Dhamaka Indian Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Greater Brisbane

We had the lamb saag and the meat was completely inedible, I don’t think I’ve had a worse cut of meat presented in a meal- it was honestly that bad I couldn’t even cut it with a knife. The flavour was there for sure so it was extremely disappointing especially when we mentioned after being asked how the meal was whilst paying and the response was just a simple “oh really” 🤷🏻‍♂️ The malai kofta was pretty good 3 1/2 🌟 and the whole chicken tandoor 6 out 5 🌟 was absolutely amazing. The pricing is not fantastic for some dishes and reasonable for others so it’s a bit hit and miss all round. I would definitely go back for the chicken tandoor but will never buy or recommend a lamb dish which is sad as lamb Rogan Josh is a favourite of ours. Will be interesting to try a beef dish next time. The other thing worth noting is there heat levels are genuine- a medium is definitely medium and not mild like most, if you order hot I would suggest you be prepared for genuine heat. Lots of potential but quality of meat is my biggest concern and service could be...

We called ahead to order goat curry, expecting a smooth pickup process. But the moment we reached the place, they told us bluntly, “If you want to order, pay over the phone next time.” No courtesy, no customer service – just attitude. Why not mention that policy before we drove all the way there?

We reluctantly paid, hoping the food would at least be worth it. What a disappointment. The goat curry was ridiculously spicy – not flavorful, just burn-your-mouth, can’t-even-eat-it hot. It was completely inedible for everyone, and we ended up throwing it away. Total waste of money and time.

They clearly don’t care about regular customers or quality. If you value your time, money, and taste buds, go elsewhere. This was one of the worst food experiences...

We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. We had to wait an unusually long time for our food, even though the place wasn’t particularly busy at the time we arrived at this place. After multiple follow ups for the food, we confronted the owner and explained our situation. Unfortunately, his response and attitude both were very disappointing, which made the situation even more frustrating. We witnessed many food parcels going out while we were still waiting for our food. Seemed as if they focus more on deliveries rather than the dine in customers. the Customer service is just as important as the food itself, and unfortunately, both fell short during our visit. I hope they seriously consider improving their service and attitude...
