I walked into a classy looking restaurant that could be in any Sydney suburb.
Greeted me with a warm smile, and we were ushered to our table.
I knew then, that I was in for a wonderful treat.
Fantastic menu, extensive, but carefully selected. Reasonable prices and on point service. The food was outstanding, the flavours, the aromas, the texture and the taste. As if that wasn’t enough, the Owner and head chef, Mohammad came and introduced himself and gave us a history tour into the restaurant, and the origins of the cuisine and the menu.
Thank you for looking after us.
We will be back 🙃

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 👏

I went to see Marty Supreme with my partner. Somehow had the place to ourselves and they only started the film once we arrived and got cosy laying on the cushions. Great lighting and amazing souns. Possibly the most comfortable cinema experience of my life.

Serves delicious wholesome vegan and vegetarian food, in a cozy atmosphere. The channa dal with cilantro was amazing! I'm coming back soon to experience the cinema as well - booked Wuthering Heights!

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've eaten here plenty of times and it has never disappointed. The food is fresh and always tastes like it is cooked mindfully (and with love). I love the cauliflower bites ☺️☺️
It's buffet all you can eat style and you can get a movie deal and watch a film upstairs on beds. There's also kirtan sessions downstairs you might be able to link up with dinner. I love this place.
Krystal - 2 months ago
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!

Over the last 11 years my partner and I have had more than a few amazing nights. I was terrified the first time I went being a female with my partner but my goodness I fell in love. They have always been incredible hosts and entertainers. Before they knew us regularly, they would always check in to make sure we were both comfortable and if there were any lines, the happiness of their customers has always come first. I've always loved our nights here and the inclusiveness. Thank you for the laughs, the absolute love and for just being authentically you.

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!!

We celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary there and we had a fantastic time! Food and service was amazing! Atmosphere absolutely friendly and cool. Girls are all so lovely and professional. 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!

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.

Nice food plating and presentation but lack of orginal Japanese taste, no wow factors. service is not that bad and no value for money at all…
Lakshan Sameera - a month ago
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

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).

Relaxed atmosphere, great service, decent menu, and great food. Quick service
Nathan See - 5 months ago
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!!!

A fantastic spot with beautifully presented, seriously delicious food. We tried the lasagne fritta, pizza fritta, arrabbiata tagliatelle, and garlic bread - every dish was outstanding. The flavors were spot on and clearly made with care. Friendly, welcoming service and impressively fast food delivery made the experience even better. Highly recommend!
Helen Johnston - 2 months ago
Loved this place. Friggitoria does really good Italian street food that feels simple but done right. Everything was fresh and full of flavour, and the fried dishes were light and crispy, not oily at all. Portions are solid and perfect for sharing. The vibe is relaxed and busy in a good way, and the staff were friendly and quick. Great value for the quality. Definitely coming back when I’m craving Italian comfort food.
Ricky - 2 months ago
Friggitoria is amazing every time. The pasta is genuinely delicious - served piping hot, which somehow makes it taste 120% better. I especially love the carbonara and seafood pasta, always with spaghetti. Even after multiple visits, the flavours are consistently the same, which is part of its charm. A really reliable and appealing spot.

Best Thai food I’ve ever had! The Tom Yum and laksa are bursting with authentic flavors, and the black rice pudding is divine. The kitchen is spotless, the presentation is beautiful, and every dish feels crafted with care. The owner’s warm, attentive service makes you feel like family.
