Tabaq - Newtown

I moved to Sydney in 2008 in the search for real authentic curry cuisine. I have travelled most of the world and British curries were rated the best. Till I found this place in Newtown.. OMG By far this has to be the BEST curries I have ever eaten, WOW. Highly recommend.

The food was great. A bit spicy. Service was bit slow but excellent staffs, Ambience in general was good. BYO with no corkage! And excellent value with cheap price. Very similar to a curry from the UK

Very disappointing take away meal. bland, overly sweet and generally dissapointing. $50 i'll never get back.

I would not recommend this restaurant due to the high prices, mediocre flavors, and excessive use of salt. One visit is sufficient.

The Lahori fish is the standout dish at this restaurant. It is hot, seasoned with "essential Pakistani spices," and absolutely delicious. Despite ordering it spicy, the heat levels were just right and did not overshadow the flavor. We will definitely be coming back here. A major plus was the lack of background music, allowing us to have a conversation, and the well-lit dining area made it easy to see our food. On the downside, the portion sizes were a bit small and it took an hour for our food to be served. The take-away orders were being picked up and delivered during that time. The small balti pans were also a bit on the small side.
