Eden Garden Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Where do I start? Moving from Melbourne where Indian food is both cheap and tasty, I had given up hopes after eating at 6 top rated restaurants in all corners of Brisbane. Food is no where near Indian food. Someone was even selling British Indian?? For heavens sake, India is celebrating 70th year of independence this year and Brisbane is still having a British Indian restaurant. Anyways strolling around at west end I was greeted kindly by a lovely girl inviting to try the food. The simplicity and different look of the restaurant got me attracted. Never seen someone having cricket as the restaurant theme.

I got seated and ordered a cocktail named late cut. You got to believe me when I say that this was a cocktail with top notch flavours. And all authentic Indian flavours in it.

I got comfortable and then ordered butter chicken on bone and butter naan. This was the kind of food I was looking for and that's what I call as restaurant quality Indian. The heat which I ordered was just perfect.

There menu is huge and I will keep coming. Great service too. Keep up the good work guys. You have a repeat...

We were so excited to taste Amritsari Kulcha’s. So we asked our friends to join us. We ordered 4 Kulchas, 2 were delivered in average time but other two were delivered 15 minutes apart. I think its not fair that two persons were eating and the others two were looking at their faces. It should have been served together. Kulcha's itself tasted like Potato paranthas. It supposed to be crunchy. The most annoying thing , On their menu it clearly shows in the picture that it comes with pickle but we didn’t receive any. When we asked nicely to the staff to bring us pickle. We received small serve of pickle and when we paid our bill and checked our receipt after coming home, we found out that we got charged $5 for a tiny portion of pickle? Isn’t it ridiculous! We can get a full bottle of pickle in almost same price. I believe we should have been informed about the extra charges for the pickle when we ordered it and according to the menu it should have come with the deal. It’s not matter of money but about principles. It’s false...

I think I may have had too much of a high standard coming in to Eden Garden Indian.

The reviews are all great and colourful in writing.

Myself and my partner had a early evening dinner after work and had the Butter Chicken in Australian Mild and myself the Goat curry in Indian medium.

The Butter chicken good. Not the best, nothing to write home about or to come back for. Was more sweet than medium spicy. I would try the Butter chicken again, though, to go Indian spicy, not Australian.

The Goat curry was priced at a premium. The flavour was good, again, nothing to write home too. The amount of meat was well below what you expect as most of the weight is actually in the bone itself it is served up as. I would not recommend or try again.

Service wise was very good. Wait staff were friendly and prompt.

The venue itself has a lovely post it note wall with all the admirations of past customers which is a great site. However, I would not be inclined to leave such admirations with my personal take on the...
