After some very disappointing experiences from Sydney's curry houses, I have finially found one that lives up to its claim of having "Sydney's best Curry".
My search for a decent Indian is over at last! This is the real deal.

Fantastic dosai starter, and some truly hot and tasty curries afterwards! Mmmm! (that was without even asking for the very hot versions!!). For those of you looking for a UK-esk style hot tasty curry - go here! it's well worth the trip if you are in or out of the CBD. Will definitely be visiting again!

We love going to Kammadhenu, being Indian ourselves; it says something about the authenticity and taste. It is great value for money, friendly service, and family atmosphere. The interior is well lit and colourful. Also they have a fabulous website which you can peruse:-menus which include costs, pictures and everything. I recommend this restaurant to anyone that is looking to spice up their life tonight.

The dosais are great here, haven't tried any of the other dishes though. The food is really good value, whenever I've been here it's worked out around $10 per person!

We love this place!!! Never disappoints! Perfect crispy yummy dosais everytime. I recommend the butter chicken, mushroom muttar, and lemon rice. Service is alright, food comes out fast most of the time. Don't really like sharing tables. Funny Sri Lankan videos always playing, we love the dancing! My boyfriend loved the laser lights.

I love this place. The Dosai are sooooo good. I tried 3 different curries and, well I did not like them. But the roti and Dosais are yummy! The wine they have is reasonable too.

I am so impressed! The dosai was brilliant and the speed of service which can beat elsewhere hands down. Will go back for the other curries. The proprietor is such a sweet man too.

BTW I am a Newtownian (smug or not). Ok, let's not kid ourselves. The service is pretty bad with things being unceremoniously plonked onto your table and the tables are wiped down with some sort of weird rag. But there's a reason why this place is packed a lot of the time. The food is pretty good here and is pretty consistently good.

I'm not expecting absolute taste sensations but the curries are pretty nice and for $10, that's what I expect.

If I am expecting good service, I would have steered clear of this by just inspecting the chaos of the wait staff for like 30 seconds. It's not that hard! But if I want a good quick curry and good value, this is a place to go. (Also BYO too).

We ate here on a Saturday night. When we complained about being cold and asked for the front door to be closed, the waitress refused saying it was the way the owner liked it. We had a vegetable dosai which was lovely. We then had a butter chicken which was mediocre. The fish curry we had, however, was inedible and tasted extremely fishy, like it was off.

Although we hardly touched it, this was not noticed by the wait staff. The service was terrible with no where near enough wait staff. Our waitress spent most of her time sprinting up and down the restaurant. Our lassis came as we were finishing our meal. We will definitely NOT be back.

I went over there for lunch with my wife and we had their lunch specials thalis. I had the one with lamb and my wife had hers vegetarian. The service was fast and the food quality and presentation was excellent. Great awesome food at budget price. Only $6.50 for veg thali and $7.50 for lamb one. Great payasam. I hope that they will open a restaurant in Sydney CBD as they already have another one in Newtown.

The best thali in Sydney so far!
