Curry Story Indian restaurant — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Update: Thanks for the response, but as a chef with 30 years’ experience, I’d expect better quality control. The rice was overcooked and mushy, and the palak paneer didn’t remotely match its description—felt like false advertising. This wasn’t just an opinion; it was a real issue with the basics. Thanks for your attempt.

Ordered on Uber Eats and, well, let’s just say this meal was memorable… in the worst possible way.

The rice? An overcooked, waterlogged mush. I took one bite, threw it out, and cooked my own. Yep, I paid for the privilege of making my own rice. I have never thrown out food I ordered. Even if I didn't like it I'd eat it anyway. But this couldn't be saved.

Now, the palak paneer. I mean, how do you mess up palak paneer? It’s spinach and cheese, pretty basic. Well, they somehow decided to reinvent it as “Tomato Mystery Soup with a Hint of Spinach.” I found two whole tomato chunks in there, along with what tasted like canned tomato sauce. They even had the nerve to call it palak paneer on the receipt and use a stock image of a real palak paneer on their website no mention of tomato either. So apparently, truth in advertising doesn’t apply here. It doesn't even pass as some tomato based curry. Would it have killed them to mention this Frankenstein version on the menu?

Then there was the naan, or should I say, the microwaved wrap impersonating naan. Not fooling anyone, guys.

It’s like the entire meal was made by someone who’s never seen a kitchen before, my guess a white 12 year old who has only eaten bland toast their whole life. I get it, we all start somewhere, but for $40? I’m expecting at least a passing attempt at edible food. I’d even offer to come in and teach them the basics if they’re that lost.

It's almost impressive how badly they messed this up, especially since I'm about as far from Indian as it gets. But after ordering palak paneer with rice and naan a million times from almost every indian restaurant, I think I know what it's supposed to taste like. Or maybe this is a sign that the dream of take out is over.

At least they didn’t mess up the mango lassi, which is just mango and yogurt. Small...

I've just read Sophie's one star review and I feel compelled to write a rebuttal, as it is so contradictory to anything that I have ever experienced here. I have lived in Chapel Hill for over ten years and regularly order take-aways from this restaurant. I am from the UK and love Indian food and have eaten at literally hundreds of different Indian restaurants over the decades, in over a dozen different countries. The food at Curry Story is right up there with the best that I have tasted. Sophie's review is so inconsistent with most other people's experience that it is literally nonsensical and makes me wonder whether this is the work of a bitter competitor perhaps. This is the problem with the Internet, where people can write whatever they want and there is little recourse for...

We got some take-away from Curry Story last night and it was excellent. The prices were competitive, the 3 curries were tasty and the samosas tasted like the pastry was actually hand made while the garlic naan was very nice too. It was especially nice that the taste of the curries didn't all meld into one generic taste, despite all being mildly spiced (the younger members of our family don't yet appreciate chillies). My only issue is that I couldn't really taste the tamarind in our Goan Chicken dish - the coconut was the dominant flavour. Our order was ready in about 15 minutes but I suspect that was because we may have been the first customers for the night. The people serving were polite & friendly. The premises looked spotlessly clean.

I would recommend Curry...
