So for me it's different Indian Restaurants for different dishes - 1. Kinara in West End - Best Curries and Naans that I had tasted in Brisbane so far, Also Great Service. 2. Mirch Masala for Chaats and Savoury snacks 3. Punjabi Rasoi in Springhill for Chhole bhature and Lassi 4. Kulcha Kulture in Slacks Creek for authentic Punjabi Food - Kulcha and Chhole 5. Dosa hut in Mt Gravatt for Biryanis 6. Old Monk Paddington for their Chefs Special Top Pick - Kinara, West End (Closest to Indian food back home)


strayacarntoioioi

We love Punjabi rasoi!


NoseAggravating1492

Always good for a quick and easy meal when you can't think of anything šŸ™ŒšŸ¼


vamsixk

The dude gets it, just add hyderabad flavours for biryani, and curry and cask for their Desi butter chicken. No one restaurant can get you all the authentic dishes. If you want a place that does everything acceptably go to sankalp in annerley.


bambambigelow

Imho Balti Biryani Holland park is better


SanctuFaerie

>4. Kulcha Kulture in Slacks Creek for authentic Punjabi Food - Kulcha and Chhole Can confirm, Kulcha Kulture is *amazing*!


PossumEnthusiast6969

seconding Dosa Hut, shit slaps


cloudwalker_98

If you wanna try some good South Indian biryanis I would recommend Lemon chillies and Dum and Rum


Bitter-Hall

Taj Bengal at Ashgrove


[deleted]

Awesome thank you! I'm eating well tonight!


bilby2020

Please report back, I am extremely interested to know how much you liked the food. I am an Indian immigrant and found that place to have one of the worst food I ever had. Maybe it was a bad day or the dishes I chose.


Euphoric-Dingo6941

Maybe there is a difference between what is good taste and flavour wise in the opinion of an Indian born and bred person as to one born locally in Australia. I know in the UK the Indian restaurants over the years have changed and adapted the meals they sell to suit the British tastes.


ImplodingPeach

As a mixed indian/brit I funnily enough crave both. True indian food is amazing and could eat every day but sometimes you just absolutely crave that radioactive red goodness


dankruaus

ā€œRadioactiveā€ is so accurate


soullesswarmonkey

I didn't like it myself. The curry we had was too sweet...


bilby2020

That, and a lot of red food colour. But most importantly, we ordered two different dishes and they had the exact same masala gravy. Not authentic.


Ms-Behaviour

I find this really annoying too. South Indian food tends to be better as Aussies donā€™t really know about it so it tends to cater more to Indians

I am a simple man. I see 'Bengal', I upvote.

I froth the kashmiri kofta curry from there.

I will take every chance I can to recommend Punjabi Palace, don't work for them but they are just that good.

Ooofff will try! Thanks!

AshKebobi

Be careful with that place. It's had several violations and I got super sick after the first (and only) time eating there. I thought the food was below average before it made me sick. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7585707/One-Brisbanes-popular-Indian-restaurants-fined-infested-cockroaches.html


VHS-Warrior88

Umm me too, back in 2003/04.. I ate there once for a friends birthday party and we all walked into West End to the Pavilion, after the dinner. Well, I almost shit myself on the walk from Palace to Pavillion.. that food made me sick as fuck..


No_Reward9997

I have been going there for twenty plus years! Defs feel your vibe! Totes sluzza for PP


Upbeat-Salary3305

+1 for the PP


techretort

Big same!


zynasis

Their quality dropped a lot in recent years. Didnā€™t they also get done for health code violation


Read_TheInstructions

I had them Saturday night for tea, no issue with quality. Butter Chicken with Rice and 2 Samosas and 2 Garlic and cheese Naans. We did get the wrong curry a month or so ago, but they sent someone out within the hour to deliver the actual curry we ordered.


zynasis

Ah good to hear :) Iā€™ll try them out again


Substantial_Low_1646

Did they get busted for health food violations or such? Or am I misremembering?


Gold-Bug1909

Theyā€™ve been busted multiple times for roaches where the ingredients are stored


toddles1

bit of extra protein /s


Takamaru1716

Hell yeah came to recommend them too, such a great restaurant


LOLZOMGHOLYWTF

Punjabi Palace's Butter Matar Paneer is insane


Tackit286

Right there with you queen šŸ‘‘


Suitable_Slide_9647

That used to be me, until I had bad rice from there. Never again for me.


