Manjits Wharf

Terrible hotel I have ever experienced in Australia. I've always believed that Australian Hotel Industry is friendly and welcoming. But this hotel is an exception. This hotel will not let you sit if your order is even a dollar less than $30. This hotel will tell you that they have a table cloth of $10 on each table which forces you to eat min.of $30. We tried to convince them to serve us the food. But they prefer to let go off their customers than serving them. It's Ok to maintain such 'Pathetic' policy of stating minimum consumption amount. But it's NOT OKAY to tell us arrogantly that, even the table cloth costs $10. And if you can't afford the table cloth, you better shut your business rather than pushing that cost on the customer.

Food was good but customer service was really bad. Our friends recommended us this place from Melbourne but I won't go there again. As the food was coming in instalments. They forgot few things in our order. It's not cheap due to the Harbour location but very poor customer service

We went to the place for the first time yesterday, and I must say what a disappointing experience! First, the portions are tiny. You take a bite, and it's over. Second, small portions don't mean the food is delicious; instead, it the bland/flavourless. Third, the service is not the best. The staff is not rude; it is just that they don't want to bother asking you for your order. It took us 20 minutes to find a person to take our order. Last, there was soap in the wine glass, which was replaced by the staff later. Overall, it is a highly overpriced place for the kind of food and service they offer. It is a good place to burn extra money but not so good for having a pleasant dining experience.

Food tastes very bad. Not even close to Authentic Indian food. They are more focused on presenting food than taste. Quantity is very less. Way too expensive. High shop vapid food. Only good thing location.

Abusive and bullying behaviour by owner to staff. Where do I even begin with this place? After eating out at some of the best restaurants all around the world, I have never found the need to write a review about a restaurant, until now. What we witnessed was awful to say the least. Tonight was our last night in the city, we were really hungry and decided to go looking for food when we came across Manjits at the Wharf in Darling Harbour. Upon entry we were ignored by an old man with a turban (who I will be referring to as the supervisor) we he looked at us and turned his back on us and kept on fiddling with papers, we stood there for 10 minutes, until a lady appeared and asked us if we wanted to dine in, we said yes, which is when the supervisor turned around and was like sorry I thought you were with them (a lady who was running around looking for a bathroom), we then proceeded to our table. Our meal service was nothing great, the restaurant was really busy so some things were a bit delayed, food was dry and salty and there was some confusion about tables and orders, nothing which we would ordinarily need to express. However, our issue is not with the service but with the preceding events. Seated next to us were a family of 4 (3 ladies and 1 man). I could see them pull their faces throughout their meal but didn’t think much of it until we we finished our meal and went to pay for our meal. When i proceeded to pay for the meal we saw a whole heap of commotion by that family of 4, yelling at the supervisor about their table not being cleared on time. The supervisor asked who didn’t clear their tables properly and they said many people including an Indian lady. The supervisor then proceeded to yell at a waitress at the restaurant and tell her to come over to him and the family of 4, she did while holding 3 glasses in her hands quivering (which indicates to me that the preceding behaviour which unfolded had occurred before). The supervisor asked whether the lady had served the family of 4 and she said no, that is when both the family of 4 and the supervisor all began to abuse this poor waitress, the supervisor started yelling at her and told her, “because of you my friends have suffered you know that?”, the waitress then asked “what happened?” The family of 4 yelled at her and took the glasses out of her hand and waved it around in her face, pointed at her and held her while they said that she didn’t clear the tables properly while the supervisor also continued to yell at her at the top of his voice. The waitress apologised and said it was busy to which the supervisor responded “just shut up and get out of here”. Disgusted is an understatement, I felt sick to my stomach and could only imagine the hurt and humiliation this waitress was feeling because of the supervisors bullying. I looked at my husband who was just as confused (as he only heard bits of the conversation as we was waiting for our doggy bag in another part of the restarting), we looked at the waitress who went and started cleaning tables again. We left the restaurant because we were in shock and disbelief and honestly couldn’t comprehend the abuse we had witnessed however, as we were walking back to our hotel, I told my husband everything I heard, he phoned the restaurant straight away to lay a formal complaint against the supervisor. When my husband informed him that there was a better way to manage the situation without abusing his staff and yelling in front of other patrons he proceeded to tell my husband to jump into a lake, I then took the phone where the supervisor made threats against me that he would ruin my career and asked who the hell I was to interfere when he spoke to his staff. We both asked to speak to the waitress and he refused. Please stay away from this restaurant and do not encourage this sort of mistreatment, bullying, harassment and repulsive behaviour. If you know who the waitress is please ask her to reach out to us, we would like to help her.

We had the tasting menu and it was simply divine. Our lovely waiter, Samika, was super friendly and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Highly recommended.

I went there on my birthday with my group of friends. Entreè food was tasteless(and of course, overpriced), main was good. Asked for mango lassi, came with ice. As soon as we tasted it, we came to know that something was wrong with it. I removed the ice and checked it, it was not cold, that means it was not fresh. However, complained to supervisor, requested him to taste it & he told me that there is nothing wrong with it & walked away. Some waiters’ service was pretty good, whereas some were grumpy all the time. Just ruined my birthday. Never recommend.

The food took more than an hour and 45 mins to arrive.Worst service I have ever experienced at a restaurant.The place is so understaffed and the staff is very rude and unprofessional.The entrees were served after an hour and half of waiting- food was stale and cold. Would not recommend. We were excited to try the food but it was extremely disappointing. There are great views of the harbour but no one in the restaurant was able to enjoy them because we were all positioned towards the kitchen. Couldn’t even get basic service and professionalism.

The food was great and we had decent service. The view is awesome. The high cost there is also for the location, so bear that in mind if you're reading how others don't see the value in what they paid for their dining experience.

Very good fine dining restaurant. Definitely I will go again. Food was amazing. Very good service
