Mietta's Review
The place is a temple to the excesses of Bollywood and provides a great background for the all singing all dancing movie being shown on the many big screen TVs. The effect of all this distractracts attention from the just average Indian tucker. Best for a large group having fun.

Other published opinions

Sydney Eats 2006 "Here you'll find that the entertainment has equal billing with the food, so get ready to be distracted by Bollywood movies on Friday nights, live Bollywood and dancers on Sundays and plenty of salsa nights, jazz nights and karaoke in between."

Sydney Eats 2005 "As its name suggests, Bollywood costumes and star photos adorn the walls of this enthusiastic tribute to Indian cinema. With such a wild decor dining-in is a must."

SMH, good living, John Newton September 25, 2004. "Where can you get an all-singing, all-dancing Miss Universe and Miss World with your vindaloo? Where else but in kooky, cosmopolitan Double Bay."

SMH, good living, 14/10/03, Kat Duthie,'It's good fun in here...restaurant menu...The food service was a bit slow.'

SMH, Good Living, 12/8/03, Keith Austin,'comfy, easy-going, reasonably priced and with a natural friendliness'

Or perhaps ...

Bukhara of Double Bay 9363 5510, , Upstairs, 55 Bay St cnr Cross St, Double Bay - After fifteen years, the flavors of Mauritius and India, the bright interior, friendly service have kept the diners of Double Bay coming back again and again.

Flavour of India Edgecliff 9326 2659, 120 New South Head Rd, Edgecliff - Famous (and infamous) for its star studded guest list, this offers probably the best Indian food in the Eastern suburbs.

Jewel On The Bay (02) 9371 4100, , 639 New South Head Rd, Rose Bay

Planet Bollywood (02) 9362 5222, 24 Bay St, Double Bay - The place is a temple to the excesses of Bollywood and provides a great background for the movie shown on the big screen TV, which distracts from the average Indian food.

A Taste Of India (02) 9327 5712, , 370 New South Head Rd, Double Bay - No atmosphere but consistently good food including all the favorites
