Review: Pind Indian Restaurant Delivery – West Pennant Hills, NSW



This post may contain affiliate links that I earn a small commission from at no cost to you. Please see my disclosure page for information.

After being very impressed with the delivery time and the fantastic flavour of the butter chicken we ordered from Pind Indian Restaurant the first time we got dinner delivered from there, we decided to go back. We were originally going to go back on Monday, but it turned out they are closed on Monday’s so we went somewhere else instead and left going here again until later.

This time we got the mild butter chicken again and decided to give the mild chicken tikka masala a try along with a side of onion pakoras.

So let’s start with the sides.

Onion Pakora

According to Menulog, the Onion Pakora’s are meant to be in 4 pieces. The description is:

Onion fritters coated in our savoury chickpea bread, fried until golden brown.

That definitely is not what they looked like. I didn’t mind them, though they did pretty much look and feel like soggy onion rings. They tasted alright. But, we were expecting them to resemble something more like the hundreds of pictures in a Google Image Search. Instead, they looked like this:

They did come with a sauce which was nice, I’m not sure exactly what it was. Possibly a cucumber yoghurt or something like that.

The Curry

Just like last time, the butter chicken was fantastic. It is still by far the best butter chicken I have had anywhere in Australia. It is the bottom curry in the photo.

The chicken tikka masala was also quite good, though it was perhaps a bit on the hot side for a mild curry. I know I ended up eating most of it as it was still too hot for my wife to really enjoy. The flavours in it though were full, and it was overall an enjoyable meal. Just be aware that if you don’t like hot food, even the mild is going to probably be a bit hot. It is the top curry in the photo.

Delivery Time

We had quite quick delivery last time, this time it did take over an hour, though. This is something that is fairly common in the reviews on Menulog. It isn’t a big deal if you order expecting it to take a while, just don’t order and expect to have it in half an hour.

Cost

The price is reasonably comparable to what can be expected at any Indian Restaurant. Some things are a bit more expensive, some a bit less. Overall it’s average, and I can’t really complain about it.

Save money on your holiday

Travel Money & Currency Conversion: We use both Up Bank and Wise for the best currency conversion rates with support for Apple Pay and Android Pay plus excellent in-app customer support while you are travelling.

Flights: We check a few sites for different prices. Travelling from Australia, I always check Qantas directly for reward flights, but otherwise, I check and compare the cost of flights with SkyScanner. It’s always worth checking alternative routes and days, especially where there are multiple stopover options or nearby alternative airports.

Accommodation: We usually book through Agoda as we find their prices are the lowest and cancellation policies + loyalty benefits work out the best. We also use Airbnb from time to time.

Car Rental: We use AutoEurope to compare rental car prices with all the big international brands like Europcar, Budget, Hertz and Avis. We usually end up using Avis or Europcar as they offer the best deals (make sure to check their current offers for bonus discounts) and both maintain their vehicles well with relatively new fleets.

Tours & Activities: We generally try to book activities through one of these third-party sites ViatorGet Your Guide & Klook due to their flexible cancellation policies (saved us a lot of money trying to travel post-COVID) and price guarantees (often better prices than booking direct). We also book through Red Balloon on occasion for more unique Aussie and NZ activities.
