Magic Curries — Restaurant in Hobart

Coming from india one of the key tests for me is the chef’s ability to make a good biriyani. The biriyani did not feel fresh at all and tasted like it was out of a microwave. It also had raw onion pieces mixed with the rice and masala which is normally unheard of in a biriyani. The other disappointing item was the mango lassi which tasted more like mango juice with hardy any lassi flavours in it. Compared to what you get in other good Indian restaurants it was truly disappointing.

The Roti and Naan was more like Papadums if you kept them for 5min. Soft when served but the consistency of the dough made it to go crisp very fast.

They did average on the chicken tikka and tikka masala which had decent flavours but the chicken was not as soft as what you get in other places. The Paneer Butter Masala was also below par.

I went to this Indian restaurant to celebrate my birthday, but unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The lady ( owner wife) who was serving us was extremely rude and didn’t even smile once. It felt like she didn’t want to serve Indian customers at all.

Very disappointing, especially on my birthday. I hope they improve their attitude and treat all...

Small cozy restaurant servicing great Indian food and wines. The service was friendly and efficient. A must-visit for Indian food enthusiasts!

Spice level: MILD TO MEDIUM

Malai Kofta: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED- this is the best Malai kofta I had in Hobart, not too spicy nor too sweet just perfect. The creamy and rich flavoured curry was irresistible.

Garlic Naan: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED- The naan bread was perfectly fluffy, and bursting with garlicy flavour.

Dal Makhni: RECOMMENDED- The taste was good, like home made. However, I personally prefer a thick consistency when having the dal outside.

Pista Kulfi: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED- They offered a complimentary desert – Thank you guys It was rich and satisfying treat. It was dense, creamy, and velvety, providing a rich and indulgent experience...
