Say it with Lentil — Restaurant in Sydney

Came for dinner after seeing the great reviews, we were seated outside by the heater which was fine. It took some time for our first dish to come out (they were busy so we weren’t going to complain about that$ but the curry came out quite cold. We saw that the servers were pretty busy inside so figured we would just wait till they came and brought out our other dishes and mention it to the staff then. It took 30mins for the next dishes to come out so by the time that happened my friend and I were pretty hungry and had eaten more than half of the curry despite it being cold (it was still delicious). We mentioned to the staff member that our curry was cold when it was served and we were told that’s probably because we were outside and it’s cold outside so the food would have cooled down by the time it reached us… we thought this was a weird response because the other food that came out was perfectly hot and after they microwaved the curry and brought it out to us it didn’t cool down that quickly. I was pretty disappointed with the staff response because I got the impression they thought my friend and I were being nit picky or making an issue out of nothing. I did see another review of someone else getting a cold meal served. The drinks and food were good but we were pretty put off by the way our feedback was...

Passed by this gem while checking out the stores next to it and was drawn to the cosy interior and fantastic sounding menu in the window! 🪟👀

Say it with Lentil? SAY LESS (I love lentils) 🤭

Came back for lunch with my friend and we were welcomed by the friendly owner who took our order! We had the hardest time deciding so she recommended us the berbere chicken and the fish curry which were both so tasty and tender 🥹

The place is flexitarian so there’s basically dietary options for everyone, and so many affordable, balanced meal options. Great lunch place and atmosphere to catch up with friends! ✨

Hot tip: get the hot chocolate (also rec by owner) because this thing is so perfectly rich and creamy…it has orange zest and cinnamon in it as well and the warm citrus flavour really makes it stand out for me ☕️🍊

Had an amazing experience and def would return to try the...

Absolutely delighted to have discovered Say it with Lentil in New Town! I was thrilled by their unique take on Indian cuisine. The shorse fish and dal were outstanding—flavoursome without being overpowered by spices, yet nostalgic for home cooking on special days in Calcutta.

The dhokar dalna was a revelation—not the traditional version, but a creative twist resembling a kadhi (yogurt-based) that I’ve always wanted to try at home. Most importantly, I didn't feel the uneasiness of excess oil or colour after eating here.

Kudos to the owner for the brilliant menu design, offering curry + rice portions that make group ordering seamless, especially when everyone has different preferences. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates thoughtful and innovative Indian food. Can’t...
