Magic Curries Indian Restaurant in Battery Point, Hobart TAS

What the hell is this food? Inedible -Like nothing I have ever been served from an Indian place b4 -The nan's were chewy reheated and vile the samosa like from the inferno of a volcano and the sheeshkebab was fish
Would never ever recommend this place ever

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Magic Curries, an authentic Indian gem nestled in Hobart. From the moment I stepped in, the inviting aroma of spices set the tone for a memorable experience.

The menu is a tapestry of India's diverse culinary landscape, offering a delightful array of dishes. The main course was a symphony of tastes, with the butter chicken stealing the spotlight—a perfect balance of spices that left my taste buds dancing.

The staff added to the charm of the evening, providing insightful recommendations and ensuring a seamless dining experience. The ambiance, adorned with elegant decor and soothing music, transported me to the heart of India.

Really good Indian food! We had just the classic butter chicken and garlic naan bread combo and wow it was probably the best I have ever had. Will return!

Food was excellent and the staff were very friendly.
We had the butter chicken, palak paneer, rice, nasty and some lime pickle. All very very tasty

Small cozy restaurant servicing great Indian food and wines. The service was friendly and efficient. A must-visit for Indian food enthusiasts!

Spice level: MILD TO MEDIUM

1. Malai Kofta: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED- this is the best Malai kofta I had in Hobart, not too spicy nor too sweet just perfect. The creamy and rich flavoured curry was irresistible.

2. Garlic Naan: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED- The naan bread was perfectly fluffy, and bursting with garlicy flavour.

3. Dal Makhni: RECOMMENDED- The taste was good, like home made. However, I personally prefer a thick consistency when having the dal outside.

4. Pista Kulfi: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED- They offered a complimentary desert – Thank you guys
It was rich and satisfying treat. It was dense, creamy, and velvety, providing a rich and indulgent experience with every bite.

This place was absolutely horrible last night. Went for birthday dinner and left with disappointment. Firstly, The lady who served us treated us insanely bad.secondly, Food was below average except curry. It’s our 4th visit and had never encountered this lady before and now it’s our last. We’ll definitely warn my friends and family from going here. I request the owners to be respectful towards your community people too. Lastly, please remember to smile to customer, it won’t cost much. Would give 0 out of 5 for poor hospitality.

Very expensive restaurant for the quantity and quality of food served. The Entree were a complete non- starter

As described, magical curries!
The rotis were absolutely fantastic and the flavours in the curries were scrumptious. Definitely going back again!

Bad experience, not like, bad hospitality
The chicken gravy masala. I honestly don't know I think maybe they just forgot to add chicken, only 2 pics, and over spicy, and was just generally unenjoyable. The chicken was also tough and over cooked,
Not recommend don’t want to go next time.

Worse experience plz maintain quality don’t use rubbish chicken or may be change chef this is worse I ever feel

On a positive, the cheese paneer was pretty good.

The naan serving size was laughably small (no literally, we made jokes about it)

The chicken tikka masala. I honestly don't know I think maybe they just forgot to add any cream at all? Was very dark, abit burnt tasting, overly spicy and was just generally unenjoyable. The chicken was also tough and over cooked

Side note, to Indian restaurants as a whole, pls just give us rice with the mains, does anyone actually not order rice? Who are these poor riceless people?

If you took the time to read my rant, cheers aye

Ps, the puck is the chicken tikka masala

You will be looked after here in every way. Great efficient service dine in or takeway doesn't matter the Curries are fantastic. Has to be in the Top 2 Indian food houses in Hobart.

A quaint little restaurant in a charming heritage setting. We had the chicken sarg and Kadahi goat. Goat is not on the menu, you have to ask for it. I
The goat curry was fantastic and I could rave more, but just try it. You won't be disappointed.

Visited a restaurant close by and decided to try this place the next day. And im so glad i did! The food is to die for! One of the best Indian food I've had. I got veggie korma. My mum and partner also loved their dishes. I was craving the veggie korma days later!

After reading couple of good reviews and above average rating, I was excited to visit this place.

I ordered Onion pakora, Chicken Butter Masala and Cheese Butter Masala (it has paneer in it), cheese naan, roti and laccha paratha.
Onion pakora was served with lettuce and a mint chutney (Unfortunately I was very hungry and I couldn’t capture a pic of it). Onion pakoras were good and fresh, roughly 6 small pieces (not a generous quantity).

Butter Chicken was very sweet (some might not enjoy it very sweet) & chicken pieces were very tender and well done.

Cheese Butter Masala was well done and it wasn’t over spicy. I liked it most.

They do serve complimentary sliced onions. The service is quick and staff is friendly.

Maybe it's a busy Sunday night, we had to wait for about 40 minutes to get our food. Luckily the food wasn't disappointing. Unfortunately, the staff didn't show much care of their customers, we believe a 5 star restaurant should include a nice service. The place was crowded and loud, the staff left food on the table even if we answered who ordered that curry, they just leave it on the table then left. Check your bills before you pay as they did overcharge us. They prepare us what they think we should order instead of what we literally order and eat. Be aware!

Really awesome taste, very patient and amazing service with really friendly staff. We came in a large group and we had delicious food and great service from the staff. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Been to Sydney, Melbourne and some other cities but in the last 4 years haven't tasted anything like this. Curries are exceptional, perfect balance of spices and gravies. Rotis are so thin and well cooked unlike most other restaurants where u get a thick raw uncooked dough. This has to be the best Indian food I have ever tasted so far in Australia.

We wait around 1hour for the food. It's very very bad customer service. My kids was staving. Eate before you go to this restaurant.

Best indian restaurant i ever had in whole Australia.
Authentic indian home made flavour in curries.
