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.

Wasn’t 1 bad dish. Everything had some much flavour and great portion sizes. Got the $85 share menu between 4 🙂 will definitely be heading back

Great food, service and atmosphere. Slushy was great. Be sure to order the bread and dumplings (fried). They were divine.

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!

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 👏

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

Great final meal tonight before leaving Sydney tomorrow morning. Took me back home. I had the fish Kari dosai where the fish was cooked to perfection and the flavor of coconut oil was conspicuous. I also went for the mini tiffin which had Kara m idli , upma and medu vadai served with sambar and coconut chutney. The sambar was exquisite. The vadai was crispy and delicious. I stuffed myself to my face before heading back home ! The idli was undercooked but the server was kind enough to replace the entire platter as I was already half way through my meal. I got a whole other plate which I didn’t want , but it was sweet of them to do so !

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!
Terence Chong - 6 months ago

Was always great but now that the food is kept hot it is even better. Tasty, fresh dishes. Then take your shoes off and lay on the cushions and watch a movie. Take a blanket as can be a bit chilly. Great date night. Great value.

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!

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!

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

Heads up to Gabriella and Nikita the floor manager. Nikita is funny and made us feel like home! We will definitely come back either alone or with friends. Thanks again ladies. You are doing a fantastic job!

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.

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!)

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.

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 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.

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

One of my absolute favourite spots in Sydney! This Italian street food restaurant is a true hidden gem. The pasta is always incredibly fresh, full of flavour, and cooked to perfection!
