Pros:
- Cheap food and generous serving sizes relative to what one would expect in Newtown
- Thali dish was served hot.
Cons:
- My friend and I ordered our dishes separately, yet all of my dishes came out 15 minutes before one of hers even came out (My dishes all came out in about 15 minutes). We had to remind the staff, and the chana bhatura and pappadums came out 10 minutes after.
- The pappadums are served in bowls covered in foil. These bowls look very dirty, and since they are covered in foil, one can assume these bowls aren't actually going to be washed every time it's been used. Meaning that people who are served these pappadum bowls may touch the bowls, and the sta...

After a heavy night out I was desperately craving some western creamy Indian curry. I had walked all along King street and this place stood out with the dark purple decor.
I was not in the right frame of mind to be spending more than 20 minutes deciding what I want (cause I usually do) so I played it safe and went with a mild butter chicken + jasmine rice and a garlic nan bread.
I love how the curry is presented in the old copper Bowles but I do think serving food for one person on three different plates is a bit much (just a suggestion on saving dishes and water?)
The curry was creamy and chicken was soft and had been cooked perfectly, I did ask for mild but it was a bit too mild that I...

I recently moved to Sydney and since my arrival have been looking for a good Sri Lankan restaurant within close proximity to the city. A colleague recommended Kammadhenu and I was pleasantly surprised! The kotthu roti was great - I went with the lamb option. The pan rolls had a great filling but seemed like they had been refried and the batter wasn't the same as a typical pan roll. Nevertheless the price you pay for the great taste is totally worth it. Can't wait to go back and try the hoppers!!
Visited Kammadhenu and had a masala dosa for lunch. It was okay. Had a kulfi for dessert, which was missable. I took ordered takeaway of fried rice, chicken manchurian and some rotis. The rice was fine but the chicken wasn't very nice. I'll try this place out again and stick to the South Indian dishes.
A short wait for a spicy, hot and tasty feed. There was a variety of vegetarian options, and they were all so delicious that I went there twice in 1 day. Generous portions and affordable. The staff are unassuming and friendly.
came here for dinner with a small group, was great atmosphereVery busy so we were waiting for our food for a solid hour, so were customers around us.

Do you love Indian food but lament the greaseness you often find? Forget that at this place.
