mamak tandoori house

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 spinachnaanwas yummy too. one curry is more than enough to feed both of us plus rice andnaanbread to share. the service was pretty efficienta and polite. we'll come back and try different curry!

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 eatingnaanand rice. so i'll have to find some other company next time to explore more of their range.

will be back. bestnaanin brisbane! we ordered for a group 3 curries, 2 meat 1 veg all in all good flavours. definitely too much food so go with an empty stomach.

delicious meal, and huge - we ordered 2 mains, 2 naans, 2 samosas and medium rice, planning for leftovers for next day lunch. as is, we got extra rice and separated it into 2 extra meals each. so 6 servings altogether, for $52 all up! and the kashmirinaanin particular was one of the best we've ever enjoyed, as was the saag paneer. great, friendly service as well. highly recommended.

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!naanis 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 malaysian indian food! yum!

the food here is fantastic. i have eaten many curries in my many travels i just never thought that i would find one of the best right here on our new doorstep. recently moved to camp hill we have been trialing the variety of eateries in the area. fancying a curry we visited mamak and my fellow foodie partner and i were blown away.

the flavours are spot on. you can taste that they are cooking with fresh spices. the serves are plentiful, the staff are friendly. ok the decor is typical of a suburban curry house but who really cares when they serve this kind of food.

thenaanis soft and fresh, we also had the chicken tikka masala (on the waiters recommendation), goat curry the eggplant vindaloo. all were fantastic.

i cant wait to return.

bold, rich flavours in the goa fish curry, but literally 5-6 small pieces of fish and 2 slices of capsicum for $16.50? fish was slightly over cooked too.

whilst the butternaanwas overall delicious, the last piece was dry and lacked butter, essentially representing a piece of cardboard with herbs sprinkled on top.

coconut rice lacked any true coconut flavour, but on the upside, the rice was cooked perfectly - not hard, not soggy.

ordered 3 malaysian style curries and they were all brilliant. tasted very authentic, full of flavour and perfect amount of spice. we had the randang, adam something or rather and a lamb kapitan - delicious. even the basmati rice and thenaanwere great.
will def. be back.

super tasty!. went there tonight with mum and the service was great and the food was incredibly tasty! the garlicnaanwas beautiful and nice and light :) the raitha was so fresh, the rice was perfectly cooked and out curry was nice and spicy and rich without being really heavy and rich like most curries. highly recommend this place! :)

maybe we struck an off night. we were recommended this restaurant, but will not return. the entrees were cold, thenaanbread was appalling (soggy with jarred yellow garlic scraped across it) and it was not delivered until the meal was over. the sauces were watery and lacked flavour and we were left with an unpleasant taste. the interior of the restaurant is not at all welcoming - feels like sitting in an industrial workman's lunchroom.. there are plenty of good ethnic restaurants around and this failed to meet our standards.

amazing!. we've always walked past this restaurant on the way to grill'd and thought the food looked really good. this time we thought we'd give it a go. i'm so glad we did! the food was amazing. we had a tray of assorted entrees, then the lamb curry with the bestnaanbread i've ever tasted. this restaurant will definitely be a regular for us from now on.

had a takeaway today...the food was really amazing and the taste of the curries have stick in my tongue and thenaanbread was so soft and tasty by chef muki...i will be ur permanent staff guys keep it up guys!u guys doing well

went there last nite after having walked past it earlier that day. then owners are from penang, so there is some authenticity. thenaanand tandoor chicken excellent. the assam fish lacks sourness, although it looked quite appetizing. the mackerel fish used was not freshest it could have been. i will come back n try the dosai, rotis
and fish head curry. for now only 6/10
