Spice Garden Restaurant — Restaurant in Kingaroy

The only way to improve this place would be to close it down. This is the worst Indian food I’ve ever had. I drove from Ellesmere for this crud, a 40 minute round trip. On my way home I drove past McDonalds and I saw the drive through was full. Now I understand why, if the “Indian” I got tonight is in any way indicative of the quality of food from restaurants in Kingaroy. I got the $40 couples pack consisting of one meat samosa, one sheekh kebab, one butter chicken, one beef madras, garlic naan and a raita. My wife and I started with the samosa and kebab and we were pretty disappointed as the reviews for this restaurant would have you believe the food is great. The next thing we tried was the butter chicken (if you can call it that). It was a watery tasteless concoction that didn’t inspire me to go further than two mouthfuls. I had to have a second mouthful just to make sure I hadn’t put a spoonful of dishwater into my mouth by mistake with the first serve. My wife said we should at least try the madras as she believed it couldn’t possibly be as bad as the three dishes we had already tried. She was wrong. This was the highlight (or should I say the lowlight) of this mess that was passed off as a meal. The best part of the whole thing was the rice and even that was average. At least the naan came in useful. We used it to clean the bench top after the watery slop dribbled off the spoon. As I write this, I’m thinking about turfing the whole lot out the window but I don’t want a passing kangaroo to eat it by mistake and then get done by the RSPCA for animal cruelty. If you have the dreaded COVID and you’ve lost your sense of smell and taste, I guess all you’ve got to lose by going here is your hard earned cash and any sense of self respect you have for your body that may be lingering after your diagnosis. In fact, I remember years ago changing one of our kids nappies and I unknowingly got some poo on my hand. I soon turned unknowingly into knowingly when I wiped my mouth with my hand and tasted something that I’ve never forgotten in twenty odd years. Tonight I tasted something surprisingly similar. If you’ve got poor to average tastebuds, you won’t be disappointed if...

I recently had a lovely dinner with my family at Spice Garden. The food was delicious (5 stars), and the service was excellent (5 stars). The man serving us was very friendly and attentive, ensuring everyone was well taken care of.

However, I did notice some areas that could use improvement. The fabric of the booths appeared very grimy, and the overall atmosphere felt like it could benefit from a fresh coat of paint to brighten up the space. Additionally, the cleanliness of the bathroom and the hallway leading to it was concerning. There were quite a few dead bugs and cockroaches, indicating that these areas hadn't been cleaned in a while.

I would love to return for the fantastic food and service. I just hope the restaurant can address the cleanliness concerns to enhance the overall dining experience, as I wouldnt want to take friends there in its...

Update to whom it may concern

It was Wednesday night. If you need to check the order. Between six and seven. Took 30 minutes to be made. Really.

We thought let's try Indian tonight. Should've had KFC. Ordered Mango Chicken with coconut rice takeaway and Cheesy Naan. Honestly don't know what we got but it tasted nothing like Mango Chicken or Coconut Rice or Naan bread even. As it's been one of our favourites for years at different places you expect a little difference in restaurants but this was next level. We wont give them another go as there are more Indian restaurants around to try before going back to that...
