I would have to rate Flavour of India as the best Indian restaurant in Sydney. The food was delicious, fresh and flavoursome.

The Lamb Saag and Chicken Tikka Marsala were divine, both cooked tenderly and to perfection. The naan was also a standout. Staff were very attentive and friendly and totally on the ball. Can't wait to go back!

I dined at Ottoman with my husband and mother in law on Friday night and was pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious, from the dips to the entrees and mains. The standout was definitely the spatchcock. It was cooked to perfection and so very tasty!

Service was attentive and friendly but not the best we have experienced at other similar priced venues. Prices are on the steep side but would return.

We went to The Eight for yum cha on Sunday and were very impressed. It probably didn't hurt that we got a table straight away as there was only 2 of us. The wait for tables of more than 3 looked long!

We found the servings very generous. The dumplings tasted freshly steamed not soggy like they had been sitting around for a while. Overall, a great place fo yum cha just either get there early to avoid the wait or go with one other. We will definitely fo back soon.

Just returned from lunch and it was great! The staff are very friendly and the food is delish! At only $5 a taco it's nice and cheap although the tacos are tiny so if you are hungry I'd suggest getting a couple. The variety of Mexican beer is fab. Will definitely return!

Decided to try the "Threeway Tuesday" special last week for dinner with 3 friends. It was beef night and it was delicious! The matching wines are great (you get around 1.5 glasses).

Overall, we thought it was great value for the quality of food and wine. Will defintely go back for a different meat, maybe the lamb.

The location and views are what makes this a special restaurant. The food is very tasty but what you expect from the prices and the reputation. The special oysters rockefeller and the dessert were the highlights, lovely tangy lemon tart (corner of the pastry was broken though, which is picky but again for the price it should be perfect).

The service was ok, nothing special. Overall a nice place to take visitors to experience harbour dining.

The snapper pie is a must and was definitely the highlight of the night! It is rather big and could be shared between 2 after a starter. Great to see they are generous on the portion sizes though!

Service was very friendly which is great however I don't feel it was to the calibre of other similar priced restaurants. Needs a bit of work. Overall we had a great night and the food was faultless! Will return & recommend to others

Have dined at Avido 3 times in the last few months and I have enjoyed all of my experiences. The zucchini flowers are delicious as is the pate and cheese board! I would recommend sharing a few starters so you can taste everything. The wine selection is also great.

Service is always attentive and the courtyard out the back is definitely the place to sit. Just remember to ask for some insect repellent! It's great to find a reasonably priced restaurant that isn't attached to a pub in Paddo.
Will definitely return!

My husband and I had dinner at Icebergs on Tuesday night and it was really lovely! We started off with a drink at the bar. Whilst it was quite crowded and we had to sit on a hard, glass bench, it was lovely watching the surfers and beachgoers in the early evening.

Our waiter for the night was brilliant. Very knowledgeable about the food and very friendly. We started with some oysters and the squid special (which was amazing!). We then both had steaks, I opted for the sirloin on the bone and my husband had the rib eye. Both were delicious and both were huge! I only got through half. The waiter suggested we take the leftovers home with us, not what you usually get at such a fancy restaurant which was a nice surprise, whilst we declined.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable evening and we would dine at Icebergs again for a special occasion as the prices are very steep!

This is my favourite local Thai place! The food is always fresh and of the highest quality, not at all greasy like other thai restaurants. The duck rice paper rolls are amazing and so is the tom yum soup!

We also order home delivery from Eat Thai and it always arrives before they say it will, which is rare for home delivery in this town! Would definitely recommend Eat Thai for good quality Thai in the Eastern Suburbs.
