Kanishk - Table reservation

I visited here after having Kanishk recommended to me and was overall impressed with my experience. Service was good - staff were friendly and accommodating and the turn around time from order was quite quick (about a 15 minute wait). There is plenty of seating at the restaurant so there didn't look like a need to reserve a table but would recommend considering a reservation if you went on a weekend possibly. The food more importantly, was great! The menu is quite extensive with southern and northern dishes offered, all at reasonable prices (expect to pay about $20 for a main). The curry I had ordered had an amazing sauce that I was really impressed with. There is some parking available onsi...

Nothing but praise for Kanishk. We love Indian food and this is not the ubiquitous greasy takeaway version, but real food caringly prepared. Don't be misled by the suburban exterior and affordable prices; service, food and décor is top-notch. All dishes ordered were excellent. Embarrassing to admit, but we must have been quite audible when we were discussing the price of ordering enough mango lassis for the whole family (we didn't order them) - without a word, when our meals appeared, two small mango lassis were also placed in front of our 2 daughters, not charged to our bill. We were SO impressed, and next time we want to go somewhere nice Kanishk will be our number one choice.

We tried out Kanishk on recommendation from several people. My husband ordered the mild butter chicken but it was so hot he had to send it back. It was exactly the same heat as my 'Australian hot' chicken madras so that explained everything. Both dishes (once the error was rectified) were ok. We had the papari chaat as a starter - just be aware it's a (very) cold potato dish. Interestingly the people on the next table returned 2 of their 3 dishes saying they were inedible due to being so oversalted. The service was very good but we were a bit put off by our experience with the butter chicken mix up and it's always off putting when you see other diners returning their food.

We order kadai chicken and what we found is big pieces of chicken with too little curry. And the chicken is also dry. Very disappointed.

For spice lovers, be sure to request "Indian Hot" or it will be fairly mild. Kids love the butter chicken. BYO.
