    Best Indian Restaurant ever!! Nothing like I expected it to be. Most Indian restaurants serve the few basic Indian dishes with monotonous spicy taste but not Lal Qila.

    Nice place for halal food at darling harbour, Sydney. If you are entirely not happy with something on the menu, ask them to make adjustments. They are really accommodating and with great service.

    Absolutely amazing food. Been to so many Indian restaurants in Sydney, this is the best so far. Generous portions at good price. Balanced flavour and spices.

    I only moved here 2 weeks ago and have already had dinner here twice. Absolutely delicious curry. My default is the Murgh-e-Mughali, chicken curry with pistachios and mushrooms. DROOL.

    Loved the descriptions of each dish...history and flavors all in one. Ask for the special Pakistani bread not listed on the menu. Goes well with all of the dishes

    I’ve tried many food places but Lal Qila is by far my favorite halal Indian restaurant in Darling Harbour, Sydney. A decent place for small gatherings.

    The biryani is very special, try it! Chilli chicken curry was good too but way too oily. Portions are very generous for biryani. Bring friends or family!

    Great Indian food. Not much space so make sure you reserve a table. Palak paneer is great.

    The best and most authentic Biryani in Sydney. Try the Lamb Dum Biryani.

    The tikka starter was good, but the curries were off balance and pricey for the quality

    Delicious. The tandoori, butter chicken, and garlic naan were divine. Can't wait to try other dishes. Friendly service. BYO. I'll be back.
