Curries are always popular, but it always pays to remember that not all curry houses were created equal. If you’re looking for one of the best curries houses in Blacktown – if not the whole of Sydney – then you need to get over to Dawaat on Main Street. They’ve got a veritable checklist of curry house classics: a location that is easy to reach, right by the main Blacktown train station and the shopping centre; a decor that evokes the best of the Indian restaurant tradition and a menu that is packed with all the favourites that are required to make that Indian experience unforgettable.

The elements are simple, but it is not easy to do them as well as they do at Daawat in Blacktown. Tandoori specialities to start – a meat eater's paradise – or for veggies, fried favourites such as aloo tikki and papdi chaat and to follow, a range of curries that includes well known dishes like korma, madras, vindaloo and rogan josh and lesser seen house specials like Mysore chilli chicken, with plenty of fire, beef kohinoor, featuring diced meat in coconut, cream and cashews and malai kofta, a dish of potato dumplings in an almond sauce. Head to Main Street for some of these specialities and more – just remember to reserve ahead of time to avoid disappointment.
