Utsav Indian Restaurant

Arrived for my booking and they were closed. Did not call me to say they would be closed.

Absolutely nothing provided to drink other than water. Doesn't indicate this. Not he best Indian Cuisine that we have experienced.

We booked the restaurant after reading a number of reviews on trip advisor. Overall we found the food pretty average. We have been to a number to Indian restaurants over the years and this place could be a miss without regret. We ordered naan which was good. Rice seemed to a little dry possibly held under a warmer and I could feel the rice while chewing. Meat dish was ok. We ordered tandoori chicken which came out looking over cooked. A lot more char than we are used to hence the chicken was dry and sauces was quite runny. This place needs to lift it’s game on Indian cuisine. An an Indian myself I genuinely cannot recommend this place

BYO only at this stage but there is a bottle shop around the corner and corkage is only $2.50 pp

Took an hour and a half to get food... Food tasted like the stir through curry sauces you buy at a grocery store.

Staff were lovely, food was awesome. Would definitely go back

Nice food, but for whatever reason very long wait for entree and mains - in access of 1.5hr.

The best Indian food in Newcastle, in my opinion. They can vary the heat in most dishes so those with a more sensitive palate can still explore the menu. They have a few dishes you won't find in any other Indian restaurant locally AFAIK.

Was amazing food and great prices

Really enjoyed our meals
