Amaravathi Harris Park — Restaurant in Sydney

A family friend and I visited this restaurant just before the peak lunch hour on a weekday. The interior was small and cosy and there was Bollywood music playing, a little too loud for the small space. The waiter was friendly throughout our visit and greeted us with a smile. He was patient as we asked him what certain dishes comprised of and was good at explaining.

We started off ordering podi idli which came with chutney and sambar, as well as ghee dosa that came with the same accompaniments. The dosa was crispy as we requested and the idlis were soft and both dishes were delicious. We really enjoyed the fresh coconut chutney.

We then ordered Chicken 65 biryani which took a little longer to prepare (it appeared fresh) and though we ordered mild, I found it spicy, but my friend did not. The chicken 65 masala was yum and the portion size was decent for sharing between two (maybe not sufficient for two blokes with large appetites). It came with small steel bowls of raita (a little watery) and the thick gravy (I liked this).

To finish off, we ordered a plate of vadas, which were also fresh and we ordered a plate of Chicken 65 to take away.

The only thing that was disappointing was that there was no chai or coffee - two essentials especially when having snacks like vada, idlis etc.

As we left around 1.30pm, the restaurant started to get busy with the lunch office crowd.

Overall, we really enjoyed the food, which we found to be very good value for price. We will return to try their famous $1 dosas, and hopefully more of their...

We had our lunch at the restaurent on sunday 22/02/20. We ordered natu kodi biryani which was very nice and we have ordered for a chicken 65 biryani family pack size to take home for the family back in southcoast which was 3hrs drive. We have informed them about it askrd them to pack it a bucket and not in a foil tray. They have agreed to this and packed it in a bucket and gave us. We have come home and put the biryani in fridge for that night and when we opened it the next day at around 9am, it was all spoiled and has a weired smell. I have immedietely called the restaurent informing abouy this in the very morning. They were very rude at me even when i was trying to explain what has happened. When i saw the bucket again then i realisee it was packed in just a ginger garlic used bucket and not a takeaway bucket. I have mentioned it to them why food was spolied. If food was packed properly and sealed it would have not spoiled. When i told them about this and ask and ignored and blocked me. If i inform the issue to food cpunsil rhey will be charged heavy fines. Im not complaining here abput the taste or quality but how they have tried to escape from customer with out solving the issue when its brought to their notice. Attaching the images of the bucket they packed the biryani and tyhe next pic is that we throwed it...

I walked in today and clearly asked to try their one dollar dosa.. the person at billing counter was polite enough to ask us to be seated and we will serve you... The lady walked in with the dosa plate and we liked it so I had read somewhere that they have a limit of 2 dosas per person for the 1 dollar dosa... I asked to place an order for two more to the lady as there was no one else around... She just turned her face off and did not even acknowledge the order... I thought she isn't serving me.. it wasn't a good response to be Frank ... So I proceeded to pay to the counter and she approached me from behind saying excuse me I have ordered for 2 dosas already it's ready... I was astonished as she went on to argue that she acknowledged my order .. by then my partner had left too looking at their customer service.. we genuinely wanted to eat had it she apologised and served us better... Extremely disappointed ... She made a face at me when I said because u did not say anything to my order my husband also left and there is no one to eat the dosa either.. she only went on to argue I have ordered already and it's ready... When was she about to tell that to me ? After I left the restaurant... Not even a single staff to serve u with smile or even ask u what else u require.. if you wanna try some of our...
