Love the yummy food and cool vibes there! Burrata tadka and goan charred salmon were both very creative fusion Indian dishes and we really enjoyed them. Malwani prawn and Madam’s special chicken curry were packed with flavours and went really well with naan.
We recently had a nice experience here. Ambience is cosy, with many fun cheeky posters. We went just after opening in the evening, so all of the items we got were entrees. Their menu is interesting with fusion takes on Indian dishes and also Indian twist to some western dishes, so we were curious to try many and we were not disappointed. Personal favourites were burrata tadka and the ceviche! It's always difficult to find a balance between fusion elements and credit to the team to try to create something different. This was the appeal for us to visit. The staff and owner/ manager were friendly and helpful and also listened to some of our feedback appreciatively. We hope to be back to try the rest of menu.
Madam Ji Indian Restaurant offers a very enjoyable dining experience with well-prepared dishes and quality ingredients. The food is clearly made with care, and the menu has a good range of classic Indian favourites. Everything was nicely presented and satisfying, though a little more depth and boldness in flavour would have taken it to the next level. Still, a great spot for a relaxed meal with good food, and definitely worth a visit.
I had a fantastic dinner with my partner at Madam Ji - excellent food and service. The cocktails were quite interesting too. I would be very keen to try out some of the other specialities very soon!
Madam Ji provides authentic and delicious Indian food in Darlinghurst! The aesthetic and vibe of the place is incredible and perfect for a girls night or a date night! Their lamb roganjosh and butter chicken hit the spot perfectly
My partner took us here for our anniversary. The service was amazing, the staff were extremely attentive and the food and drinks were incredible. By far the best Indian food I’ve ever had, accompanied by really good cocktails that complimented the dishes and flavours so well. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for an intimate dining experience with a level of luxury and good vibes. Will be making this a regular spot for date nights.
Absolutely love this place thought the flavours were unique and interesting. Highly recommend the Currys and the prawns, but everything on the menu I'm sure will satisfy you. Check out my food Instagram @erinxeats for more!
