Best Known For

Manjits 1950s Butter Chicken: a chicken delicacy half cooked in the tandoor and the other half finished the curry way with a creamy tomato flavoured sauce with a touch of pepper.

About Manjits Wharf

Situated in the bustling heart of Sydney with magical views of Darling Harbour, Manjits Wharf is the latest dining sensation offering a culinary journey to reimagined Indian cuisine. Immerse yourself in scenic surroundings at this Lime Street location, with inspiring vistas and a creative menu like nothing you have experienced before – changing your idea of Indian fare forever. A floor-to-ceiling glass frontage puts diners right on the water as crisp white tablecloths and softly glowing lights set a moody vibe, ideal for starters like a tender rack of lamb cutlets, marinated in spice and aromats, broiled in the tandoor. For the main affair, delve into the likes of fresh Balmain bugs cooked in coconut milk, topped with green chilli and curry leaf, teamed with rice, cheese and garlic naan.

Focussed on banquets, not solo diners
Quality indian food but as a solo diner, to get a main course & a side order of lentils, for example, you have to order 2 mains, which is too much and expensive.

Niomie

Jaggi’s service was so great. He is very pleasant and customer-oriented.

Nishat

Beyond Authentic
I have been a fan of Indian cuisine throughout my adulthood and have lived in England and visited Singapore, two major hubs. Yet it is in Sydney that I have found my favourite. Manjits flavours are to the fore, whilst using quality produce. Meat lovers may opt for the Lamb Shoulder or chicken, but even they will marvel at the vegetarian selections. When combined with professional service and a genuine hospitality, it all makes for an experience that is hard to fault.

dale75692

Best People, Service, Food, Setting, Ambience etc for that great Sydney Indian Food Experience
As the former General Secretary of the Australia India Chamber of Commerce INC NSW, I have know Manjit and his son Deep for over 20 years, with their function centre at Concord and previously at Angel Place, near Martin Place. Manjits @ The Wharf in Darling Harbour Sydney brings the Best People, Service, Food, Setting, Ambience etc for that great Sydney Indian Food Experience. Took a work business colleague of mine there for dinner - Manjits @ The Wharf took us by great surprise, with their signature dish,Lamb Shoulder Anarkali - too good and too taste. Its five stars all the way with Manjits @ The Wharf with Best People, Service, Food, Setting, Ambience etc for that great Sydney Indian Food Experience. A sister friend of mine, had her 40th birthday at Manjits @ The Wharf - Manjits @ The Wharf never stop surprising everyone, with so much WOW.

After having the pleasure of experiencing Manjits @ the wharf during a function that we where attending, I chose to come back again to host a work function.

We love going there for dinner the food is obviously the best but also the Service is 100/%

RosemaryM

Fantastic modern food with fabulous views
This restaurant is a culinary experience...the food is modern Indian so if you think Indian and need to think hot then think again it is filled with flavour and spices and not hot unless you ask for it. The presentation is wonderful and a feast for the eyes Staff are efficient and friendly and knowledgeable....the fish dishes are MUST eats.

silvana11934

Best restaurant !
Varun, Deep and the Godfather of Indian cuisine MANJIT are always there to make us feel incredibly welcome. But that's not all. The food is spectacular, tantalising our tastebuds with the clever creations of Indian flavours. The detail is second to none. After licking the plate, I want to take it home as it's so gorgeous. Then another curse arrives and then another and another. Never a problem, never disappoints, this restaurant is now our GO-TO place for all occasions, regardless of number of guests. The view is gorgeous and my guests are always impressed .

ross77299

Sensational food and amazing service!!!
This is fine dining Indian like you’ve never tasted before! Attention to detail and flavour is Varun Gujral’s speciality. Experience the rich tapestry of true Indian cuisine at Manjits - it’s a must! Service is on point, wine selection is great, view is to die for and the experience will keep you coming back for more!

charlie61757

Best Indian in Sydney!
I'll be honest, in my younger years I was never a big fan of Indian food, thinking that it ranged from nothing more than butter chicken to naan bread. However, after visiting Manjits @ The Wharf, I discovered that Indian cuisine combined with a fine dining venue, professional chefs and a creative menu is now one of my favourite foods to eat when heading out. Not only that, I will be heading to India in less than 2 weeks and I am sure that my palette is well prepared for the experience after having visited Manjits. If your looking for the best Indian in Sydney, this is it x

Fantastic venue and great food. Manjits and Varun are the perfect hosts. The lamb cutlets for starters are off the planet. Head chef Varun can turn it on with an off the menu long lunch that is a pleasure.
