Indian Home Dinner

Been coming here for years since we used to live close by. Even now we still come back - it’s still the best . Recommend the #7 double tikka garlic jumbo. Bit worried it would close down after COVID, but so glad it has survived and thrived on the other side. Thank you Indian Home Diner!

A beloved Sydney institution according to the predominantly white, drunken crowd that it serves in Sydney's east, but there's severely limited food options in that part of town so saying it's one of the best late night eats in the area is like winning by default. That drunkenness comes into play because the food is ash. I don't mean metaphorically, I mean the food comes literally burnt, not just charred - burnt, and the acrid taste of burnt carbon is hard to escape if you have any decent palate. Both chicken and naan from the tikka come that way. Combined with the lack of care for temperature spoiler alert - naan gets cold quickly, if it's not freshly cooked it's cold it makes it a slog to get through it. And the curry sauce? Tasteless, amusingly bland as is befitting for the clientele coming in. I had rogan Josh and wasn't getting much spice or depth of flavour from it at all. There's many, many, easy to find Indian places that don't involve heading out to western Sydney for that make sauces more enjoyable than this, this would easily be amongst the least flavorful I've had in Sydney, period. Service is underwhelming- they don't speak up despite the noise so it's hard to hear things but also there's no real system- no hints about where to wait, how long, and where to collect and or pay even, and how they're tracking your order. The unfriendliness might be suitable for long lines of drunk crowds but on my visit I had just beaten that crowd, who came in promptly after I ordered. Then we come to the crowd itself - boisterous, ignoring personal space, not entirely surprising, but the numbers that this place are famous for seem to be a result of the throttling that happens - it seems like they are limited by the tikka coming from the back, so speed is not their forte which, I'm just putting there as guidance, I don't mark them down further for this. I don't have any positives about this place, that the concept is unique in Sydney is true but I'm eating the execution and not the idea. Like some late night kebab places you go because it's the only option available after a long night of drinking.

So freaking good - my friends and I inhaled our rolls in minutes. This photo does not do the experience justice and I wish I took a photo of the long queue and massive gather of customers outside all sharing the same level of excitement :" worth the hype!

Our takeaway meal was excellent. We bought a variety of lamb, chicken and veggie curries. They all had generous portions of meat / veggies and tasted delicious. Our sides of onion bhaji and garlic naan were great too. I highly recommend Indian Home Diner.

They make a mean kebab. Heard from a number of different sydney siders about this place and they didn't disappoint

The Indian Kebabs here are next level. They are so fresh and the fact that you have 12 different curry options allows you to try something different every time if you wish. 10/10 recommend. After trying many, my personal favorite is the #7 Kebab with Lamb KormaFood: 5/5

Their tikka Indian kebabs are you die for! Had one and will definitely be a repeat customer. No seating or tables so don't dine in, but they make up for it with food quality, taste and price

Been here many times and it never disappoints. I recommend getting the garlic and cheese naan with butter chicken!

Food is always fantastic... especially the famous chicken tikka kebab...but the service can be hit and miss seems to depend on whether the owner is lurking nearby.

Good value, good service, and yummy Indian curry! Hits the spot very well with the regular size and taste good! Very ideal late night snack ! Would be great with more modern deco / seatings
