mamak tandoori house

finger-licking. yes indeed this certainly is one of brisbane's finestindianrestaurants. 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 bestindianrestaurant 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!!

niceindiandinner. our faveindianresto has closed down so we're looking for the newindianresto 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 spicyindianand 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!!

it came highly recommended, and fully lived up to expectations. mamak tandoori house in camp hill delivers the goods when it comes toindianmalaysian 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 malaysianindianfood in brisbane. must try!

this malaysianindianeatery 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 malaysianindianfood 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 bestindianin brisbane. good balance of north and south indin curries with malaysian specialities. great value and amazing taste. my weekly curry choice.

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 bestindianrestaurant 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 inindianrestaurants, 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.

mostlyindianfood 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.

simply the bestindianin brisbane. the food at mamak is very authentic and has excellent flavours. the aroma from mamak is so inviting that you instantly become hungry as soon as you walk in. the tandoori chicken and tikka masala are soo good! all i can say is yum!

just fantastic food !! challenge to find any betterindian/ malaysian food out there in brisbane other than this.
superbly delicious plentiful food.

literally, the bestindianrestaurant in town, or specifically, the best malaysianindianrestaurant in town. historically, in brisbane, it has been rather challenging to find authenticindianfood. i think i can think of only two other places that come close. i believe i've tried almost everything on the menu and nothing will disappoint you. the murtabak is a must try. the goat curry is simply sensational. their spicy crab curry is simply delicious. i usually include photos with my reviews but i think i have too many photos of all their dishes. attached is a picture of their dosa and murtabak, one of my all time sunday brekky faves. the family who own the restaurant are very hospitable and friendly. you can tell that this is their passion and it is evident in their dishes.

we come here regularly. it's better to make a table reservation before you go, the place is quite small and they are very busy all the time. usually only one person at the counter doing take away, cashier, waiter and cleaning up job, but service not too slow. we love love love love their goat curry. it's a must whenever we eat here, the best in brisbane! naan is amazing too! roti and dosa during weekend lunch hours are very delicious too! i once spoke to the lovely lady boss, they make their own curry paste, thus the quality is guaranteed! authentic malaysianindianfood! yum!
