The cheese naans from here are truly one of the best I’ve ever had in Sydney! It’s about $5 and takes 3-4 minutes - recommend to eat it while the cheese is still melted

One of the few places where you can find truly authentic Indian food. I absolutely love the food at Paakwan Indian — it's delicious! The chicken and meat were perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and tender. Excellent customer service as well. A big thank you to the ladies at the counter for their patience while I took my time placing the order. Looking forward to visiting again soon

Food was amazing. Garlic nun was very soft. Madras chicken and mix veg korma combination is best.. Must try.. Girls on service was so friendly..

the food was amazing, staff is nice and kind, I actually ordered 2 choices of curries but instead, he gave me 3 but of course with a smaller amount. the buttet chicken is like usual, juicy and not dry, but for madras is a bit dry but still taste excellent. samosa was ok, but they need to season it more, and the samosa is perfectly fried unlike months ago when I was there, the samosa is undercooked

Excellent food, friendly staff and quick service. I have tried vegetarian food here many times, every time the same tasty food.
