I went there for dinner and had a great time. The menu offered a variety of Indian dishes I hadn’t seen before—it goes well beyond the usual curries and samosas! I tried the Indian version of nachos, and that was the highlight of the night. It was an explosion of flavors—tangy, bold, with a hint of turmeric. Really interesting and unexpected! We also had the lamb and chicken curries, which were both tasty and well-cooked. My only comments are about the portion sizes. The mains are quite small for sharing, and the naan bread portion was very limited (we received only one piece). I’d suggest offering at least four pieces per order, especially if it’s meant for sharing. Breakdown of my score: Food: 8 out of 10 Service: 10 out of 10 Location: 9 out of 10 Value for money: 7 out of 10 Overall: 8,5

Don't Tell Aunty is one of those places that instantly grabs your attention - from the funky neon signs to the bold colors and cheeky menu names. It's modern Indian with attitude. Cocktails here are just as creative.I tried ‘Spicy lil auntie’ and I loved it. Service was friendly and quick, with staff happy to make recommendations. Absolutely worth it for the quality and experience. Would I come back? 100% YES. And don't skip dessert: Cheesecake was the perfect choice.

Thank you Dipesh and your excellent team for welcoming me twice on the couch as a walk-in at DON’T TELL AUNTY, simply one of the best restaurants in Sydney. The spicy food is utterly delicious and imaginatively presented. This is a large exciting space (rightfully packed, but never overcrowded.) Buzzy and vibey with great sounds. Birthday boys and girls are serenaded with the usual anthem, sparklers and crowned with a turban! For me, a solo traveler, it was particularly memorable because on my first visit I made two fabulous new friends; Teddy and Elijah. One of my top Antipodean memories. Thank you 🙏 and Please Tell Aunty!

It is a great indian restaurant, and very popular. It gets busy very quickly, and it is better to book beforehand. The staff is very friendly and kind. The food was very delicious. Very tasty! Everything was perfect. :)

Very cool vibe!! The wait staff and the food was wonderful. Not your typical Indian restaurant...which is exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommended, we will be back!

The food was great! We paid 78 AUD pp for the basic tasting menu which came with 4 appetizers and a bit of 6 curries. The appetizers were great, not pictured are the papdi shots and tandoori chicken. I highly recommend the tandoori chicken and the rest of the appetizers. The curry platter was a good tasting experience but I recommend trying it once and then ordering what you like. The service was phenomenal and our servers were rockstars .

Had a regrettable experience at this highly recommended restaurant. While the food may be decent, the service was a major letdown. Staff seemed disinterested and unengaged, failing to provide the level of hospitality expected from a top-rated restaurant. Improvement needed in customer service.

The ambience of the restaurant is hip and trendy. However, the food is not better than the typical Indian restaurants and it was way overpriced. The curry pots were teeny tiny and the naan was so thin it was crispy and not fluffy and soft.

A absolutely superb in every way. We went there for the first time last week and we blown away. Impeccable service and a very nice and airy large semi-industrial space that still feels comfortable. The service was impeccable, they have a full bar and the food out of this world. In particular the appetizers. If I were to die while eating their "crispy balls" (cannot remember their exact name) I would die a happy man. A must
