We dined at this restaurant with another couple and did a banquet. All of the food was absolutely devine and we will most definitely return. The wine list has a lot to choose from and plenty to suit all budgets. The staff were very helpful and were hapy to hold our mains until we were ready for them. Even though... More

In my experience, the best Indian food in Sydney. The starters are especially interesting and perhaps next time I will compose a meal from them. Though my wife loves the railway goat curry. A very good selection of wines and beer. Friendly service. More

I enjoyed Abhi's at North Strathfield for the last 15 years, so it was great to find that Kumar's second offer, Aki (named after his younger son, Abhi is the older...) is just as good, only in classier venue and location. Food is great, sophistication is the word here, and I mean it in a good way. There are plenty... More

I enjoyed an evening meal at Aki's during my stay at Mariner's Court Hotel. I did not book but rather walked in on a Friday evening. They were quite busy but staff could not have been any more accommodating. Aki's is located amongst many restaurants along the old wharf area at Woolloomoolloo in Sydney. The food (I eat vegetarian) was... More

Not only was it the most expensive Butter Chicken I have ever had, but also the smallest in quantity. All I can say was thank goodness I didn't pick up the bill! The Goat dish was nice, but there was more bone. I'm putting it down to location (Woolloomooloo). It was nicely placed, but not the best situated restaurant on... More

Disappointment is the word I would use to describe this restuarant,, not because of the food or the location, but the service, which was horrible, and two prawns in a curry to share was quite a surprise,,, not to mention the other dishes had to be asked for,, and didnt arrive till later... I had a better meal in a... More

We were craving a good Indian meal towards the fag end of our Australian vacation and this place was recommended by friends living in Sydney and also our concierge. It’s located at the Woolloomooloo finger wharf and if you get a table outside, the setting is nice. The food was really authentic – we had the Patiala mutton curry and... More

I believe this is the first proper up-market Indian restaurant in Sydney. It has the first spot on the Woolloomooloo wharf and so a very Sydney feel. The food is excellent - lighter and less salty than most Indian and very varied in style - every dish left us wanting more. Chilli is used sparingly (almost too sparingly for me,... More

With much anticipation we arrived early at Aki's to sit out side and enjoy the magnificent views of scenery and well-heeled patrons headed to various restaurant along the wharf. However, the food was ordinary to say the least, some dishes the curry was bitter. A trip to the bathroom left us shocked with the filth, the sink area was black... More
