Review Sammy's - Coogee

Ordered from here multiple times through Uber eats. Somehow on the app it’s called taste of India Coogee. Food is tasty. Nice Lamb biryani. The Aubergine curry is one of our favourite dishes. Portions are decent. Our order did get messed up once though with 1 missing item and 1 wrong item. I hope they pay more attention to orders next time.

Great place for authentic Indian dishes. The staff and owner were very friendly and the prices are also very pocket friendly.

I would give them negative stars if possible. I ordered from here for the first time and I don't think I will ever order again. The Gulab Jamun I ordered had mold on it and the syrup was stinking. I am very disappointed and may report this to the food authority. It is very irresponsible of them to sell food that has gone bad.

Food was not to the standard expected. On the menu each dish stated it would include coriander leaves and they all arrived without. When we asked where the coriander was, the owner told us all the people in Coogee have an allergic reaction to coriander and he will get in trouble therefore they no longer put it in their dishes. When I asked if we could have some, he gave us literally 3 leaves of coriander to go in 3 curries. This was a minuscule amount, and when I asked for more he refused. He was very rude, and considering there were only 3 tables occupied, the service was lacking. Coming from an Indian heritage, the food was very disappointing. However, towards the end of the meal he became more friendly and offered us ice cream.

I came for the first time here and the experience was absolutely ridiculous. I’m not sure if it was the staff member or owner whosoever behaved very rude. And whoever knows Indian food taste, they’ve the worst taste and worst staff behaviour. Never gonna order or return back there.

I have been ordering their Gulab Jamun and Chicken Tikka via Deliveroo since couple of weeks. Both of these dishes tastes good with good quantity. I am happy overall.

Manager and staff were too busy dealing with home delivery orders to pay any attention to us, so we waited over an hour for our meals. Won’t be returning, even though food is of a high quality, ambience is pleasant and toilets are clean and well stocked.

The food is delicious. Recommend the vindaloo and the fish curry. Nicely decorated and good service.
