WOW, what a great experience. Arrived on time for our reservation and were quickly seated. After looking at the menu we knew we were in trouble and knew we were going to have way too much food...and we were right! Complimentary Papadums with Mint Yogurt Sauce arrived at the table before our food started coming out! And they were tasty. We ordered: - Butter Naan. Great naan. Just enhances an Indian meal. - Chicken Vindaloo. Was excited they could alter the heat level to a medium. Perfectly cooked. The sauce was flavored with tamarind, vinegar, garlic and red chilies. Perfect combination and the chicken was tender but not falling apart. - Daal Tadka. Yellow daals that were some of the best. The daal were cooked in an onion gravy to a soft tender lentil and not total mush. - Lamb Chops. The best lamb chops we have ever had. Presentation was beautiful. Three perfect chops, with a smallish salad and a mint sauce. We could have ordered 4 orders and been happy. - Cumin Rice. Was great mixed with both the daal and vindaloo. - Buttered Naan. The naan came out piping hot and gingerly topped with a bit of butter. What a meal. Maybe the best Indian food we have ever had. And we have had a lot in many different countries. Service was great. Prices were very reasonable. Recommend booking in advance. Highly recommend. read more

Was in Launceston on a road trip vacation. Wanted some Indian food and our b&b host recommended this spot. Best garlic naan and fish curry I have ever had. Perfectly cooked fish. Naan was so tasty that we added another order. Really friendly, patient service. Upstairs area was very inviting and great air flow. Parking was convenient - plenty of spots on the streets outside. read more

The prawn masala curry was darn good - sweet and tasty! The curry deserves a 4 or 5 ... ... but the prawns themselves did not taste great. If I ordered again, I would have asked for paneer instead of prawns. Also, the garlic naan was wet, but since I had mine for takeaway, maybe this was a factor. read more

I have eaten here twice now, once with a group and once with just one other person. Service is friendly and efficient and the food - the real inside story you want to know - was fantastic! Delicious, well cooked, presented and generous servings. Looking forward to going back again one day soon. read more

When you are away from home - you crave home cooked meals. So we ordered takeaways on a cold wintery day - butter chicken, lamb vindaloo and garlic naan. Lets say the naan was the best thing. My quest to find the best Indian in Australia so far has failed miserably. The lamb was boiled or cooked separately - well it seemed that way and then simply added to the vindaloo sauce. For that simple reason, I rarely order a lamb dishes at Indian restaurants. The butter chicken was quite sweet (but my kids loved it). And the naan was the winner! read more

If you're stuck in launceston trying to decide where to eat. Go here and you won't be disappointed. Waiting for the food to arrive took longer than I'd expected but it was well worth the wait. read more

This place is ok, just ok. The chickpea fritters suck, it tasted like they were out of a packet and served with sweet chilli sauce... Really? And then the curry, although was pretty good it was $21.00 for like a cup full. The naan was good. This places charges too much for what you're getting and has a reputation that exceeds itself. read more

Menu is reasonable for vegetarian and vegan options with a nice wine selection that is fairly priced. The service was ultra fast for the amount of patrons dining this evening. read more

Realized not a lot of Aussie's use yelp so Ill be the first reviewer for Pickled Evenings! We somehow stumbled upon this restaurant and our first experience was for take away, it was a cold evening and we decided we would have some curry to warm us up as we werent use to the COLD. My husband orderd the lamb madras and I ordered the vegatable korma. The madras was heaven, creamy and just the right spicys, my korma was good too but I found myself eating mostly off my hubby's plate as I couldnt get enought of this creamy heaven. We returned again at a later date for dine in and we ordered the lamb and chicken madras, perfection just like the first time! The spinach and cheese naan bread was nothing special but I recommend the garlic naan bread instead, so yummy soft and just the right amount of garlic. I just hope we can somehow find a Indian restaurant back home (California) that can deliver such an amazing madras.... read more