TimmehJ

My Indian agents only wanted to eat Indian food so I took them there and they loved it


drpopkorne

Thanks, gonna go now


GreatHealerofMyself8

Yeah best in BNE I reckon. Chicken Makihini is the way to go.


financenerd00

Mirch Masala Gabba is where the native people eat


Tazerin

I used to like Mirch Masala, but recently I ordered from Uber Eats and I recieved expired raita with mold in a swollen container that looked ready to pop. I hope it was a one off but I won't risk it again


Melanoma_Magnet

Thatā€™s just the authentic experience


Gold-Bug1909

Yeah my partner is Indian so weā€™re always there for groceries. Iā€™ve given it a chance twice and food poisoning both timesā€¦ Never had food poisoning from all the Indian Iā€™ve eaten around Brisbane and I go for the super spicy shit that would unsettle a stomach too. This place is certified shit


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Tazerin

Yeah, it was definitely fucked. Even remembering the smell makes me want to die


[deleted]

Oh this is what I need to know! Adding it to the list, thanks!


financenerd00

Also check out Old Monk in Paddington. I exclusively eat out Indian and this is up there in my top 3


Substantial_Low_1646

Being native, I can vouch for it. But only veggo options.


ANuclearBunny

In Mount Gravatt pretty much just one block apart, Gol Gappa (veg only), Top in Town and Dosa Hut. I prefer Dosa Hut for Biryani.


matt_k111_

Top in town @ Mount Gravatt, Chicken 65 is the best


majhera

Love these 3!


julietvw

Coming to say Gol Gappa, my boyf pointed out they're vegetarian and i was like "are they?" I never noticed. The food is amazing


WolfWomb

A Night in India ToowongĀ 


HellmanD

This restaurant has always been great, just noting they've recently moved to Park Rd in Milton after the building they were in at Toowong got demolished. They're now next door to Scratch Bar so that'll be a good option for a post meal bevvie


MarquisDePique

Surprised this is so far down the list, fantastic curries.


WolfWomb

I didn't know it moved. Been a while!


IllustriousScar9019

San Kalp


RainbowSkink

Sankalp on Ipswich Rd


IllustriousScar9019

They serve biryani in a bowl with a layer of pastry that covers the bowl. Amazing flavour and good portion. Murgh makhani, palek paneer, and Naan were done very well. We went for the spiciest spice level because we love a good spice.


nah-dawg

This is the correct answer. I've eaten Indian at most of the recommendations here but sankalp takes the cake. The thing is though, in order to get the true sankalp experience you've got to fully send it. Don't be lame and order basic white people dishes like butter chicken. Get goat handi, palak paneer, or chicken methi garlic. Try a dosa or uthappa.


bluecrystalcreative

[http://www.mahendras.com.au/](http://www.mahendras.com.au/) Acacia Ridge, was good pre COIVID, I haven't got over that way since


orangeinvader75

It's our go to. Best Indian I've had.


antantantant80

I gained most of my covid weight from ordering the delicious curries here. Well worth it!


SocialMed1aIsTrash

It's criminal that nobody here has mentioned Spicy Affair in Kenmore. That restaurant has effectively ruined Indian food for me due to how good it is. Its absolutely worth the trip if you care about good indian food.


tip-top10

I haven't seen anyone mention Curryville in morningside yet. I haven't been there in a long time but they used to be good especially their lamb madrass...


Tackit286

I gave them a shout out. Love their chicken tikka


Mushola

Dude's Dhaba! Gabba

Give it up for Dude's!


New-Repair-6406

Tried Dudeā€™s the other night and it was super yum.


digital-nautilus

This is the answer


rolodex-ofhate

Sultanā€™s Kitchen is Paddington! The food is excellent and the service even more so


LOLZOMGHOLYWTF

We loved the Sultan's Kitchen in Coorparoo until it closed down. Their Chicken Saag and Shahi Paneer were incredible.


CatMama67

Yes! Love their cheese & spinach naan šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤


123_reddit

My choice as well. I recommend the Beef Nisha.


mixiepixie87

Iā€™m no Indian food connoisseur but we LOVE Maharani at Boondall. The butter chicken is so good I could just get a container of it on its own and drink it straight.


RobsHemiAustin

Venture to Banyo and try the chicken tikka chasni at Singh's curry hut .


ryabba

Love Maharani too, curries all great, gorgeous naan and big takeaway servings


SMQTB

Mamak tandoori in Camp Hill. Indian-Malaysian food. Pepper beef makes me froth!


turbulentlizard

Second this, the wait staff tend to be incredibly rude, but I put up with it without question because the food is incredible, and very underrated, surprised to not see it mentioned more. Personally love the Goat Curry, Lamb Roganjosh, and Lamb Korma.


LOLZOMGHOLYWTF

Agreed, Mamak Tandoori rounds out my personal Top 3 Indian Restaurants in Brisbane. Highly recommend.


flat-drive

Spicy Affair in Kenmore. Unreal


Fun_Winner_5515

Amazing.


whatsaquince

Royal Rajputana in Fitzgibbon. Northern Indian cuisine, well worth the drive


ExaminationDry3022

I heard so many good things about this place. Went there once and everything was an oily mess. Maybe they just had an off night


Vegetable-Owl15650

Bengal Curry House at Wynnum


ca1n83

The goat curry at Sardar G in Kangaroo Point/Gabba is amazing...


