mamak tandoori house

finger-licking. yes indeed this certainly is one of brisbane's finest indian restaurants. we got a couple of the dishes, one being the butter chicken....omg! amazing tender yet so scrumptious in flavour. soooo, i kinda had 2 serves, with the feta and spinach naan, yes i know, stop it. amazing! i'll be ordering take-away again for sure. thumbs up people :)

this is the best indian restaurant that i ever had since i was in australia.the food was really authentic and it taste really delicious!!and the service was excellent by a young waiter and i would rate them 9/10.i will be a permanent customer here!!

love love love. this is the only place i'll ever go for butter chicken! absolutely delicious every time i get it. also everyone working there is so sweet and the service is amazing. 5 stars!

nice indian dinner. our fave indian resto has closed down so we're looking for the new indian resto for us to visit regularly. we went there last week and we like it. chicken tikka massala was delicious. the only thing we don't quite like when they cut the onion pieces it was too big. cheese spinach naan was yummy too. one curry is more than enough to feed both of us plus rice and naan bread to share. the service was pretty efficienta and polite. we'll come back and try different curry!

amazing food!!

we made an impulse decision and a last minute booking on friday night for dinner and we were so pleased that we did!

we finally tried the crab curry at mamak tandoori house and it was terrific - the flavours were sensational! it was incredibly messy to eat - but fun! the fried okra was delicious too!

outstanding!!  sensational!!
as lovers of spicy indian and malaysian food, we came here expecting to be disappointed. we ordered a mysore masala dosa (basically a traditional masala dosa smeared with a extra chilli tomato paste) and a lamb roti murtabak which came with a bowl of fragrant lamb & chicken coconut curry. the food was sensational!! the flavours were authentic and everything tasted like it had been freshly made from scratch (instead of the usual commercial curry paste/sauces). the dosa and the murtabak was as good as or probably even better than anything we've eaten in india or malaysia!! we'll definitely be back to try some things!

be warned though - with food this good, this small restaurant is very popular. you really need to make a booking and be prepared to wait!!

we came here on a saturday for lunch and were blown away by how great the food was! my husband had a roti canai (the portion was sizeable) and i had a masala dosa and it was delicious! the best dosa i’ve had for ages! it was massive too which i couldn’t finish and my husband happily helped. the dosa came with three yummy sauces - would highly recommend the dosa!! the roti was good too!

it came highly recommended, and fully lived up to expectations. mamak tandoori house in camp hill delivers the goods when it comes to indian malaysian cuisine. the only people i wouldn't recommend it to are those who can't take heat/spice.

we had the opportunity to visit with some malaysian friends and ordered:
* fish malabar, $20 - mackerel fish food cooked in south india style with coconut milk
* ayam masak merah, $17.50 - chicken cooked with tomato, onion, fresh chilli, lemongrass sauce with almond and coconut cream
* hyderabadi biryani, $18.50 - tender lamb marinated overnight with biryani spices and cooked with basmati rice in a clay pot hyderabadi style
* fried okra, $15.95 - stir-fry okra with turmeric, onion and red chilli
* cheese & garlic naans, $5
* cheese & spinach naan, $5
* plain naan, $3.50
* basmati rice, $3

total bill $93.45 for 4 adults and 1 child, which was pretty decent given we ended up having a fair bit of food and all of it was quite moreish. we picked dishes based on recommendations from people in the malaysians in brisbane fb group, so i think we were pretty well guaranteed of a good time. i would totally order any of these dishes again, but particularly enjoyed the curries and the fried okra. i grew up eating okra cooked a certain way, and have never had it this way. it was eye-openingly good!

will definitely have to return again, hopefully next time on a weekend so i can avail myself of their roti canai and murtabak, which were also highly recommended items.

be aware that mamak's spicy dishes only come in medium or hot, so if you're someone who can't take heat like my son, you might end up mostly only eating naan and rice. so i'll have to find some other company next time to explore more of their range.

lovely people and very accommodating. not the most comfortable ambience for dining in during winter, so i would recommend getting takeaway instead, but seriously, the best and most authentic malaysian indian food in brisbane. must try!

this malaysian indian eatery is impressive when one sees the constant crowds dining here. seating myself as the lone waiter is run off his feet, i see that every diner here is indian. say no more!

i ask for the roti canai with curry chicken. this piping hot roti is fabulous, crispy outside and soft chewy inside. the chicken curry is fragrant with a multitude of spices and i recognise the familiar taste of baba curry powder. i rate this meal a 5!

authentic delicious malaysian indian food and prices are reasonable. however, the tiny dining area is tight, there is no air conditioning despite the summer heat and the complimentary water is warm. if one can look past these negatives, bon appetit!

easily the best indian in brisbane. good balance of north and south indin curries with malaysian specialities. great value and amazing taste. my weekly curry choice.

this place doesn’t look fancy from the street but looks can be deceiving. i prefer the food here over brick lane in london or little india in singapore. it’s amazing. the chilli crab on weekends is delicious.

have been going to this restaurant already for a few years. consistent quality, great service and always very affordable. decoration and the place are very simple, however food-wise, this is probably the best indian restaurant in all queensland.

regardless its lack of vibrant atmosphere and fancy decor, our dining experience at mamak tandoori house was wicked. the service wasn’t top but good enough.

eggplant pakoda, that we rarely found on a menu in indian restaurants, were served nice and hot with eggplant soft inside and crisp batter. the accompanied yoghurt based mint and coriander sauce was divine.

goat pepper masala blew us away. it was a perfectly tender, juicy and flavourful curry.

the chicken sambal had a complex flavour that was all at once earthy, spicy and hot. pretty sure mamak made its own sambal paste that was the tastiest one we had every had.

mamak had definitely beaten curry ville in morningside where it used to our best indian.

mostly indian food on offer but the mango chicken was quite good as was the lamb sukka. would have given a 5 if the roti was better but i quite liked the naan. lassi was delicious.

went here with a friend for dinner on her recommendation. the atmosphere and service is not that great, but the food more than makes up for it. shared a couple dishes and had to compromise on the spice levels and had everything at a mild/medium. the flavours and spices in the curries are just awesome.
