Had Family Pack take-away last night.
Food arrived on time. Plenty for four adults.
Curries rich and creamy. Kerala beef and vas was a point of difference by featuring coconut and southern Indian flavours.
Well done to Ish team.

Just WOW! It's been a while since I've been this blown away after trying a new restaurant! (Currently doing 50% off through theFork! Don't miss out!!). I've never tried Indian Fusion cuisine before but I just don't think it can get any better from both service and taste POV :) It was classy and stylish inside and I liked how the staff were very knowledgeable about the menu, knowing all the ingredients in every dish.
We tried Sambar Arancini ($16), South Indian Spiced Duck Pâté ($15), Tandoori Lamb Cutlets ($25), and Crusted Spanish Mackerel Ghassi Curry ($28). I have nothing but great things to say about these dishes! Sambar Arancini had these interesting flavour profiles from tomato chutney, tempered coconut, and pearl cous cous - complex but absolutely delicious! The Tandoori Lamb Cutlets were cooked to perfection with nice char and were tender and flavoursome :) The Crusted Spanish Mackeral Ghassi Curry was creamy but retained the thick consistency which went wonderfully with naans. The mackeral was huge and cooked to perfection - crispy outside, juicy inside. Overall, it was savoury with a light spicy kick.
But, my absolute favourite was South Indian Spiced Duck Pâté - which came with brussel sprouts and naans (best nans ever - fluffy and chewy w/ garlicy aroma). The Duck Pâté had this rich dense flavour which went extremely well with the naans. You could taste the Indian spices but they were not overwhelming enough to ruin the balance of the dish. It was truly one of the most unique dishes I've tried in my life - truly exquisite! I will probably visit again just to try it again. Overall, such a pleasant dining experience! I can't wait to visit this place again in the near future :)
Was told it was Indian food. Each dish had a touch of India to it but nowhere near the hot and curry items
I am used to when it is called Indian. It is quite pricey and the dishes are small. If you want to share you might have to order 2 of each for a table of 4. Wine list not great. Service very courteous and prompt. The venue small cafe style.