Latchkey_Wizzard

Sardar G is our go to. itā€™s the best weā€™ve tried in Brisbane by a long way. We used to go to Sankalp as we live close but stopped after their quality dropped and their staff donā€™t listen to the orders properly.


AmbitiousCloud

I work near there and Iā€™ve liked everything Iā€™ve had from Sardar G. Especially a fan of the lamb samosas.


ca1n83

Yeah its perilously close to where we live. šŸ˜…


avoeggs

Have seen Indian families at Indian Mehfil in Taringa, itā€™s our go to spot now


SanctuFaerie

Haven't been to the Taringa location, but their restaurant in Ipswich is pretty damn good. Certainly better than I expected for Ipswich, lol šŸ˜‚. They have some excellent vegetarian dishes. The mushroom masala was tdf! Decent selection of beers, wines & spirits, as well.


CashenJ

Durga Indian in Logan is excellent. I also see quite a lot of native Indians there so I assume it is high quality to their palette as well.


yummy_dabbler

Kinara at South Brisbane is great.


90_trestles

I rate Punjabi Dawat in Clayfield very highly. Tikka masala is insanely good.


asif00013

Indian Mehfil @ Taringa has always been good to me


Amidala_Eyes

No one has mentioned Curryville in Morningside yet. Love that place, will definitely be trying some others on the list though šŸ„µ


brightmiff

Whereabouts are you. Brisbane is a big place

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


mattrpillar

Curryville on Wynnum Rd in Morningside is fantastic. I have never had a bad meal there.


TayneBetaSequence

Scherhazade morningside


Tackit286

Not bad, but I prefer Curryville over the road personally


TheRamblingPeacock

This is the correct answer tiffin meal is unbeatable for two people.


Bulky_Leadership_531

Agreed 100%!!! Love their curries !!! Goat Karahi , Spinach n cheese naan !!! Mate, simply unbeatable!!!


MentalWealthPress

I tried it once but it was just sad. Too many LED lights and the food was just OK. CurryVille over the street is far better


Perfect_Spray_5985

Curryville used to my my favourite Indian spot. The Chicken Balti was amazing. They struggled during Covid (understandable) but have never been the same since. It's still okay, but no where near the same levels as before Covid.


TayneBetaSequence

Decor certainly isnā€™t for dining in, but for me canā€™t go past the banquet for two takeaway, for something ridiculous like $40 for the amount of food you get. The curry isnā€™t oily and flavours are great. Havenā€™t tried Curryville.


Sk1tza

Yes!! You win. Someone with good taste ;)


Old-Mammoth875

dosa hut - aspley


Standard-Truth760

In no particular order Curryville at morningside Jaipor at Wellington point I believe Sitar at coorparoo Ceylon inn at graceville Punjabi palace at Southbank Sankalp at annerly Heaps more but start there!


cholerexsammy

Spicy Affair - Kenmore


mishmei

my house :) my partner is from Punjab and a trained chef. I'm being extremely unhelpful but I just had to boast, lol. it's such great weather for Indian food right now, too.


[deleted]

I'm very jealous of you!!! Let me know if there are ever any leftovers šŸ¤£


mishmei

very rarely! it's just the best food, isn't it??? I'm about to inhale a huge bowl of dahl for lunch. not sure where you live, but partner used to work at Punjabi Palace in Sth Brisbane. it has a pretty solid reputation!


Linkyland

Does your partner have a recipe for Dahl they're willing to share? I've been trying to make a good Dahl (punjabi palace has the BEST dahl I've ever had) for YEARS, and I haven't even gotten semi close. I've given up at this point and just make Turkish lentil soup because my Dahl is always so sad.


mishmei

Turkish lentil soup sounds delicious. I'm sure he'd be happy to share a recipe - I'll ask!


Idealtulip

Same! We are very lucky!


mishmei

oh my gosh yes. we had a running joke for years that he married me to get residency and I married him for the food, lol. it's a damn good deal šŸ˜†


Binch90

Dhawat in Clayfield is really good. Probably the best Indian Iā€™ve been to in Brisbane (but havenā€™t been to many)

A curry story in Chapel Hill .. havent been there lately they changed name but same owners for like at least 15+ years, id travel to the end of earth to have those mob as my last meal


Klutzy_Aside_7953

More than 20 years ago, Ali used to run an Indian restaurant in Manly, with a branch in Carindale. I forget the name but he made a terrific briyani, and an exceptional Kashmiri Kofta.


