However, the problem was that the service was, well, partly good, partly bad - it sort of depend who was around at time time.

For many of us, half the fun of traveling is finding new places to eat that you don't normally get…read moreat home. When we were planning our Brisbane, Australia trip, my dad read somewhere that there is a large Indian population in Brisbane so the food there is authentic and very tasty. Of course, we are always down for a good Indian meal so we walked just a few blocks from the Queen Street Mall to Indian Mehfil and got ready to indulge. We arrived there a little after 5:30pm but because it's almost winter in the southern hemisphere the sun had already set and it felt much later. The restaurant looked much fancier than we were dressed but being the hungry folks we were, we didn't let that deter us. After being greeted by the very friendly staff we found our table and looked at the menu. Of course there was quite a bit of curries to choose from and being as hungry as we were we wanted to try everything. In the end we settled on the butter chicken with a side of garlic and cheese naan bread and the lamb vindaloo (they also had a kids' menu and our less adventurous girls chose the chicken strips). You know it's going to be a good meal when upon taking our order, the waiter asks, "How hot do you want it? Medium, hot, or Indian hot?" We wisely chose medium which offered more than enough kick for us. The food came out fairly quickly and the portions were very generous. In fact, the waiter advised us that one order was probably enough to share with two people and he was very correct. Even the kids meal was big enough for both girls. Overall, it was a very, very good meal. The food was very hearty and very well seasoned. Our lamb vindaloo had large chucks of tender lamb and I almost couldn't eat all of it (almost). And the butter chicken sauce was so good you could have just poured it over the rice and that would have been plenty. The prices were very good considering the exchange rate and the fact that you could share an entree. If I'm ever in Brisbane again, this place is definitely on my list of places to eat.

Their naan bread is perfect and the fish vindaloo is flavorful and spicy. If you are looking for good service and incredible food, this is your place! The only reason for the 4-star rating is the price. Fish vindaloo was $22 for a mid-small bowl, plus another $4 each for the naan and lassi (total of $30). Other Indian restaurants would have charged about $15 for that same dinner. Aamaya is significantly better than those places, but I don't think they are twice-the-price good.

If you're after a quick, filling and incredibly tasty takeaway, then I'd highly recommend checking…read moreout Halims. It's not merely a takeaway, it's actually a large restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, but I use it purely for takeaways. Takeaway usually implies comfort food (or just sheer laziness) which means that I clearly have a favourite (and, embarrassingly) it's the only dish I've tried. But when they make it taste so damn good, why would I bother with anything else? Anyway, the chicken tikka masala (YES, ok it's the most commonly ordered item at any Indian restaurant, after butter chicken, but hear me out) is incredible and definitely beats chocolate in the comfort food department any day. You can choose your spice level, but the sweetness of the sauce balances the spice, providing overall warmth to the whole dish. Oh, and the garlic naan. I love it because it's not oozing in oil and is delicious with the subtle sweetness of the garlic. My takeaway menu is a permanent feature on my fridge (don't know why I have a menu to be honest), but I'm not sharing it so go in and get your own.

I could go on for days about how much I adore this place but since I have other things to do I…read moreshall try and summarise my dining experiences from this place in one short review. Halims is possibly one of the most delicious Indian restaurants and never fails to disappoint in regards to food, service and ambiance. I find myself getting takeaway from this place ever 2-3 weeks. The standout factor is obviously the food. I have ordered everything from the tandoori meats to the Biryani rice dishes. Most mains are offered in mild, medium, hot or 'Indian hot' depending on how tough you are. The two dishes I find myself always ordering are the 'Palak Paneer' and the 'Chicken Tikka Masala'. Pair one of these curries with one of their freshly cooked naan breads and you shall feel like royalty. Another thing I love about this place is the friendly service the place offers. Every time I have been there, the staff will welcome you with a smile. The Chef will sometimes come out of the kitchen to view the dining area to ensure his customers are enjoying their meal. It is little gestures like this that can make your dining experience much more memorable. I would recommend everyone to try this Indian restaurant in Rosalie. It is a wonderful restaurant that offers excellent food and service with a smile.

Last night when asking for a "super mild" palak paneer - that's what I got. There wasn't a trace of heat to be found in my dish, and truth be told the mild butter chicken that my dining partner had was void of any great heat too. Win. It's fairly standard take-away Indian and for less than $40 you can feed two with plenty of left overs. The rice is complimentary and naan isn't as oily as I've had elsewhere. The way I see it, this is a handy take-away to have in your list of "go-to" places on the nights you can't summon the energy to cook.

Poor Nataraja. It's one of the only businesses I can think of that probably owes its lack of…read moreclientele entirely to the fact that it's hidden away. Tucked in beside Red Ocean Seafood and crouched meekly under some seriously thick tiled stairs, I think I glanced several times at the place before I even realized it was there; i.e.: Me: There's an Indian restaurant here now? Knowing Friend: It's been there for months, moron. Looking back, the bain marie out the front for take-away customers should have been a red flag. When I finally booked a table at Nataraja, I ordered the chicken tikka masala and my dining partner ordered butter chicken. (We were feeling giddy and reckless that night.) We sampled each other's food and agreed both dishes were pretty good. Actually, I disagree with my fellow people who say they love Indian food but actually mean Westernized substitutes: the best butter chicken in Brisbane is not at Miss India. Nataraja's butter chicken is tastier - less overflowing with cream - and probably a centimetre closer towards being actual real Indian food. The interior of the place is nice - darkish and elegant - and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful to the point where they can anticipate your next request. It's just a pity Nataraja is so hidden from the road and (if my deranged mind is any evidence) even frequenters of this Red Hill shopping village.

When choosing a place to eat at Southbank, Gandhi Curry House wouldn't be my first pick…read more Unfortunately, it's the only Indian there and whilst most restaurants along the Little Stanley Street strip are on the pricier side of dining, for what it is, Ghandi Curry House isn't good value. Between three of us, we ordered two meat curries and one vegetarian, rice for three, and two naans and the cost worked out to around $30 a head. Whilst an expensive feed of Indian, the curries were good and delivered to our table quickly. Otherwise, service left a bit to be desired--staff could have been more attentive as they took a long time to retrieve the payment and deliver our change. All in all, nothing special, but if you find yourself at South Bank really craving a curry, Gandhi Curry House will satiate the taste buds. Note: evening closing time depends on amount of business.

The buffets are finished now and that is a great thing because the food on the a-la-carte menu is really good.

We found pieces of cinnamon and cardomom pods in the sauce and the naan were actually cooked in the tandoor oven. The poppadoms and rice are complimentary too which we really appreciate after paying as much as $5 for a small serve of rice. BYO is a plus too! 29 April 2017 We've been a few times for the Friday and Saturday night buffet, which at $20 per head is really good value for money.

The great part is that if you want something that's not on the menu, if they've got the right ingredients, they're happy to make it for you (at least this has been my experience). The Bhoona Beef ($15.90) and the Chicken Jalfrezi ($16.50) are highly recommended. Just to let you know, there is also Goat Curry ($18.50) which is divine, if you like caprine flesh.
