Garbage. The ordering process was bungled and took 4 attempts of giving our name and number,…read morebecause 2 people were trying to answer the call. We ordered the couples pack, and asked for cheese and spinach naan. Despite the couples pack stating "naan of your choice"- we had to pay extra for cheese & spinach naan. Apparently "naan of your choice" means "naan of your choice from either plain or garlic". Whatever. We ordered medium chicken tikka masala, and mild lamb korma. When we got the food home, we found we didn't get the spinach & cheese naan we had paid extra for. The dishes had only about 8 chunks of meat in each- hardly any. The tikka masala was mild, not medium. The lamb korma was hard, chewy, and in a weird green sauce. Not at all like what we are used to. Flavors bland. Entrees burnt. Never again. At least it was cheap.

The Northside had a serious dearth (none, actually) of great chaat places until the Spice Valley…read moreIndian Store opened up its adjoining chaat restaurant. Managed by a lovely Gujarati family, this restaurant is true to the Mumbai style of street food (Mumbai's the boss of Indian street food anyway) and features crowd favourites like masala dosa, utthappam, vada pal and samosas on the menu. The Gujarati influence in the food is very noticeable where pickles and preparation is concerned. As Gujarati food is mostly vegetarian, you know that you are getting your money's worth with wholesome fare. I often see them shop at our local farmer's markets and it's assuring to me knowing that they use fresh vegetables in their kitchen. Of special note is the thaali they serve - it comes with the softest chapatis I've had. I also loved their aloo parathas - bursting with potatoes and well-kneaded dough. The Spice Valley chaat restaurant is easy on the wallet too and if you plan on having a night out with your mates, go for it!

As the steady stream of photos indicates, I've found Spice Valley's restaurant to be a convenient…read moreand delicious stop, being next to a train station on the way to the northern sights. It doesn't offer much in the way of service or ambiance; it isn't even particularly clean. But I'm all about the food, and they deliver. The menu includes a range of tasty fried things, most of which I've sampled at this point. Many of these chaat items aren't easy to find. Highlights include a dabeli (a potato-peanut burger) and dhokla (some kind of savory chickpea flour cake with super spicy toppings), but I've yet to pick a bad one. For main dishes, their thali is one of the best food deals I've seen around Brisbane, offering no less than four curries, rice, three pieces of bread, some garnishes, and a bit of dessert all for a low price. To eat anything more than that, you have to be seriously hungry. But don't neglect the rest of the menu. A range of street food items, from dosai (crepes), idli (rice cakes), channa batura (fried bread and chickpeas) are delightful in flavor even before you add in the onion and chilli on the side. I still have yet to try their Indo-Chinese dishes, but I am reasonably confident that more delicious pictures are coming. Everything is vegetarian (and reasonably vegan-friendly if you ask), and you'll leave full for cheap. I often stop at their adjacent grocery store as well, where I have picked up a few Indo-Chinese items, as well as some snack foods and spice mixes. There are bigger grocery stores out there, but I like the selection at this one enough, and it makes for a convenient dual visit if I'm on my way back to the city.

I ordered a Chicken Vindaloo lunch size from the Chermside location in Very Hot. While the flavour…read morewas good and the chicken and rice were cooked well, it was more of a medium heat. I was also delivered very quickly so speed/service is good. When I order very hot I expect the type of heat that leaves you reaching for tissues to blow your nose halfway through, the type of hot that makes you savour your meal. I wouldn't be able to place it on the scoville scale I will say that if you're familiar with Buldak noodles, this was closer to the carbornara than the 3x I was hoping for.
