Magic Curries Indian Restaurant in Battery Point, Hobart TAS

Beware of raw chicken and hair in the mango lasi We ordered tandoori chicken and it came raw, we alerted the owner and she had a second chicken cooked for us which was also unfortunately not cooked as well.
Zero star for this restaurant. Eat the chicken at your own peril!

I've eaten here more than any other place in Tasmania, the food is exquisite, the place is beautiful, the staff are super friendly and their service is top notch! I'm used to the food scene in Melbourne and Sydney and I just can't get enough of it! Thank you guys for what you do!

The delicious palak paneer i have ever had. Worked as Chef in the industry, thanks for great quality of food.

Food was good, and was happy with quantities too.
However, the service of the main lady/manager was horrible, it was clear that she prioritised serving the caucasian customers over anyone else, even though everyone there was a paying customer. She was rude, unfriendly and overall ruined my experience at the restaurant.
Don't recommend if you're a non-caucasian person looking for a good dining experience.

It was really terrible experience at this place. I was shocked that Master chef did not know the difference between Paneer and Cheese and prepare wrong dish than as usual standards. The owner was even not sorry for that and then have to order other Curry which was fantastically worst than previous one. The owner was focused on Charging for those curries and giving excuses about their mistakes to just runaway from their responsibility. Yeah. Its magic curry which will ruins your dinner date. Customer service can not be expected if you are keen to explore really good indian food there are really plenty of amazing restaurants in Hobart.

Magic Curries is absolutely amazing. The food is delicious, and the customer service is fantastic! Preeti is really nice. She will try to make your experience at the restaurant great. She helped us make suggestions for the food. Definitely will come here again.

Confused by the reviews this place receives. We ordered the vegetable korma and it literally didn’t taste.will not be back that’s for sure. We understand this is a mild curry but that relates to spice not flavour of any sort. Lucky we had some rice to fill us up. The customer service was also not good. Rude and pushy. Very unpleasant experience.

We tried some biriyani (friend told its delicious and the portion was quite OK), Malai kofta, chicken something curry and garlic naans. Food was fine (kofta balls are just 3 or 4 for the portion, size of marbles), tried mushroom pakora which was average as Indian restaurants here use the same batter for starters (onion to fish). Safe option for friends gathering and all kinds of occasions.

#Quite loved by locals and tourists

##Parking is a big CRY especially in busy times.

#I have read the owners replies for few of the ratings and complaints, so i do not want to comment anything about ambience.

###Felt little uncomfortable as the reception after entry was quite a judgmental or a kind of cheap look by the manager or owner (personal opinion). May be the brown skin is even a problem for browns too or got too much absorbed in just serving Caucasians. Whatever the explanation or response the owner gives, i felt uncomfortable as i did not witness a welcoming smile, or enthusiasm in welcoming the guests especially tourists (friends from Sydney).

Dear owner and manager of the restaurant, we are all quite successful in our fields and doing very well with respect to everything you expect living here (pharmacist, nurse, civil engineer and finance assistant). Please get that feeling from your head possibly as people can afford and casual looks does not mean we are cheap in terms of affordability. I expect a self loathing response from the owner or atleast a rude explanation with added intelligence. On the contrary he was extremely helpful and very nice to locals. I just expected the same treatment.

We visit here without fail on every trip to Hobart. It’s such wonderful food with the fullest of flavours that never disappoints. Great location up the hill from Salamanca. Service always friendly and efficient. Highly recommend.

I come here whenever I come to Hobart (I'm from Melbourne). I love this place. The food is fantastic and the staff are friendly. I've been here heaps of times and they've never put a foot wrong.

Eating my dinner now and feel compelled to review. Fantastic, helpful and friendly service, intimate clean setting, and truly magic curries. Rogan Josh to die for. Will be definately dining here again. Thankyou for a lovely experience.

Loved the food and service. Outstanding and beyond what we expected. Mix Pakora platter was very good and pakoras were very nice. Owner made sure that we enjoy. Service was quick and prompt as well as efficient. Quantity was very good compared to price. Mango Lassi was really good and we ended ordering one more. Recommended very much

Very friendly staff, they cooked me a meal after closing time when I had just arrived in town and was struggling to find somewhere to eat.

The food is very tasty and the interior is cosy. Highly recommend.

Magic Curries is my wife and my favourite place to eat in all of Tasmania! The dining areas have a wonderful atmosphere which reminds us of the euro-Indian, cultural colour of India! The most enjoyable part of dining at Magic Curries is being served by our new friend, Preety, who has remembered our faces and who has always asked how we are doing and how our new married life is going! Magic Curries’ menu offers an array of delicious Indian dishes, sides, and desserts that always makes us feel satisfied and happy for having chosen to eat!

God bless you Preety and Magic Curries!

Fantastic food and well presented. Friendly and very helpful service. We as family from Canberra loved this restaurant thoroughly. Highly recommended to anyone looking for authentic tasty Indian food in Hobart. Best wishes to Manju and Anil Sharma. #LageyRaho #TadkaLagaKe

Super tasty Indian dishes for a reasonable price, with rice included (!) with the curries, and very accommodating and friendly staff.

When a review is from an indian lady about indian food as 5 stars, believe it! This place serves the nicest crispy naan breads & the REAL indian curry taste without compromising ANY indian flavours! Absolutely delish! A must MUST must GO! ️️️

As our party required gluten free options for some, I was pleased to see so many things available for this dietary requirement, including some breads.
We tried the meats for the first time (we usually choose old favourite curries) and were pleased with this choice. I would certainly recommend the lamb cutlets.

Brilliant food and fantastic service. I had the butter chicken and it was done to perfection. Finally found somewhere that does a proper in house brewed chai (listed as spiced indian tea).

Some of the best curries I've ever tasted! Great service and short wait for such an amazing feed!
