Charing Cross Indian Restaurant

This place has a few tables at the front with a bain marie at rhe back with a selectiin of fresh and authentic curries. Naans etc made to order. It is at least as good as the other Indian places in the area. It is family run and the servers are mostly female and very pleasant.

Don't eat/order here. Ordered over phone, I have had many great Indian meals takeaway but this was not only cheap but nasty! The veg korma was whitish yellow runny liquid with a couple pieces of capsicum. The butter chicken was not creamy either it was liquid. I did not eat the korma at all. I forgot to take a photo because it ended in the bin as soon as I took it home.

Rarely do I feel the need to write a review, but the curry from this place was the worst I've ever had. We ordered a Malai Kofta, mixed 3 curry special and some entrees with a side of rice. The Malai Kofta was terrible. It tasted like tomato soup straight from the can - no Indian spice flavouring at all. The three mixed curries were on a large bed of rice - which wasn't listed. Two of the curries were tastless. The entrees were ok but not the Indian Take Away experience we were hoping for. The price of the food was cheap, but the quality was poor sadly. A real disappointment.

Average Indian from a bayamarie. You usual variety of Butter Chicken - Vindaloo with lots of sauce and not much meat. Home made Naan is ok and the family running the business are very pleasant. Not a huge fan of the food but a great option after walking out of the two pubs across the road late at night.

I ordered take away this afternoon at 2.30 pm (with menulog) and received a text message confirming that my food would arrive by 3.11pm (I live on suburb away from the restaurant in Bondi). At around 3.20 I called the restaurant to ask about my food and they told me it was on its way. At 3.45 I called up again and they rudely told me that a mistake had been made somewhere along the way but rather than being apologetic the lady of the phone was extremely defensive and aggressive. When the food finally did come I tried to explain how the food had taken too long and he was also extremely dismissive. When we finally opened the food, our roti bread was missing and the Vegetable Korma we had ordered (see picture labelled vege korma) had a foul smell to it and tasted so bad that we did not eat it. We called up the restaurant to complain once more and despite their clear incompetence they took no ownership for their bad service and instead blamed Menulog and simply told us to call them because they had no intention on dealing with the issues themselves. They then hung up on us twice. After 1 and a half hour wait (on a Tuesday afternoon), missing food and a dish that was entirely inedible, the staff not once apologised and were instead incredibly hostile and rude.
