Was here 11 years ago in 2013 and glad it hasn’t changed that much. Still vibing on a Saturday night. Food: Starters - banh mi, spring rolls, oysters. Nice and tasty all round. Smaller dishes - king fish was really nice. Egg plant was ok. Prawn toast was ok too. Nothing spectacular. Burrata was nice with bread. Larger dishes - trout was very nice. Might have been my highlight of the night. Duck was good abit drier than I liked but presented well. And the tasty AF noodles was too salty I thought. Definately flavour there but might be abit too much to create a nice balance. That was the only dish that was left unfinished. Desert - stoners was nice. Refreshing after all that food. Overall - still a great place to hang out and enjoy good food.

Looking for a culinary adventure in Sydney? Look no further than Ms. Gs! This vibrant eatery offers a fusion of Asian flavors that will blow your taste buds away. Start with their inventive appetizers and move on to the mouthwatering steak, all bursting with unique, bold tastes. The dessert is the perfect cherry on top, leaving you craving for more. However, while the food was top-notch, the service left something to be desired. We had a hiccup with our group payment, and despite the system's capability, the staff wouldn’t accommodate our request for a refund on a mistaken charge. It was a bit of a letdown to an otherwise stellar meal. But if you're here for the food, Ms. Gs delivers in spades!

Well well well, where to start. Friendly staff? ✅ Moody and cool atmosphere ✅ Food? ✅ it was my first visit to Ms. G’s and missy loved up to the hype. The most talked about dish is probably the cheeseburger spring rolls. And they are amazing but they’re just the tip of the iceberg. The kingfish ceviche with its tangy fresh flavour was outstanding and the prawn toast almost made me cry it was so good. Easily could have ordered those two dishes twice and not shared with the group. For the mains, the prawns and the duck were excellent choices, both packed with flavours and the noodles rounded out the mains nicely. For dessert, the tropical madness with its pine-lime granita, lychee and jackfruit was an elevated take on the pine-lime Splice ice cream, full of nostalgic goodness and super refreshing. The Stoner’s delight was decadent rush Nutella and chocolate and raspberry. Very heady stuff. Superb non alcoholic chooses, highly recommend temple of spice and busy like a Monday morning. Shout out to all the staff, they were super cool, fun and engaging. All round a wonderful experience 😃

Miss the old orange vegetable curry. It’s now green and lacks any flavour. Especially for the price just isn’t worth it. The samosa here are nice and more filled with onion and peas — unlike other samosas that are more potato filled.

What a magnificent restaurant that I never knew about. I have driven past this restaurant 100 times or more and never thought to stop in. I was pleasantly surprised initially by the story that the chef had left at the front of the menu. It was a lovely Story about spices and the history of India and how it was during the peak of spice trading. As he noted in his prologue, an entire Empire, the greatest the world had ever seen was built off it. The food was exceptional and the only thing that perhaps let me down slightly was the butter chicken But overall each dish was exquisite and my experience was so positive that I can’t wait to go back. Highlights were the lamb with Pepper and palak paneer. And frankly the best samosa I have ever eaten. Was I having just a good night ? I’ll know soon enough when I return.

I recently had the chance to dine at a restaurant owned by a lovely gentleman from Chennai, India, who also happens to be the chef! It was a delightful experience, but there were a few surprises and mixed opinions on the food. This place is definitely one of the must-try Indian restaurants in Sydney. For starters, we were ordered masala dosa and lamb kheema dosa—an unexpected but it was a starter. The dosas were accompanied by chutneys that were flavorful. Next up were the Melagu prawns, which had a mild spice level—pleasant, but we were hoping for a bit more kick. The Somersby apple cider was a standout it was so fresh that it felt like drinking cider straight from the orchard. Our mains consisted of basmati rice (a generous portion) paired with railway chicken gravy. As an Indian, the gravy was on the blander side. We also had naan with chicken makhani (aka butter chicken), which was creamy and sweet. The star of our meal was the Chettinad chicken ~ packed with flavor and perfect when paired with basmati rice. That said, the gravy portions across dishes were small, so we found ourselves ordering extra bread and rice—a clever strategy by the restaurant! 😉 To wrap things up, we indulged in a few desserts and drinks. The Mango lassi was refreshing, and the Mango kulfi with mango boba was a unique treat. I enjoyed the burst of Mango pearls—it was a fun twist. However, the Madras coffee was a bit disappointing, it was watery and lacked a strong coffee flavor. Service was great, but the place was quite busy, so the dishes took time to arrive. Patience is key! One nice touch was the peppermint chocolate served with the bill. In the end, our meal for six people came to around $200 to $250. Overall, while some dishes could use a little more spice, it was a pleasant dining experience.

Excellent ambience and welcoming staff create a pleasant dining experience. It's among the top Indian restaurants in Sydney. Starters are particularly delicious, but the curries (both veg and non-veg) could be improved in taste. Don't miss out on trying their dosa; they offer a diverse range of varieties.

The restaurant is completely vegetarian, The food is not good and there are very few curries to select, even though they themselves called it a buffet. No drinks included, or any desserts. Only a few selections of curries. At first, once I go to the buffet area, I am confused as to how this can be a proper buffet and I am searching for some other area, maybe they kept the rest of the food there hhh, nothing, so bad and the food is also not very good. Service is average. Then went to the film area, we can lay down and watch the movies, find nothing to complain, if you are with your partner, you can cuddle and have an intimate time.

