Populairste Indiase restaurants in Chinatown / Kensington Market

We were there celebrating a friend’s birthday which happened to be Valentine’s Day hoping to order from regular menu but they only had a Valentine’s Day special that we had to order from which we were not made aware of when we booked. It was pricier than what we would have spent and not the food we would have ordered. However it was all very good and service was great.

Great food. The restaurant is brightly lit. Great interiors. Slightly noisy which I personally didn’t mind. The rani kachori and tandoori grilled prawns were the best. Tadka daal was also very good. The Awadhi lamb shank was cooked well as was the dak bungalow mutton curry. However, the chicken biryani was very disappointing with very underwhelming flavors. Overall great experience and good to go in small groups as most items are shareable.

Three of us went for dinner before attending the theatre. We shared 2 entrees and 2 bowls of rice and had plenty of food. The only reason I didn’t give a full 5 star rating was because they had run out of Kingfisher Beer which was advertised in large signs outside the restaurant . We will return and sample other dishes, this time we had Butter Chicken and Basa fish curry.

We had a great dining experience at Carnival. Service was really awesome. Live music added best vibe for dining. Food quality and taste was same you would have in India. Highly recommended.

The chef was very meticulous in preparing the dishes and came to speak to us on several occasions! He was very good in explaining the various dishes w excellent recommendations. The presentation and taste of all the dishes were beautiful and beyond expectations!