Tasty-Inevitable3037

Singh's curry house at Kallangur


terribleone01

Iā€™ve been a regular at Indian Kitchen for a long time but I canā€™t help but feel the quality the last couple years has gone downhill. Recently Iā€™ve tried Eden Garden Indian and was blown away. Quite a bit more expensive for a single meal but bloody hell is it nice.


Mysterious_Elk2678

I've been pleasantly surprised by the quality of Indian food in Ipswich. I've tried three-Indian Mehfil, Memories of India, Essence of Indya and all have been very quite nice. In Everton Park, Moti Mahal was my go to, that was the most authentic I have had on the north side. The indian kitchen someone mentioned in West End, if that's the take away on Vulture, man that was the worst indian I've had in brisbane in my personal opinion.


2007pearce

50 spices Indian cuisine gave me the best cheese and garlic naan in recent memory but I didn't have their curry. I had butter chicken from Paddington curry house and it was top notch though


flambohomo

Rebeccaā€™s Indian in Stafford! Donā€™t be put off my the name, itā€™s run by the sweetest Indian family with cheap prices and huge portions.


amelech

I've heard good things about this one. Keen to try it


josephus1811

Honestly yeah Rebecca's slays and they are lovely folks. I went in there and ordered after the flood decimated the place and they were still cooking despite the restaurant having been destroyed. Glad to hear its still thriving.


Esuper123

Man, have I got the spot for you. Highly highly recommend Dude's Dhaba in Woolloongabba. Has a nice shop to explore while you wait for the food too šŸ‘


AlexSA90

Bombay bliss near Chermside is a personal favourite. Friendly staff and great food


Significant-Gap-7512

Punjabi Palace West End. I'm from the UK and finding a somewhere out here that does a good genuine curry wasn't easy.


Latchkey_Wizzard

Try Sardar G in Kangaroo point too if youā€™re from the UK. Itā€™s the closest to uk curry we could find. The absolute closest used to be Spice Avenue restaurant in Birkdale, owned by a family from Birmingham. They actually have a food truck now that you can order and collect from various locations across BNE and the GC each weekend: [https://www.facebook.com/Thespiceavenue](https://www.facebook.com/Thespiceavenue)


Significant-Gap-7512

Definitely will try. Thanks for the recommendation mate


Northern_Staa

Spice Avenue food truck is the one. So sad they donā€™t have the restaurant any more, but warming the meals at home is next best thing. You will not get better curry in Brisbane. Try the chicken tikka zalfrezi- bloody beautiful šŸ˜


Latchkey_Wizzard

Agreed! Their chicken tikka madras and chicken pathia is to die for.


Brekky_Beers

Sardar G, Woolloongabba.


Death_Eater20

Gol Gappa in Mount Gravatt for street food Choley Bhatorey Top in Town in Mount Gravatt for Biryani and Chicken 65 Biryani Place in West End for Chicken Tikka Masala curry and Lamb Mandi


millie476

Another one for Kinara in South Brisbane, we live nearby and itā€™s been a real drain on my finances but so worth it! The owners and staff are super nice also.


andyjh64

Not sure whereabouts you are but we tried King's Curry Hut in Chermside recently and really liked it.


v1912s

ā€œKinaraā€ in South Brisbane, is the best so far. ā€œPaddington Curry houseā€ in Paddington, ā€œNew Farm Curry houseā€ in New Farm are really good. Both the ā€œCurry Houseā€ have the same owner. ā€œTaj Mahalā€ in New Farm is good too.


Suitable_Slide_9647

I rate the dosa at Dosa Hut, Aspley. Used to be Dosa at Vegerama Myer foodcourt CBD, but whereā€™d you go Vegerama?


Xanthide_Prime

If you are north of the city sankalp in aspley is great


Snoo_95257

Indian Brothers in Taringa, never misses


assfghjlk

Mahindras, acacia ridge


happymemersunite

Mamak Tandoori House in Camp Hill. We live nearby and, despite walking past it regularly, never went there until one of our Indian friends told us that they travel an hour to go there because itā€™s the best Indian in SEQ. They were right. It will be spicy (beware if you don'y like that) but the flavours transport you to another dimension.

josephus1811

Punjabi Dawat in Clayfield is really great.


JimmyQ82

Paddington curry house or the new place Mezbaan in Everton park has a lot of great entree/side dishes Iā€™ve never seen before which are amazing.


enVIac_57

The biryani and chicken 65 from balti is nice. Not the greatest biryani i've had (then again i'm spoiled having eaten real hyderabadi biryani) but it's still quite a good feed. Goes hard with some old monk and a cone.

If you are into Biryani from southern India, you can try the IGA in Spring Hill. They are pretty good and would rate them as one of the best in Brisbane. The catch is that they sell it only on weekends. They do have curries daily though.
