holiday Inn Potts Point and Sirocco for the hospitality.

The harbor side views from the room, the breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner menus make it impossible to want to leave the hotel! Kids under 12 dine for free and there’s a great feature bar in this open space that gets a lot of natural light.
The new menu is hearty, comforting and an uncomplicated bistro style. A lot of places in Sydney do not allow smoking and it’s kind of refreshing to see designated areas in the outside dining area for this and not the usual shame corner you have to search for in a back alley or side street.
There’s a perfect balance in the CRISPY FRIED SALT & PEPPER SQUID - many places in my opinion go a bit too far with the salty element, but they’ve toned it down here which is really to my preference! The MARINATED FRIED CHICKEN features cornbread, baby rocket and jalapeño aioli and there’s a mix of ideas in this remnant of the deep south of the U.S.A with hints of Latin America, set to guarantee this as a major favorite. Aesthetically, the ROASTED & PICKLED BABY BEETROOT SALAD wins hands down and delivers some seriously tantalizing flavor. Jeweled burgundy beet rough cuts & pearl white blobs of bocconcini on a bed of baby spinach greenery, sprouts of lentil, specks of quinoa is an orgy of texture play with an intermittent crunch from the caramelized walnuts. It’s all bound together with a cooked wine dressing (Vincotto). Exquisite.
Share platters of CHAR GRILLED SCOTCH FILLET & PORK RIBS and GRILLED ATLANTIC SALMON were the perfect mains from land and sea. Chunky cuts of Salmon, large ribs and well cooked steak. It was a smorgasbord of sweet and sour.
The homemade BAILEY’S CREME BRULEE was a nice change from the standard vanilla custard cliche, simple and satisfying. However, it’s the ROOFTOP HONEY PANACOTTA that is a must should you be forced to choose between the two. The taste of honey is unique to the pollen collected by Sydney working bees, and on the rooftop are a number of hives that the Holiday Inn & Sirocco Kitchen extract this SydneyCity honey from! From Rushcutters Bay Park to Hyde Park or even the Royal Botanic Gardens, it truly is a unique flavor you can only find here if you know your honeys…
Silver Star service, daily specials, there’s so many reasons to come back and not many reasons to make you want to leave the luxurious hotel!!!

The spaghetti marinara was prepared fresh and hot. I could observe the chef using some of the pasta water to tie in the flavours together and sear the pasta over a high flame. The service was speedy, and the atmosphere was good. There weren't many people dining in around 5:30 p.m., but few people were ordering takeaway.
My critique with the marinara is that you could barely taste or see any crab, and the calamari did not taste fresh, nor was it scored. The spaghetti itself tasted fresh, and you could tell it was hand-made, although it could've been a bit thicker in size to help it absorb more of the sauce.
The heat of the chilli tied the dish together very well, and the sauce was so tasty.
I love that it is presented in a street style way with a brown tray and printed paper lined on the bottom - it's very unique.
There are a few different pasta options available to customise your meal - might go for the tagliatelle next time.

Great place to have a lunch in King Cross. The pasta was pretty decent with competitive prices. As a con, I would highlight the fact that the toilets were difficult to find and they were not clean
Pablo Reig Navarro - 5 months ago
Pleasantly surprised by both the quality and quantity of their food!! We had marinara and truffle pasta. Very impressed with the marinara pasta. Arancini was amazing too - better than what I had in restaurants in the past. They exceeded some restaurants in both flavours and portion size, with affordable price tags! Staff were friendly. Casual seatings. Very close to the train station. Would visit again whenever we crave good pasta.

Amazing local Italian street food! Had the pizza fritta, and it was absolutely delicious.. crispy, light, and made fresh to order. Friendly service and great flavors. Highly recommend! Will be back to try the pasta. 5% discount for cash payment

The pastas are delicious, and all the ingredients are very fresh. The service is excellent. The restaurant gets busy as soon as it opens. Today it was very windy outside, so we wanted to sit inside. Although all the indoor seats were reserved, the staff made a great effort to find us a spot. The pizza garlic bread and the tiramisu is also recommended.
