Food as always been terrific. We've never had any problems with taste or quality. Also great value. The only problem we've ever had is the driver getting lost. (Craig - See my reviews (2) - October, 2012)

Over an hour late. Food stone cold. And free pappadums for orders over $50 not delivered. Would do well to deliver dosa separated from
Filling so isn't soggy by time arrives. (Penny - September, 2012)

The food is always delicious and super flavourful. Very expensive though and hasn't the quickest delivery considering its ready made. Cook your own rice while you wait for the delivery - they overcharge! (Daniel - See my reviews (10) - August, 2012)

Fantastic food. GREAT that you can order small, medium and large. Minimum order is a little bit too expensive, hope the food freezes and reheats ok?!? Delivery was slow, but I'm still marking it number 10 as the food was so good. Love Tamanas. (April - See my reviews (23) - August, 2012)

We always order Tamana's through menu log and the food is always very fresh, hot and exactly as ordered. Even though they usually give a time frame of 1hr they have always been here sooner. Thank you! (August, 2012)

The Chicken vindaloo is awesome as is the aloo palak, the chicken tikka naan is amazing as well. The garlic naan was cold and seemed to be one that was sitting there for awhile, but overall the food was great (Kate - See my reviews (6) - August, 2012)

I waited 3 hours for my food. Was very disappointed. I made the order at 6:03 and waited until 9pm then decided to buy something else after cancelling the order. Upon my return was the delivery man who lied to me about my order time and demanded the money and swore at me. Not happy. (Mark - July, 2012)

It was the worst experience that I have had. It took 2 plus hours to deliver from Newtown to Marrickville and the order was wrong. This was the last time that I ever order from them. I would rather starve. (Micheal - February, 2012)

I used to eat at the upstairs restaurant on King St and the food was great. I have been ordering take away from them for quite a while now. Unfortunately every time I order from them the food gets worse. The last meals I ordered did not even taste like curry, it was simply bad quality meat boiled in a salty gravy. I will never order from them again. (trevor - See my reviews (3) - January, 2012)

Took an hour and a half to get here (less than 5 k's away). food was cold and made me sick all weekend, typical business wanting to cut corners to maximise profit. If you want food poisoning then this is the one for you. Never again (Nathan - November 2011) (Nathan - See my reviews (10) - November, 2011)

Food was good. Love Tamana's butter chicken. We tired a new dish for us, the Keema & Cheese Dosa, and loved it. Delivery was a little late. (Dale - See my reviews (8) - November, 2011)

Great food, once again. The only negative thing is that you have to order at least $35 worth of food, then the $3 delivery fee. It's a lot to spend when your ordering for one. (April - See my reviews (2) - October, 2011)

Overall 6.3 - Food 7, Value 4, Speed 8
Arrived faster than expected and the choice of serving sizes is appreciated.
However, the vegetarian dishes were quite oily and rather bland. Rich spices and not copious oil make for authentic South Asian cuisine.
The $35 minimum order would make sense if there wasn't a $3 delivery fee on top of it. (Yasiru - See my reviews (9) - September, 2011)

Overall 8.3 - Food 10, Value 8, Speed 7
These guys are the bomb, seriously. I have loved their food ever since I first ate there, and it's just great that delivery is now an option (never any parking near their restaurant)
Occasionally the curries are a little oily, but that's the way they cook it. I'd complain about it anywhere but here.
Just wish there wasn't a $35 minimum when ordering! (See my reviews (3) - August, 2011)
