Good experience dining here. I have visited a few times and the food and service is great. It doesn’t taste authentically Pakistani like many restaurants in Melbourne in terms of spices and flavour intensity but it’s still very delicious.

Matching our lockdown takeaway eating to items we can’t cook at home, we hit up Lal Qila in Surry Hills. This Pakistani restaurant, which has a second, fancier-looking restaurant in Darling Harbour, makes great use of the tandoor. Plucked from an extensive menu, Naramdil Galafi Seekh ($17.90) are spicy minced chicken kebabs served on a simple selection of cooling salad with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Aftabi Tandoori Phool ($16.90) gives tender florets of charred, golden-hued cauliflower flavoured with garlic, ginger and spices. From the range of tandoor-cooked chicken dishes we opted for the Pakistani favourite, Murgh-e- Musalam ($20.90), where yoghurt, vinegar and spices gave an almost creamy surface that contrasted well with the chook’s charred edges.Cooked on the side of the cylindrical oven, the fluffy garlic cheese naan ($5.90) here is a contender for Sydney’s best. Khumb Pulao ($7.90) and Zafrani Mater Pulao ($7.90) are simple rice dishes, respectively dotted with mushrooms and garden peas. We saved the bulk of them to freeze for a curry night later in the week. A generous Shouq-e-Nawab (BBQ Biryani) ($24.90) rounded out our meal. Well-separated long-grain Basmati rice coloured with saffron hides plentiful hunks of tandoor-cooked chicken. We tried it for dinner but kept the bulk of this spicy rice dish for lunch the next day, with an accompanying cooling, home-made mint raita. Not a bad outcome for a takeaway meal for two that cost fewer than a hundred bucks.

Overpriced. Food was decent however the portion sizes for the delivered order was really disappointing. I’ve attached photos below. According to the ones on google the portion sizes looked at least double the size from what we got. I find 6 small chunks of average chicken for $27 real steep. 2 samosas for $17 is an insult.

Lal Qila is one of best Indian Pakistani restaurant. Very authentic recipes. Visited very often. Ordered full chicken tandoori as on tray. I must have to say this was very tasty beyond We expect. Then ordered goat biriyani as main course. It couldn’t reach our expectations because we rarely found meat in the dish. It was full of bones instead of meat. Then we got butter chicken and prawn handi with garlic nan. And yeah it was good.Goat biriyani is not recommended. But other dishes are good.I would recommend the restaurant because of the authentic sub continental taste.

Great food, good service, all the Indian classics done just right. Good price, all we could eat (and a lot more) for around $55 a person. BYO with a bottle shop just around the corner. Buts what’s with the no splitting bills it is 2022 you know.

This is the best Indian food i tried so far in Sydney. If you plan to come here,Just get butter chicken and enjoy it. It’s real deal. Will come again and will invite people to your restaurant with confidence.

The food was incredibly delicious, and the Ras malai was absolutely awesome. It was so good that it left me feeling extremely satisfied. I'm truly delighted to have visited this place. Moreover, the customer service provided by Ms Ritu" was top-notch and exceeded my expectations."
