Ciel Rouge - Darlinghurst

Guys, THIS place is fab! Seriously the dishes are very good.

This restaurant in Sydney is one of the best Indian restaurants around, offering a must-try experience for those looking for authentic South Indian flavors. I tried the Masala Dosa and Garlic and Pepper soup, both of which were delicious. The soup had a perfect balance of spicy pepper and flavorful garlic. The ambiance is great for dining with family, and the service is friendly and polite. The prices are reasonable compared to other Indian restaurants in Harris Park, making it a worthwhile visit. The restaurant opens at 12pm, and I visited at 1pm to find a decent crowd already enjoying their meals.

We had the seafood banquet for 8 people. The service was very good and all the food was fantastic. The prawn starter was very tasty and the dosa was nice and crisp. All the mains were very good. In particular the fish and chicken were great. Definitely the best Indian meal I have had in years.

The restaurant had a great ambiance with a sophisticated feel, unusual for a curry house. Although the vegetable samosas were a bit disappointing and tasted more like a French onion soup pastry, the garlic and cheese naan made up for it. The fish curry was excellent. I also got a beef vindaloo for takeaway to test out their spice level. The service was outstanding. I would definitely return, but I would choose a different starter next time.

This was a nice dining experience. Many north and south Indian options, veg and non-veg. They have a vegan menu as well. Good selection of wines and cocktails. Service was attentive. Moderately priced but not cheap. Its full on a weekend, so you will have to book ahead.
