I love Indian food. We had ordered delivery previously having never been in-person. For our 3rd anniversary my boyfriend reserved a table for us at the restaurant. It was simply amazing and I was wowed by the display outside with the red carpet and velvet hook (you probably know wha I’m talking about). The staff gave us a complimentary drink and even went out of the way to put small red heart confetti on the table, I loved it. The staff was very friendly and very charming making us feel very comfortable, personally I don’t think I’ve had such amazing service. The interior was very nice with the bar lit by a blue LED light. There was a rectangular fish tank with gold fish inside doing their own little thing. The starter platter that we ordered was beautiful and paired perfectly with (I believe mint) sauce. We ordered food which came out just amazing. We were asked if we needed time in-between the starter and the main, I thought this was very sweet and believe all restaurants should do this. My boyfriend ordered a glass of moscato for me—it was one of the best wines I have ever had the complimentary drink was just as high in quality. We will definitely be coming back and we both highly recommend this amazing restaurant 🤍

Visited based on good reviews and was a bit disappointed to be honest. Environment is really good, feels welcoming and really nice. Staff is just 10/10, friendly and helpful, never been better attended before. Now when it comes to the food... we were not very impressed at all! Felt like everything needed a bit more salt, more taste or something. We had two of the specialty curries and neither were tasty, their naan , same thing nearly tasteless , samosa : same story... really wanna believe they were in a bad busy day, considering it was a Friday (not super busy but with some movement) and besides all that , the food took nearly one hour to arrive. Considering all the reviews I hope we visited the wrong night. Overall, beautiful service, nice environment, great potential, but a bit slow, food doesn’t deliver the expectations and a bit on the pricy side (considering what we got in terms of the actual food).

Very impressed! Went with friends for a bite to eat at one of their favourite restaurants…very glad I did! We were greeted at the door and taken to our table. With menus in hand, the friendly staff soon had our order underway and brought to our table. Serving sizes were generous, well priced and the food was excellent. My Butter Chicken was delicious and probably one of the best I’ve had in my travels. Cozy, comfortable indoor seating with attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere. Plenty of outdoor seating with blankets and heaters for chilly nights. Conveniently located in a strip mall with plenty of parking and onsite washrooms. The owner circulated, chatting with patrons and making sure everyone was happy. Dine in for Lunch or Dinner; takeout available. All credit cards accepted. Will definitely return.

We are From Brisbane city and decided to go for a cruise around the Gold Coast. At 8.00pm we know everything is almost closed so we jump on Google and found this indian gem still open til 9.30pm. Got there and was greeted by 2 lovely young male who got us seated nicely and gave us some recommendation. (Wr were the last customers for the sunday night) We ordered butter chicken, tandoori chicken, malai kofta , garlic naan and coconut rice. The curry was rich full of flavours and aroma, it is amazing and cooked with love. The presentation and atmosphere is relaxing and clean. The review is well deserved for this local business and we will be back in a few weeks for our holidays up this way.

Absolutely worst Indian I’ve ever had except for the naan Watery Rice was soggy not fluffy and just over cooked with to much water in it, if you can’t cook rice properly than God help the rest of the cuisine Butter chicken was runny purée lacking texture and oil was splitting from sauce resulting in a bed of oil on top Pallak paneer was dam right vomit material 🤮 no seasoning, texture or flavor it was literally like puréed frozen spinich leaves with water Will not ever be going near this place and struggling to find any good Indian around coombabah area

Best indian food on the Gold Coast so far. We have had takeaway from the Indian Empire several times. Great taste and quality. Highly recommend. 1st time dining in this evening. The owner was very helpful guiding us through dishes without onion. Butter chicken was smokey and delicious. The lamb korma taste was great, but a little grissly meat. The bread basket was huge and very tasty. So many dishes I would recommend. Combination vege and meat entrees were great. Will be back for sure. Thank you for your excellent service.
