What a great little place Shanti's is. They serve traditional Indian/ Sri Lankan dishes and the…read morefood here is amazing. The 'Butter Chicken' is done a little bit differently at this restaurant as it comes with a dollop of sour cream swirled atop the curry. Not only did it taste fantastic it looked extremely appetizing. The owner Shanti and her husband run and manage the restaurant and work on the floor waiting on customers and serving. They make a really good team as they are attentive to when customers are ready to order and they serve out the dishes quickly. The staff here dress extremely casual, which would be fine for lunch orders, however, I think for dinner they should wear a type of uniform to create a more professional appeal- Even if it was an all-black uniform. The table settings are simple here. For a small family run restaurant like this, it's not necessary for the lavish cutlery and plates. The ambience is nice, there is traditional Indo-Lankan music playing softly in the background, however, I find the menu boards on the walls are comparable to a local fish and chip shop. It doesn't work quite as effectively for this Indo-Lankan restaurant. A lovely place to dine for casual lunch or dinner, however, if you plan to dine alfresco, please note your view will be of a parking lot. I love going to this place for take-away but occasionally after shopping next door at Woolies, I come here for lunch.

I was curious how Shanti would fare under new management. Happily I've found the vegetarian dishes…read moreto be consistently of very high standard. Beautiful flavours. I particularly love the kadai paneer, malai kofta and spinach and cheese naan.

Went to Hari's for dinner and I was served entrees that were frozen in the middle, told the waiter…read moreand asked not to have more. 10 minutes later they bought out our mains and more entrees. Mains was okay but not great. Ended up paying for the full meal and no apologises. Used to go here all the time before it changes hands, not anymore which is sad because it was so good before. I would probably go here again if nothing else was opened but the experience ruined it for me.

Best Indian on the coast hands down. My girlfriend lives nearby and we on occasion treat ourselves…read moreto Taj Indian. We are big Indian food fans and have tried Indian across the world but I think Taj would be one of the best I have eaten. It is consistently tasty and is reasonably priced. The service is good, professional, and prompt. I usually get the chicken tikka masala with rice and an aloo naan and onion pakoras. Sooooo good!

I recently had a short time to grab a takeway meal during a busy evening and spied La Kandy Sri…read moreLankan restaurant. There it was, in the corner of a small shopping centre, itself on the corner of Wynnum Road and Bognor Street, which I've visited heaps of times, yet I hadn't noticed La Kandy before. Apparently it's been there for months and the food seems really good. I ordered the Beef Madras, which is almost Sri Lankan, but as the nice gentleman explained when we were discussing the menu, the predominantly Sri Lankan fare is joined by some Thai, Indian and Malaysian dishes too. Anyway I was impressed not only by the quick service and friendly dudes, but also OMG by the huge array of traditional Sri Lankan dishes lining one entire wall of the place. Yes, I'd stumbled in on a Friday night, when the all you can eat Hopper buffet was in full swing ($19.95 - on Saturday night too). It looked and smelled so good. I'd paid for my $14.50 takeaway curry at this stage and had to run, but I'm definitely going back to sample some of those dishes with the wonderful aromas and right price.

We grabbed the Takeaway Special for two people. The…read morecontainers are one size (small). The butter chicken was dry. The lamb Rogan josh was dry too. Naan bread was oily. The entree (don't even know what it was) was simply yucky. Some sorta deep fried onion thingy. Very disappointed and wouldn't recommend.
