Nilima Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Queensland

28/12/2023 - We decided to go to this restaurant near our Motel, we checked online menu decided our order and went there, and My disappointments are here

1. Waitress gave us menu and I told we are ready to order when you’re ready, waitress went inside and started wiping Dishes and we kept waiting till someone noticed 10 minutes later and came to take order.

2. Mixed pakora didn’t have any salt in it.

3. Our Paneer Kadai curry was more like paneer butter masala, sweet and orangy (check photo) color instead of brown gravy. I can count 2 capcicum in it, 10gm sauce and 100 paneer. Not at all authentic, cant say it was indian curry.

4. We ordered 1 paratha, while serving paratha, waitress told us any other order will take 20-25 minutes. I asked, “even for paratha?” She replied “Yes because chef is busy preparing others food”. I have visited busier restaurants than that and it never takes 20 minutes for paratha. This restaurant only had few tables, it shouldn’t have taken 20-25 minutes for 1 bloody paratha. I have worked in restaurants and running orders takes priority specially things like paratha and Rice. Don’t bloody say chef is busy to make others food. I am customer,too and paying money.

We were on holiday and didn’t want to spoil mood arguing with them but they definitely spoiled my mood by worst food and service.

Please don’t call this indian Food. Also have some courtesy to ask for feedback and take it, you need it.

BIG NO NO from me. NEVER...

We visited this reseturant on Saturday lunch time. First impressions were not good. The table we were seated at had a dirty food stained table cloth. We were move to another table which also had food stains all over it. Looking at the floor, it appeared it hadn't been swept in a long time with dust and food crumbs around. The windows seperating the indor/outdoor space were also dirty. We ordered from the menu and although the food came in a timely manner, it was not as tasty ad I expected. I ordered the prawn vindaloo and the prawns were very good but the curry itself lacked punch. The garlic naan bread was very basic with naan bread just sprinkled with crushed garlic. There was no atmosphere here and at the end of the meal one of the staff kindly allowed us to listen in on a video call which was very noisy be and annoying. We were were the only customers here so they were not stressed nor busy. This resturant needs a lot more attention to detail and to be more welcoming in...

It was close to our hotel, long day, long drive easy walk. Sadly this place dished up possibly the worse indian food that I can remember. The chicken tikka tasted reheated, chewey, & actually lacked flavour as did the lamb. For Indian food to lack taste to this level has to actually be quite hard to do! As for the curries they tasted like home brand jar sauces, I say this because only a jar marsala sauce could taste so bad No one could eat it. Even the rice was dry & frankly nothing but another unfunny indian food joke. I guess they do well out of one off tourist visitors because I can't imagine many locals wanting to repeat the experience, unless of course they have never tried good indian food. The food reminds me of home cooks who have sadly been convinced that their cooking is at...
