SpiceIn Indian is one of the better Indian restaurants I've eaten at around Brisbane…read more Despite its simple shop layout, like many other Indian joints you can find scattered around the place, the food itself can't really be beat in Brisbane! I've been here a number of times over the last year, and have been able to try a number of their dishes. The western staples: Rogan Josh, Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken are all done very well here. Throw in some samosas and naan bread, and you'd be doing well for dinner! It's pretty good value for money too, and they do dine-in or takeaway. They have lunch specials between 11am and 2pm, so if you're in the area or shopping at ALDI, I'd recommend you sit down and enjoy a meal. I also had the tandoori chicken naan yesterday for the first time and it was delicious! Probably a bit heavy on the ghee, so a bit greasy, but otherwise very tasty and it's a small meal in itself.

I accidently walked into this Indian restaurant that was located in a shopping complex in Oxley…read more During the weekends they offer a $16 lunch buffet. It includes a good selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The buffet included about 4 vegetarian dishes, 3 meat dishes, roti, and two types of rice, south Indian dishes, and regular dosa server hot and Indian sweets for desert. The food is cooked with love as the owner (wife) does the cooking at the back of the kitchen. The food is cooked fresh and not pre-pared curries like most Indian restaurants. The meat dishes match or exceed the average Indian restaurant and the vegetarian items were very good. Additionally, the price was very good for the quality and selection. This may be the best kept secret in Brisbane for Indian buffets. They only give you a single plate for your servings and please do not get offended as it is understandable from my observation. This great quality buffet attracts a lot of cheapo customers & they seemed to hoard their plates like they just came out of a hunger program or from the Sahara. I witnessed their crude and poor manners and they do not seem to appreciate food but rather indulge in greed. The owner working the counter was a very humble nice man with commitment to his food. According to the owner, his lamb dish & south Indian dish are famous among many Indian patrons. I highly recommend this place and confer on the recommendations they were yummy.

What a great little place Shanti's is. They serve traditional Indian/ Sri Lankan dishes and the…read morefood here is amazing. The 'Butter Chicken' is done a little bit differently at this restaurant as it comes with a dollop of sour cream swirled atop the curry. Not only did it taste fantastic it looked extremely appetizing. The owner Shanti and her husband run and manage the restaurant and work on the floor waiting on customers and serving. They make a really good team as they are attentive to when customers are ready to order and they serve out the dishes quickly. The staff here dress extremely casual, which would be fine for lunch orders, however, I think for dinner they should wear a type of uniform to create a more professional appeal- Even if it was an all-black uniform. The table settings are simple here. For a small family run restaurant like this, it's not necessary for the lavish cutlery and plates. The ambience is nice, there is traditional Indo-Lankan music playing softly in the background, however, I find the menu boards on the walls are comparable to a local fish and chip shop. It doesn't work quite as effectively for this Indo-Lankan restaurant. A lovely place to dine for casual lunch or dinner, however, if you plan to dine alfresco, please note your view will be of a parking lot. I love going to this place for take-away but occasionally after shopping next door at Woolies, I come here for lunch.

Food Review: Ordered Butter Chicken, Butter Naan bread and Coconut Rice. The Butter Chicken curry…read moreitself was not creamy. The Chicken pieces were inconsistent, some were tender, some were not. Some had the flavour through it, most did not. Both my partner and I were not a fan of the Coconut Rice, and we usually LOVE that stuff. This Coconut Rice has actual pieces of shredded coconut and quite a lot of it. There was also other ingredients in it also, but I wasn't sure what they were. The naan bread was super oily and complimentary papadams given on seating were stale/soft/chewy. Experience: My partner and I came by Bite of India not knowing the previous business was no longer there (it was previously another Indian restaurant that we had been customers to for about 10 years). After entering the shop, I greeted any staff I saw. I exchanged some words with the lady who was manning the cashier once I realised they were new people. She said they'd been open for about 2 weeks now. I went outside to confirm with my partner that he was still happy to order takeout knowing the business had changed. We both agreed to try. We ordered takeaway (our usual of Butter Chicken and Naan bread) and expected the waiting time to be approximately 30-40 minutes but after paying by card she told me the wait would only be 15 minutes. We then opted to dine in since we were going to go somewhere else in the waiting time thinking it would be longer. She then told me the prices were different for dine and takeaway, which I know is normal, and I told her that would be fine and we will pay the difference. After being seated, she told me the difference would be $2. I told her I did not have any cash on me and that had to go and get some cashout. For $2, I would have appreciated being told not to worry about it. I ended up not being able to withdraw cash and asked if I could pay the $2 with card (there was a $10 minimum). After some conversation about her needed to ask the owner etc I was pretty put off the customer service here. After we finished our disappointing meal, she allowed me to pay the $2 difference on card and we left. As a new business, knowing that we were clients of the business previous selling the same type of food, you would think they would be more friendly and welcoming. The whole experience was terrible.

This is the saltiest indian food i have ever eaten. Every single dish was over seasoned. There must have been a tablespoon of salt in the rogan josh in particular, maybe more honestly. Nice decor though. Would reconsider if over seasoning stopped. For now, can not possibly recommend.

Over the past twenty years I've tried the competition that pop up from time to time in the area, however no one ever comes close to a Rajan and his family at Raja Indian for quality, flavour, generosity in sizing and consistency .. they recently started doing deliveries some weekdays so that's been a bonus.
