What a delightful experience! This restaurant truly exceeded my expectations. The place has a humble charm, but the food is absolutely incredible. Everything on the menu is designed to share, so we decided to order a mix of different dishes to try. They also offer two set menu options — $80pp and $70pp — which I’d actually recommend, since we ended up spending about that per person anyway. We ordered the burger spring roll, burrata, kingfish ceviche, and the Wagyu beef. Every dish was delicious, but the highlight for me was definitely the burrata. It’s not your typical burrata — it has a unique Asian fusion twist. The sauce and nuts elevate it completely, especially when paired with the bread. It’s a must-try! My second favorite was the Wagyu steak — so tender it practically melted in my mouth. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricier side, but it’s one of those places where you truly feel your money is well spent. The atmosphere is cozy with great vibes, and overall, I’d highly recommend this restaurant for a memorable dining experience.

We visited for dinner on a Saturday night and made a reservation for two. We ordered a range of dishes to share, starting with the Kingfish ($28). We enjoyed it overall the portion of eight pieces was great for two people though it could have used a little more flavour. Next, we tried the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, ordering one vegan and one regular. Both were incredible and definitely a highlight, the only thing that could make them even better would be a dipping sauce. My favourite dish of the night was the Gyoza ($24 for five). The flavour was fantastic and they were cooked perfectly. We finished with the Smoked Duck ($44). Unfortunately, this one fell a little short for me. The flavour was okay, but it didn’t quite hit the mark.

The food was unbelievable—easily one of the best dining experiences I've had. Every dish was bursting with flavour, perfectly presented, and clearly made with care and creativity. It’s now hands down on of my favourite restaurants in terms of food quality, service, and presentation. We were lucky to be served by Byron, who was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the experience even more enjoyable. His recommendations were spot on, and he made us feel genuinely welcome from start to finish. Highly recommend this place if you're after a standout dining experience. Can’t wait to come back!

This restaurant brings together a mix of Asian cooking styles. We went with the $90 set menu, which was reasonably priced and well put together. There were more affordable options, but they didn’t seem as appealing in terms of variety. A great feature of the set was that it included a drink — either a Kirin Ichiban or a Slushee. I’m not much of a drinker, but including alcohol in the set definitely adds value. Overall, the food was enjoyable. The course was well-balanced and the pacing between dishes was great. The set menu alone was filling enough, but we were curious about a couple of à la carte items and decided to try them as well. We added the homemade grilled bread to pair with the burrata that came with the set menu — and I highly recommend it. The combination worked beautifully. We also tried the “Slurp City” ramen noodles, but unfortunately, the noodles were undercooked. Because of that, the sauce didn’t soak in properly, and the noodles and sauce felt disconnected — like they weren’t working together. The only downside was the seating. The tables were placed a bit too close to each other, which made the space feel cramped. The food and pricing were excellent overall. Worth a visit, especially for the value of the set menu.

All dishes we ordered were great. Special mentioned Angus ribs with vegemite soy were cooked to perfection. cheeseburger spring rolls was a great surprise because it gave a nice surprise and unexpected cheeseburger taste. Dessert is fantastic. Not mention the epic view overlooking night city view.

A true gem in Darlinghurst. Our favourite is Dosai, both Bangalore and Prawn Dosai are packed with flavour and beautifully presented. The butter chicken and lamb dishes are outstanding too!

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 👏

If you are one who love South Indian food particularly from the unique Kerala cuisine, then this is a must go place. We, a party of FIVE, were pampered to the most amazing Kerala food. We had the Kerala chicken curry, veg Patti samosa, Baramundi fish polichadu, lamb chops for starters. Each one of the them unique in flavour and in presentation. Then we shared a Bangalore dosa and a Keenan curry dosa. Crispy and decadent. Absolutely must try. The beef ribs were simply fall off the bone. And paired with the flaky Kerala Parotta - simply slapped. The Railway Goat curry is some of the best I have had in a long time. Simply amazing. Kerala Parotta is a must try. And u choose ur curry !!! Now coming to the desert : we tried the desert platter. Which had rasamalai, kavanu arisi (splendid rice pudding) and mango kulfi A must wash down with Masala chai. Pro tip : we skipped a drink in the beginning coz the drinks we can get anywhere. The rest of the food is unique!

Empty restaurant but guy insisted I sit in the corner by a tiny table. Kerala fried chicken tasted awful and the masala dosa was about six inches long or thereabouts. Elegant atmosphere. No idly or medhu Vada. Limited items on the menu

Really nice and casual place for dinner. It starts with a warm welcome from the ladies and continues with delicious vegetarian food. It’s an all-you-can-eat venue at a fair price. I was surprised to see some reviews complaining about ‘not many options’ — really? The selection is more than enough, and the food is tasty and well prepared. We didn’t get a chance to watch a movie this time, but we can’t wait to go back and enjoy the full experience.

