Overview of Raavi's Cumin
This is one of the newer restaurants in the Crows Nest area situated just off Willoughby Rd in what used to be known as Piars Indian Restaurant. The Indian theme continues but the food, service and atmosphere has been elevated to a higher level with new owner / chef Ravi Gandhi. He is one of India's top 20 master chefs and just one taste of his specialty dish Murg Peshwari will send your tastebuds into instant understanding as to why. Ravi Gandhi is a third generation restaurateur / chef who brings to Sydney the tradition of Punjabi North Indian cuisine that is in his genes as well as extensive experience in the discerning London market.
Cumin serves up authentic North Indian Cuisine in a stylish and relaxed atmosphere. Your opinion of Indian food will never be the same after experiencing a wonderful lunch or dinner here and it is great value.

Have both dined and ordered deliveries from there. Food is great and authentic.
Love that the curries are very strong with flavours. However, more spices could be used if you like it hot. Definitely good place to dine in as the decor is quite romantic.

We had a lovely dinner with friends here last night. Nice atmosphere, attentive but not intrusive service and terrific food. Initially looking a servings I didn't think that it would be enough for four but there was plenty and it was all delicious. We all left feeling way too full! And good value for money. Whilst we skipped entrees and brought our own wine, the bill came to $30 a head! Definitely recommend it and we'll certainly be back.

This is one of my favourite indian restaurants in Sydney, the restaurant is great, candles at the tables, very stylish yet unpretentious ambience, good service, even when they are busy the food never seems to take too long to arrive at the table. I particularly recommend their Lahoree Champ entree, a lamb dish with delicious spices and a mint dipping sauce. I have tried most items on the menu and can say there's not yet one I don't like. A great place to go for a date or with friends.

Poor service, food took forever to come out and was average at best. Plenty of other places in the area, look elsewhere!

I had dined here a little while ago after seeing the high ratings posted on eatability. I had gone with my partner, I am not sure who Raavi was, as he didn't introduce himself, but the rest of the wait staff were all very polite and courteous. They were nearby in case we needed something, but not over bearing and constantly intruding on our conversations.
The food was fairly standard for indian restaurants which have tried to cater for mild westernized taste buds. Although some of the dishes are listed as spicy (3 chillies), after ordering the beef vindaloo, I can say this is not so. I cannot fault an indian restaurant for toning down the spice especially because so many people in search of the cuisine are intolerant of the spice levels true indian food lovers love. The menu range is quite diverse, including even seafood options.
We had gone on a fairly quiet night apparently (though it was a friday night), so ambient noise was kept to a minimum. One of the waiters did spill something small but I can understand when you have so many plates on the one table. Serving portions are adequate and prices are on the high end of acceptable. Worth at least one visit if you like the cuisine.

We are big fans of Indian food and Raavi's is currently our favourite restaurant in Sydney. The chicken tikka entree and gosht korma main are stand out items. Meat in the dishes is always tender and tasty but the sauces are just fantastic. Raavi is a friendly, attentive host and the service is always good. It's a great option if you're looking for a fun, casual night out with family and friends.

Went on a friday night. Place was busy and like others have said very noisy. Waiters were a little hard to understand and a little clumsy. But the food did come through very good. Had good flavour as well as being good sized portions. Overall pretty good but could be better.
