This is a very popular place for Sri Lankan takeaway. We arrived 6pm and there was a queue of about 12 people!! There are tables on footpath you can eat at but we went inside to the restaurant they also operate. You pay a few dollars more per dish, but the place was empty the whole time we were there. Service was very friendly and minimal wait time as its already made and in the window. We ordered dosai which is a thin pancake in South Indian cuisine made from a fermented batter of ground black lentils and rice Goat curry and Biriyani with butter chicken. The absolute stand out was Goat curry which i was trying for the first time. It was so tasty! The butter chicken wasn't bad, but the Biriyani was not like what I think of when I say Biriyani, which is more clove flavoured. I am no expert so I wont comment just assume there is a lot of difference between Indian Biriyani and Sri Lankan. I would return...to get best value, I would get take away and sit on street. I would avoid arrival at peak time of 6pm maybe 7.30pm - as when we left, there was no line. I would get goat curry again. Parking was easy on the street with lots of spots and minimal competition. Update Came back and got 1* Lamb and 3 * Vegetable for $15. I chose ochra, paneer and lamb. It was great flavour and was good value, which is hard to find these days. Paneer is more expensive than others so was Only allowed 2 other vegetable curries but was still flavourful and filling. One suggestion would be to have labels on curries as it is just a plethora of curries with no way to distinguish them apart.

Seriously good and authentic curries. The lamb and three veg deal is large, and super filling. I highly recommend the eggplant curry to include as your one of three veg. It is quite literally to die for. Sticky, punchy and spicy and just an amazing dish. Their Dal is pretty good and the chickpeas and spinach curries are also very good. The pepper chicken curry is also a spicy sensation, but I'm a mutton lover, so that's my go to. They do good breads as well. Paratha and chapattis. But the killer snack that you must try here is the lamb rolls. They are the business. Seriously. I go out of my way to land a bag full of these whenever I'm nearby. Definitely a party favourite at our place, especially when they're fresh from the fryer. Dynamite.

We came for nearby Bluemoon but we saw only two customers inside there and a crowd outside Shakthi in the same block so we came here instead. Chicken boneless curry, fluffy roti and a strange square log lamb roti (plus potato inside) and masala chai were all tasty so we ordered more of similar to take home. Worth the 20 minute train ride from Town Hall. Even reheated the next day the square lamb roti was real tasty - not sloppy - dry enough meat and potatoes - if it wasn’t outta my zone I’d be there regularly. Only problem was the butter chicken (I guess Murgh Makhani) was so mild I found it tasteless and wondered if it was even a curry - guess that's intended for non-curry eaters.

I bought takeaway Idly from this tiffin centre and when I went back to my home, idly was very cold like it was in fridge from long time or maybe they are selling stuff which they haven’t sold yesterday. I went back to Resturant and told the owner about the food situation instead of apology he started shouting on me. Ps: this restaurant doesn’t sell south Indian food but Srilankan, he sells leftover food. Later I went there again after 2-3 months to buy parata because other restaurants were closed, the owner recognised me and denied to sell food, he has attitude problem, he looks biased towards Indians and always speaks in his local srilankan language.

Visited the takeaway section of this restaurant on the recommendation of a friend. It's a rather ordinary place. The display of food was very inviting and I went on a buying spree. Brought the food home and I was very disappointed. The stuffed banana chilly looked tempting. My grandmother used to prepare this and I liked it. How disappointed I was to see that it was nothing but a small green chilly with loads of batter (see photo posted). The Paratha was leathery. The small size fish curry had just one small piece of fish. Will not visit again.

New shakthi is the best Indian/sri lankan cuisine based restaurant in Sydney, period. The set up reminds me of restaurants back home in india. The service is quick as hell, loads of varieties to choose from and road side eating set up. If you are very hungry just order the biryani and you should be good, its so filling and is served with an egg, goat curry and piece of chicken leg and curd salad. The prices are super cheap as well and big up for the staff they are so friendly and lively. Must visit!