I was 30 back in 2003 when I rocked up in Sydney with just a backpack. Ended up crashing at a hostel in the city and absolutely fell in love with the place. At the time, I was big into long-distance running and one day I thought, “Why not train for a marathon?” So I did. Three solid months of hardcore training, no booze, no junk food, just full-on dedication like a true athlete. Race day came, and that night my freinds at the hostel pulled a cheeky surprise and took me to Govindas. The food was bloody delicious and they were screening The Lord of the Rings. The cinema was so comfy I conked out right at the start, my body was knackered and those cushions were way too good to resist. Honestly, I can’t recommend that spot enough. Happy to hear it’s still kicking! Amir

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!

The food was great, exactly what you would expect from a vegan indian buffet. The movie was also great, the refurbished cinema lounges are very comfortable and it was a really nice night. Would be good if the cinema was air-conditioned, but they may do that in the warmer months 🤷 Would go again

Not great but not bad. Staff are constantly zipping around the tight dining area. Westernised take on the Indian dishes on offer with the rest of the buffet being a pasta bake which you'll need the cheese top layer when taking your serving to have any flavour. Dining areas could be better illuminated. Those seeking a menu which doesn't contain onion and garlic (religious reasons) and is pure vegetarian and somewhat vegan have this as a safe option.

Fantastic experience! From start to finish. everyone involved made sure our entire table had non stop smiles and laughter. The company was amazing, the food was incredible, and the shows were captivating. Our first time here has guaranteed that we will be returning!

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!!

WOW. This place is incredible. The girls out of this world. Super friendly, welcoming, I felt at home the moment I walked in. Got a double from Mel and Foxxy, honestly the best dance I’ve ever had in my life. I am not kidding. Indi was extremely nice to me, personable, gave me recommendations for places to go out because I’m new here. I was entertained from start to finish, not a single dull moment. Love this place. HIGHLY recommend. you will not regret it

Authentic Japanese food and restaurant experience. High quality ingredients and wide variety on menu, including items you may not find at other Japanese restaurants eg their spinach roll entree in a housemade sesame dressing; braised wagyu tendon with daikon. The sashimi is very fresh. Each dish is prepared with care and consideration eg pretty garnishes, housemade salts and sauces. We love the little details like inviting guests to choose their own sake cup out of a variety of designs. Service is attentive and helps clear dishes so more can arrive. They try to bring dishes out in a certain order eg cold / small plates first, culminating to the tobanyaki towards the end. The restaurant is dimly lit, creating a mood. There is bar seating for smaller groups and tables for larger like ours inclusive of kids. We’ve had a consistently good time here.

Busshari is easily the best Japanese restaurant in Potts Point and the Eastern Suburbs. The menu is comprehensive, the food is always first rate and the service is excellent. Unlike its two principal competitors, it is also quiet and very comfortable, and you can enjoy a conversation while dining. Busshari also fully caters for diet restrictions including vegetarian and coeliac (gluten free). Read less

We have been to japan 14 times and I can definitely say this is one of the best Japanese restaurants I have been to in the world (we typically eat kaiseki meals in ryokans). The sashimi (particularly the salmon belly and scallop) are the best is Australia. The sashimi is so fresh and the wasabi is the fresh type. We also really loved the tofu wakame salad - even the salad is amazing! And thoroughly enjoyed the tempura Udon. The Udon had rich deep flavours and the tempura was perfect. The Nigiri sushi was excellent, but it was hard to compare once you have eaten the sashii The miso cod was perfectly cooked, and was a little salty, I think we should have ordered rice with it! The sake tasting platter was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the sake. We cannot believe this is in Australia and not Japan, highly highly recommended

Really enjoyed the service and food here. The lovely lady taking our orders was very nice. The sashimi set was great. Enjoyed a bit too much of the Suntory beer. Will definitely come back.

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.

My friend and I were in Potts point for a long weekend and my birthday. We tried this restaurant based on the First table promotion. We were greeted by Adam. Drinks ordered then Grace was out waitress for the evening. We decided to share the Haloumi Salad which was a delicious combination of citrus, green leaves pomegranate and a variety of crushed nuts & pumpkin seeds. For mains we chose the barramundi with Kipferl potatoes. Tiny tomatoes. I chose the sirloin steak medium rare with mushroom gravy. It came with salad and chips. We shared the mains. They were really delicious and cooked to perfection. The service was attentive. We also tried the Tatachilla sparkling with entrees and some with our mains. I had the Tatachilla Shiraz Cabernet as dessert. I can not believe how delicious the steak was and the mushroom gravy. Deep flavours no cream but meaty. The barramundi was juicy and delicious. We wish to hgighly recommend this restaurant tucked in under the Holiday Inn Hotel

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!)

This small storefront offers both indoor and outdoor dining. They serve generous portions of pasta and lasagna. You can choose your preferred pasta type and sauce combination. The restaurant is always bustling with constant Uber Eats pickups.

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.

This place was so nice. Originally found it on uber eats and thought, why not come in real life. The food was unreal and served so so quickly. The lady Varsha who work was there was so so nice! Definitely ordering from here again! Thanks Varsha

What an amazing place, loved all the pastas. The pastas were made fresh and the service was really fast. There were multiple vegetarian sauce options too.

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.
