When talking a bushwalk in the Blue Mountains we always visit the Arjuna afterwards. The food is excellent - one of the best Indian restaurants. The Korma is really great! Go straight to the main course, the starters are only average compared to the rest of the food. The atmosphere and view of the restaurant are really nice, too. There is one drawback: The service is really horrible. Not only once, oh no. It was horrible every time I've been there. Here some of stuff that happened there: - they refused to split a bill when we were there with several people - the waitress once took the order of my friend, then just turned around and went away - she forgot to take my order, but that day we were just two people. How can you forget one patron if there are only two at the table? - one time we asked for some more tap water and had to wait 45 minutes for it - minor stuff which all adds up: there is one waitress who never smiles, sometimes they don't light the candles, talk a bit rudely As you have probably guessed it's not the service we are coming back for. If you can tolerate bad service in exchange for good Indian food, then I recommend the Arjuna.
SUPERB. I was so ill with jetlag and the flu when I got to the Blue Mountains that I just craved a super hot curry to blow the cold out. Looked up on google maps for an Indian and luckily the first place was only open for dinner so I ended up going to Anki's. Don't worry about the modest appearance - looks aren't everything, especially in this place. I'm glad I followed the last review's advice - the goat vindaloo IS superb. I asked for hot and they gave me the most amazingly spicy yet TASTEABLE curry I have ever had, usually when I ask for super hot it just ends up killing the flavour completely. Not the case here. The waiter was most helpful and when asked if I wanted naan for me and my partner, I asked how big then went "Oh maybe two then" and was advised not to. Which was the correct advice - the naan was big. All in all, best Indian ever - even my partner who has rarely ever had Indian was very impressed. 5/5
