What Clients Say
★★★★★
As a seasoned traveller, I’ve had the privilege of dining at many exceptional Indian restaurants around the world — and Nilgiri’s is unequivocally in my top five. We opted for the tasting menu and each dish was an absolute revelation. The flavours were perfectly balanced, with spices that were bold yet refined. The owners were incredibly warm and attentive, making the experience truly unforgettable.

We go back time and again for the special experience of dining at Nilgiri’s. Recently we tried the changed menu and weren’t disappointed — food and service are always outstanding. We shared two entrees and a main with rice and naan, and every single dish was superb. This is easily one of the best Indian restaurants in Sydney.

Nilgiri’s continues to be superb. We love the vibe, service and fantastic food. This was our fourth trip in the last three months and we’ve enjoyed each experience. Chef Ajoy’s passion is infectious — you can taste it in every dish. The private rooms named after the four elements are a wonderful touch for special occasions.

Must be the best Indian food in Sydney. Ajoy Joshi is a master chef who creates inspirational regional Indian menus with passion and great skill. The menu rotates with the seasons so every visit feels fresh and exciting. Dinner before a movie at the Orpheum is an absolute must — but even without the movie, this restaurant is worth the trip from anywhere in Sydney.
