A
beloved
Sydney
institution
according
to
the
predominantly
white,
drunken
crowd
that
it
serves
in
Sydney's
east,
but
there's
severely
limited
food
options
in
that
part
of
town
so
saying
it's
one
of
the
best
late
night
eats
in
the
area
is
like
winning
by
default.
That
drunkenness
comes
into
play
because
the
food
is
ash.
I
don't
mean
metaphorically,
I
mean
the
food
comes
literally
burnt,
not
just
charred
-
burnt,
and
the
acrid
taste
of
burnt
carbon
is
hard
to
escape
if
you
have
any
decent
palate.
Both
chicken
and
naan
from
the
tikka
come
that
way.
Combined
with
the
lack
of
care
for
temperature
(spoiler
alert
-
naan
gets
cold
quickly,
if
it's
not
freshly
cooked
it's
cold)
it
makes
it
a
slog
to
get
through
it.
And
the
curry
sauce?
Tasteless,
amusingly
bland
as
is
befitting
for
the
clientele
coming
in.
I
had
rogan
Josh
and
wasn't
getting
much
spice
or
depth
of
flavour
from
it
at
all.
There's
many,
many,
easy
to
find
Indian
places
that
don't
involve
heading
out
to
western
Sydney
for
that
make
sauces
more
enjoyable
than
this,
this
would
easily
be
amongst
the
least
flavorful
I've
had
in
Sydney,
period.
Service
is
underwhelming-
they
don't
speak
up
despite
the
noise
so
it's
hard
to
hear
things
but
also
there's
no
real
system-
no
hints
about
where
to
wait,
how
long,
and
where
to
collect
and
or
pay
even,
and
how
they're
tracking
your
order.
The
unfriendliness
might
be
suitable
for
long
lines
of
drunk
crowds
but
on
my
visit
I
had
just
beaten
that
crowd,
who
came
in
promptly
after
I
ordered.
Then
we
come
to
the
crowd
itself
-
boisterous,
ignoring
personal
space,
not
entirely
surprising,
but
the
numbers
that
this
place
are
famous
for
seem
to
be
a
result
of
the
throttling
that
happens
-
it
seems
like
they
are
limited
by
the
tikka
coming
from
the
back,
so
speed
is
not
their
forte
(which,
I'm
just
putting
there
as
guidance,
I
don't
mark
them
down
further
for
this).
I
don't
have
any
positives
about
this
place,
that
the
concept
is
unique
in
Sydney
is
true
but
I'm
eating
the
execution
and
not
the
idea.
Like
some
late
night
kebab
places
you
go
because
it's
the
only
option
available
after
a
long
night
of
drinking.
