Sydney, NSW
Best Indian in Sydney.
Harry's top 10 Indian spots in Sydney score 85–91 on the Harry Score. Prices run $ to $$.
The ratio is everything. You can tell within one mouthful whether the spice blend was built or poured from a jar. Harry does not require nuclear heat — he requires layering: base first, aromatics second, finish third. If the curry tastes the same at every temperature, the kitchen is not cooking. It is warming.
Ranked by Harry Score. The Harry Score is a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
