Comments on: Guru Restaurant for Indian French Cuisine, Surry Hills http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/12/04/guru-indian-french-restaurant-surry-hills/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Have heard things about both the regular/vegustation so it would be great for my boyfriend and I, and the food looks great! Definitely not the sort of thing you'd have every day :) Oh oh oh I have wanted to go here for ages!

Indian ( to put it broadly) is one of my favourite foods, however sometimes the classics are classics for a reason. I think the pics look splendid and your descriptions evocative. You can't doubt the che's pedigree having been under MPW's wing either. I'll put this on my 'interesting & possible' list! Hmmmm…looks interesting.

La Porte Des Indes in London tries to do the same but I feel it fails when it comes to fusion as it's heavily dependent on the Indian side of the equation and there's not much originality (nor is it very good. I'd choose Chutney Mary over this one anyday). Do you reckon you'd go back once you've tasted the novelty though? Wow this fusion restaurant is actually fusing the two together!

Do you reckon you’d go back once you’ve tasted the novelty though?
