The Spice Central 38 Broadway, Chippendale, New South Wales 2008

"I found this Gem of a place while searching for dinner options. The food tastes fantastic. Chicken Curry with Rotti was mouth-watering. Naan and Rotties are fresh and soft. Tandoori roti with Chicken or Lamp curry is a must-try. All the spice blends and tastes of the curries match with the Indian taste. A good portion of food for the money. Value for every penny. A must-try Indian restaurant around Central. Clean and ample dining area. Responsive service. The restaurant is located in the heart of Sydney."

"EDIT: New review I went back, as friends were keen for Indian in this area. They've changed their menu to reflect actual meals served, Dishes were good. Staff try their best. English is a barrier... So if you ask something and don't get it, keep asking. You'll get it eventually...one of our friends was Indian, that helped a lot. Moving rating from 1/5 to 4/5 stars. Old review: Really disappointed in this restaurant: the staff, the lack of quality ingredients, customer service, a number of the dishes on the menu are not available - the lack of care factor. They advised us that they won't ever have a number of items on the menu and never planned to?! Then why are so many of them on your menu's? If they were mis-printed, wouldn't you just score them off with a marker? It's dishonest. It was bad the first time we went back in early October, that I held off writing up a bad review, thinking it could have been due to COVID: lacking staff or them opening up a few months ago. We went again, it was the same and then because it's opposite the Sheraton, we had another team meal here. 3 times is not a one-off. This is a solid 1 star review from us."

"Was referred this place by my cousins husband. He said while in Sydney he attended this place 3 days in a row. As we arrived there were two large Indian families who had just finished their dinner - this instantly gave me confidence that this is going to live up to expectation. The curries did not disappoint. We shared the butter chicken and railway goat curry. The goat curry was exactly what I was desiring. The cheese naan was phenomenonal. Absolutely recommend this place and will be back again 100%."

"Heard of this new Indian cafe from the friends and came for dinner - the taste is really good, and we would rate 5 stars for the flavour. Drop one star for the price/serve - the serve is moderate for girls, probably not enough for guys, yet the price is comparably more expensive than other restaurants."

"Probably one of the best Indian restaurants we’ve been to, and we’ve been to many all over the world. Great food and great service although it was almost closing time. The curry and the lassi that we had had such rich flavors—not skimpy like others. About $68 for three curries, four naans, two rice bowls, and a lassi. A pretty good deal! And it was right outside our hotel—Four Points by Sheraton hotel."
