Nautanki has replaced Neelam Indian which I had frequented for almost 20 years. This was my first visit to the new restaurant and the modern and vibrant interior is very inviting. Ordered the lunch thali plate (meat) $19.90. Despite being the first people in the restaurant at 12pm it took almost 25 minutes to be served the thali plates which is mind boggling given the little effort they are to assemble.

The curries were served luke warm. The Lamb Rogan Josh consisted of 2 cubes of lamb, one was total gristle that I had to spit out, the second piece I was able to cut a small piece of meat off the fat and it was tough and chewy - I honestly thought it was goat meat.

I recently organised an after-work party at Nautanki Sala Indian Restaurant, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences we’ve ever had as a team. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting — perfect for a relaxed yet celebratory evening.
