Shakm Indian Eatery (Jhatka food) — Restaurant in Sydney

I was recommended Shakm by a previous visitor who had high appraisal of the place. Located on a busy road, stepping inside I was greeted by a very different - very calm and colourful atmosphere.

I was lucky enough to come at a time when I was one of the sole customers in attendance and as a result was able to experience the full range of hospitality offered by this quint family business.

Having only eaten once at the time of this review I cannot truly give a full range of appraisal for the meals on offer and thus my five stars reflect the meal and service I was given in this day.

My main meal was the Saag te makki di roti and radish salad. It was quite filling and certainly a great testament to South Asian skill with vegetarian dishes.

The service was brilliant and really the reason behind leaving a review like this as it's something that should be recognized when encountered. The owner provided a genuine interest in the culture and history associated with the food alongside a general spirit for its creation. Well done all...

My family came here to eat tonight and I have to say it was fantastic. There was a mix up on the order which they fixed in the most amazing way. My son loved the pumpkin and lentils and especially the plain naan. It's run by a family and you can tell they put in so much hard work. But the most important part of any restaurant is the food and my goodness, it is fantastic. The food feels like home cooked food as if you were with all your family and the uncles and aunties brought their dishes. Now I am no expert in traditional Punjabi food but I do know when something tastes good and this tastes amazing. Thank you for your service (the young lad who thought my son's name was interesting as it's one the TMNT! On the way back home my son remembered and laughed) and food on my trip to Sydney (NSW). I will recommend this place for years to come to anyone I know coming to Sydney NSW, it's a bloody shame I won't get this back in Melbourne! Muchas gracias 👍 (people in NSW come here it's very...

I had been helping a friend move warehouse all day and was hoping to find a place with crispy chicken on the way home. Instead I stumbled upon SHAKM and have never wanted to become a vegetarian so fast before. From the moment you enter, the orange highlighted décor and smiling staff just put you at ease. Had the best daal of my life. Good sized bowl with just the right amount of liquid and the warmth at once returned the life to my muscles. The two rotis were ample, although still treated myself to a delicious mango lassi. Totally worth the price as everything is freshly made on the spot so worth the wait too. Will be taking my family there for...
