Reviews Summary
Mian's Restaurant offers a mixed bag of reviews, with some diners praising the authentic Indo-Pakistani flavors and friendly service, particularly for vegetarian options and dishes like Chole Bhaturey. However, several patrons express disappointment with inconsistent food quality, small portion sizes for the price, and slow service. Some reviews suggest a decline in quality from previous visits.
"Mian's Restaurant is amazing! They have many choices for the vegetarians out there. Today, I tried their
Paneer Korma, and Inasked for spicy. They did not fail! It was delicious, every bite! Their mango chutney and Naan bread was the perfect side for the spicy main!
Give this restaurant a try. They are worth the visit!"
Gregor “Vegetarian Scout” Mac Lean
"I went to Mian for a take out and the food was complete disappointment.
My order was Hyderabadi chicken biryani. Chicken tikka masala and butter naan.
Hyderabad chicken biryani - the food was way off from what it should actually be. To put it in other words it was a chicken khichdi. The look of the food itself wasn’t appealing.
Chicken tikka masala- it was an orange watery sauce and few pieces of chicken and few pieces of onions floating on it.
Butter Naan- These Naan breads I expected it to be authentic Naan made in clay oven. Instead they are store brought bread most likely from Costco and which are not naan breads.
Real disappointment in the name of Indian food and for the prices they are selling it’s a rip off to the local crowd.
The food is not fit to be restaurant quality and moreover feels like it’s been made by a person who has no prior experience or who just started cooking for his own but somehow managed to find a job in a restaurant."

"This place use to be so good. It is absolutely terrible now. The last few times I have eaten here the wait times where more then an hour. Food quality is down alot and if you place an order they can not get your address or phone number right. I will never step foot in this place ever again. This was my favorite spot in sydney. Do better"
