Manjit's Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Wollongong City Council

I've dined at Manjit's a few times, each time hoping the food would improve and meet the standards of authentic Indian cuisine. Unfortunately, it consistently falls short. The dishes appear to have been altered to suit a Western palate, losing the authenticity that Indian cuisine is known for.

What has stood out, however, is the stark difference in service provided to Indian patrons versus local, non-Indian guests. This disparity is disappointing, particularly from a restaurant that prides itself on its heritage and long-standing reputation.

While Manjit's has been a pioneer in Indian cuisine for years, with multiple branches and a significant presence, it seems this success has led to complacency. The initial passion and commitment to quality that likely built this restaurant's legacy feel like they've faded, replaced by a sense of undue pride.

My feedback is simple: return to your roots. The essence of this restaurant was to deliver the best food with the best hospitality. Humility and a genuine commitment to service are integral to the hospitality industry. Recognising this could help Manjit's reclaim its position as a leader in the industry. Without this shift, it risks being overshadowed by newer establishments offering better quality and service.

It would be unfortunate to see a heritage brand like Manjit's fade away due to neglect of its original values. The restaurant has the potential to regain its former glory, but it must act swiftly and thoughtfully to avoid being...

We come here often. The food is fantastic and the whole restaurant is well laid out. The people are really polite and the service is quite good. There is a lift from the street level at the rear entrance which will accomodate a wheel chair easily and a waiting area withe most comfortable lounge suite. There is also a separate large dining area used for functions such as weddings and parties. There is a full bar as well. If you want to sit outside the balcony area is the go, but in summer the direct sun in earlier times of the day can intrude a bit at the fringe. Still, the balcony in good weather is our favourite area. Tables can be arranged to take qiite a large party. We have seen 12 or 14 people easily put together and the staff will seat as many as you like. If you want to put together more than that I suppose they could always put you in the large event room. Try for yourself. Entrees run around the 8 to 10 mark... a few are a bit more for you can order, say, a double tasting plate which serves four. The mains run in the 16 to 19 range so this place is not tremendously expensive especially regarding the quality...

Less than impressed! My boyfriend and I used to go to Manjits once a fortnight as our special outing together. At first the food seemed to be cooked fresh. We started going less and less because we were becoming increasingly disappointed but thought it would improve as we gave feedback to the waitstaff each time and they said they would take it on board. Most of the staff are friendly but at times we were interrupted too many times while trying to eat and enjoy each other’s company. The Malai Kofta are rubbery and taste as though they are microwaved rather than cooked fresh. On one occasion we mentioned this to the staff and they confirmed this but have not changed this procedure. Is it too hard to fry these fresh? The sheik kebabs on our entree were cold on our last visit and the lamb tandoor was very chewy. It is somewhat expensive and you expect quality and the food to be cooked fresh each time. We have decided not to give Manjits another chance as we were disappointed for the last time. If you are going to charge the prices you do and advertise fresh authentic Indian quinine then you need to...
