I bypassed several very nice alternatives to try this restaurant, including Tian Ran Vegetarian…read morewhich is a couple of doors down. This place is not exclusively vegetarian, but they do ask everyone if they're vegetarian/vegan and offer separate menus, and there is quite a bit going for it from a plant eater's perspective. It's a small place, and has oddly blue mood lighting (blame them for the picture quality on my food pics), but nice enough and not far from the end of the light rail line. What I got was a lentil soup, which was pretty tasty but not that substantial or filling for the price (wouldn't order it again) and a bread and chickpea combo. The latter wasn't all that great of a portion either. Those were some grade A chickpeas though, the medium spiciness level hitting the spot perfectly. The potato-filled bread to dip them in was not bad either. If I came back again (which I might), I'd order a main dish. I might also get takeout, as there's a 10% discount, and I could get food from here and Tian Ran for the same meal, which sounds awfully appealing. Anyway, as Australian Indian restaurants go, this one seemed competently run and I liked what I got.

However, the food was extremely bland for Indian cuisine. I ordered vindaloo shrimp (prawn's is what Aussie Call shrimp), garlic naan and rice. My Vinaloo wasn't extra spicy like I requested. It was mostly saucy with only one potato in it, and My naan wasn't garlicky. My cousins both got mango chicken which both said was too sweet and mostly sauce with no meat. My big sis was the only person who was somewhat satisfied with her veggie curry. For my meal to be $42 it definitely was a waste of money because I wasted most of it. Disappointed we didn't like the Indian food in Gold Coast cause I'm on vacation from California. Had to write this review since I can't get a refund...

Although modest and a quiet restaurant at first don't let this fool you. The food is to die for!!, I had the tandoori prawns and Fish Madras in a full flavoured coconut sauce. Genuine curry is made here with pride, local Indian community also dine here, with Bollywood tv going. It's a great place for groups or a quiet dinner for two. Although it's on the main highway it's not too noisy. They take the time to make curry properly unlike other fast food versions. It's an absolute must try this venue.

I managed to locate this rather under the radar vegetarian place (at the northeast end of the…read morestring of shops on this island), only to find they weren't offering anything made to order. Instead, it was a cafeteria-style place. They had printed menus to that effect, and I am a bit baffled as to how someone else was able to review a place with this name and this location that was completely different. Did they change business models? I may update if I find out. But rating it for what it is rather than what I expected it to be, it was still kind of a disappointment. A large platter yielded several basic offerings-lentils, vegetables, potatoes, and noodles-none of them bad but all of them relatively banal. The highlight was probably a salad that came on the side, but even that had been sitting out a bit too long. All of which makes this kind of an off-brand Govinda's, which isn't great because there is a Govinda's a few blocks away and closer to the beach. They had some special deals for students and, interestingly enough, cab drivers. To all of Gold Coast's Yelp-reading taxi drivers, you might want to check this place out.

I think I've been spoiled so much by my fave local Indian restaurant, that I just assumed all Indian food was amazingly delicious. Thanks to Oberoi's Taj for bringing me back to earth and showing me how good I had it. The food was so bland, which I didn't even know it was possible to do with Indian food! I asked for my food extra extra spicy and honestly didn't taste any spice in it; the people who were with me had similar experiences with their food. I tried the veggie stirfry, the dahl, and the naan--they were all "meh". I wouldn't recommend this place, and if I were back in the area I'd try any other restaurant first.

That being said... maybe I was drunk on endorphins or wine but we had an absolute blast and we loved everything about this place. It was family owned and we were starting a family! Can you believe that? But seriously, one thing I noticed on my trip was that service at restaurants that weren't family owned was piss poor most of the time. There must be something about TIPS that makes people want to show you a good time. Go figure. Anyway, the place was packed inside and the food and service made no negative memories whatsoever. We tried so many dishes and all of them were delicious. I left there on cloud nine with a full belly. Give it a shot.
