Kingfisher Indian Restaurant

There are several Indian restaurants in Dee Why, plus a Nepalese plus Afghan, not to mention one in nearby Collaroy Plateau. So we are spoiled for choice and as we enjoy Indian food we are determined to try each one.The first plus about the Kingfisher is that parking is easy.

We moved to this area and were told this was a great restaurant. Not now, in my opinion. Have been a couple of times in recent months for convenience. Food is ok but inconsistent...ie. the quality of the samosas, mint sauce, naan bread all can vary. Rice is good.Some sauces are just too salty..ie Bhuna, and are all a bit too similar to each other.Recently we were informed after ordering, that they were out of raita because they had been closed for a week...seriously?!There are two supermarkets across the road!!

What a disappointment. Rather than a variety of and balance of sweet, salty bitter, sour, astringent and spicy I got 3 dark meat curries that looked almost the same on the plate and were in the same flavour category a less than generous serving of rice and a side of roti. And the lamb was overcooked. And one galum jamon on the plate which was pretty good....

We waited two hours for delivery. Two hours ! They didn;t message me to let me know either - i rang up after 90 minutes and he told me the car had broken down. When he arrived at the house he told me the driver was sick - could;t even keep his excuses consistent. And not so much as a free popadom ! Food wasn;t too bad but two hour delivery is a joke.