3.9/5* The Feed Punchers visited a very unique punch destination, Govindas restaurant and cinema. For $28, there is an all you can eat, vegetarian buffet, incorporating fresh ingredients with a strong Indian influence. At the start of the buffet line, there were options of white rice, brown rice, pots of soup and dahl. Next came salads, pasta and a variety of vegetable curries, which utilised predominantly; chickpeas, lentils, potato’s and tofu as the staple ingredient. The stand out favourite for the Feed Punchers was the crispy deep fried cauliflower pakoras, which were golden and perfectly crispy. They were well paired with the tzatziki mint like sauce and the chilli chutney. Overall, there was a great variety of fresh-vegetarian food in a buffet style. The perfect way to get a feed right before watching a movie. Thankyou Govindas!

Very casual with a good atmosphere. A vegetarian heaven. The food is homely and very tasty. Buffet style. Parking can be quite difficult. It is not suitable for people with mobility issues as there are two (2) flights of stairs which are quite challenging. Worth a visit.
Emma - a year ago

I absolutely love this place. The cinema is so relaxing and comfortable - we always come here when we have a free evening. The people are so welcoming and it's great value.

Not great but not bad. Staff are constantly zipping around the tight dining area. Westernised take on the Indian dishes on offer with the rest of the buffet being a pasta bake which you'll need the cheese top layer when taking your serving to have any flavour. Dining areas could be better illuminated. Those seeking a menu which doesn't contain onion and garlic (religious reasons) and is pure vegetarian and somewhat vegan have this as a safe option.

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!

Enjoyed dinner and show last night at Twin Peaks Two. Welcomed like an old friend by Nikita and her team. New venue is just as good if not better than the original. I liked atmosphere, extra seating room, customer service and of course the entertainment. I will be back. Thanks Glen B

Stumbled upon whilst walking along Macleay St and we thought will give it a go. It was not a busy lunch, only a few tables were taken. Taste and presentation were on point, we liked their bento a lot and the gyoza dipping sauce was delicious. Service was so-so!

Amazing service and food was very fresh. Their sushi rolls are to die for. Staff are so friendly and welcoming and I would highly recommend coming here.

Good quality traditional Japanese food in the local area. Sashimi is very fresh. The only disappointment was the karage chicken where the flavours were slightly muted. Staff very friendly and would recommend!
Eleanor Cheng - 2 years ago

Stumbled onto to this and it was a gem find. The staff were so nice finding us a table as we didn't have a booking. The food was amazing and seemed to be prepared with care and love. The sashimi was fresh, the grilled eggplant with two types of miso was so good and the duck was pretty amazing as well.
Dao Lam - 3 years ago

Pros: Sashimi are fresh. Customer service is good. Cons: 1. Slightly over priced with the given grade of this restaurant. 2. Portion is small (5 dishes ordered for 2 ppl, not felt like anywhere near full) 3. Menu choices are limited. 4. Dishes are just ordinary, lack a bit of spark. just a bit plain in both tastes and presentation.

The Owl House’s new digs on Victoria Street manage to keep the same cosy ambience as the former Crown Street bar. Rather than a narrow terrace, it’s now a dugout bar, tucked between Monkey Magic and Darlinghurst’s best sourdough pit stop, Infinity Bakery. Owner Amir Halpert has cleverly kept the gang together, transplanting both his chef and his bar manager Owen Davies, as well as the very bar he served behind, over to the new space. It’s nice to walk into a new space where everyone already knows your name, and have your post-work beverage of choice – the Corpse Reviver # 2 – lined up on the bar waiting. After it strips away the remains of the day from my palate, I move onto Mezcalin ($19). With smoky mezcal and plum jam balanced by lime, a swirl of tobacco syrup and a rosemary salt rim, it’s the perfect slow sipper against a meandering Cheese Board ($29/3 cheeses) adventure. We opt for a tale of three cows, with a washed rind Pont L’eveque from Basse-Normandie, a Saint Agur blue cheese and a British semi-hard Larder & Co Oak Smoked Cheddar from Devon, against lavosh, muscatels and honeycomb. A homely Charcuterie Board ($21) with house-made mortadella and rillettes rounded out with jamón Serrano, is served with toast, pickled onions and cornichons. The toast to charcuterie ratio is out, but it’s an easy fix with a Daily Baked Bread ($5) add-on, accompanied by Hilal’s za’atar and local olive oil. On this visit I was a bit more interested in drinking a smooth, butter-infused Bulleit bourbon Buttered Fashion ($24) than exploring the newly extended wine list. We also left the wider menu alone sufficing with some Pambula Oysters ($4/each) served both au natural, and with the house dressing – a mignonette granita that worked out nicely too. The big question will be how does my favourite bar perform at brunch? The lure of a breakfast cocktail means I’ll undoubtedly bring you some news on that front before the year is out...

The degustation menu is fantastic, with a delectable selection of food and wine pairings. We deeply enjoyed the gnocchi, brick pastry prawns, and ox-tail croquette. The cocktails are also delicious.
Cheong Yew Ng - 7 years ago

A funky, tiny, bar and restaurant. Great atmosphere and our service was outstanding. The degustation menu is six small plates with matching cocktails (served as halves). You can have matching wine, but don't bother, the cocktails are the main gig and it's fun to think through how they match the dishes. You can make your own judgement on the food, but I thought the mushrooms were spectacular, likewise the prawns with brick pastry and smoked enoki. The other dishes less so.
Richard Kerr - 8 years ago

Always a great night. Degustation menu is always very enjoyable. Drinks to match work extremely well. Owen and his staff are very friendly and it feels very intimate and special. Always look forward to dining there. Loving the new venue on Victoria Street. Cocktail or wine on the couch or at the bar.

Amir is the best bar owner in Sydney and I’ll fight you over it. LOVE the place.

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.

Great restaurant. We enjoy eating here when in Sydney. The staff are friendly and the location is great. Food is tasty, consistent and high-quality. We look forward to eating here again.

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!!!
