Mahendra's Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Ok, I am officially obsessed with this place. I have been here three days in a row. I am planning to eat there once a week from now on for a year. The money you save on a plane flight to India and accommodation for a week you can spend eating here every week for a year. Why? Fellow Australians, you have to grow out of 'The Aussie Special' - butter chicken and a garlic naan from the food court! 😂 Here you can take yourself through an entire menu of authentic entrees, street food, not to mention curries. With proper spices. At reasonable prices. Without leaving the country! And never pass over the dessert - gulab jamum. It's in the fridge. Take it home with you, put it in the microwave and serve with double cream or ice cream. I throw down the gauntlet to anyone else to do this.

They're open til 10pm every night (on weekends they only open at night). You can do everything you've got to do, get there at 9.30pm and order whatever you want!

Edit - Just went today and my spirits were lifted with the amazing food! I did the lunch deal. There's nothing in a hot box, everything is cooked on the stove with authentic spices, naan bread stretched and cooked before my very eyes. I feel like I'm in India here.

Original review, like a year ago - It's yum, I love their butter chicken. Watch out for their mint sauce - it packs a punch! So do their...

Food first of all is DELICIUOS but service leaves a foul taste in your mouth.

I brought the following last night. (prices off their current menu)

1x butter chicken $13.50 1x chicken tikka $13.50 1x lamb madras $13.99 1x beef vindaloo $13.99 1x beef garam masala $13.99 2x large rice $8 6x garlic nanns $21 2x pappadoms $4 1x samosas (never delivered) 1x delivery $5 Total $111.97

Food gets delivered on time and delivery man states total is $115. I said its $111.97 and here is $112 cash. We have this argument for afew minutes and he rings his boss and we have the same conversation.

He hangs up from his boss and proceeds to leave with HALF my order saying total is $115. I followed him and got the rest of my food off him and asked for a receipt. Was told "no receipt $115 cash".

I went inside and started unpacking the order and my phones rings. I ignore it as I am checking the bag for the samosas they forgot. I check the voicemail and its the delivery man yelling down the phone in indian.

Im annoyed so call their restaurant and give them a mouth full since not only did they try and steal what i paid for, and paid for extra food i didn't receive they like to round up to the nearest $5, dont do receipts and leave abusive voicemails.

Again food was DELICIOUS and delivered on time. After...

Me and my friend we had walked in and ordered an Indian Masala Tea . We had watched multiple curries be made and dished into takeaway containers, 30 minutes had gone by me and my friend we watched the chef bring a big pan of curry out to be dished, we asked the team how much longer it would be and they with the unfriendly smile said it was coming now,

I completely understand making a big batch but you guys made us wait 30 minutes for 2 cups of TEA ( Takeaway). Staff aren't that super friendly. Restaurant itself is quite hot, no one was eating in and I can understand why.

It was more of like literally visiting India and Getting to visit street nearby road restaurant.

Sorry for being too honest here

Thank you so...
