    We were greeted by a friendly female staff and our waiter came shortly after. I appreciated the specials and advise on what was popular at the restaurant. For our entree we had lamb seekh kebab recommended but i felt they were a bit undercooked. The pickled onions served with it was good. For our mains we had goat curry (pretty good) and dal makhani (was ok to my liking). Roti was great compliment to the curries and the onion salad ordered was not cut properly enough and came a few minutes late. Service was good and overall would recommend a try.

    Restaurant is very well presented with white table cloths and everything seems to be in order. The host was very obliging and the food was very authentic and delicious. As I am trying to stay on a healthy diet our host directed us to some great dishes like the wonderful broccoli with nuts done in the tandoor. Chicken tikka masala was great too. Dahl very tasty. Well worth trying this restaurant. We will return. Prices were very reasonable too.

    6.30pm booking with 2 children. Entree’s were explained and were served quickly and tasty. Unfortunately main courses were not served until 8.45 and somewhat cold. My grandson’s chicken nuggets were strange like sloppy chicken mince that tasted of prawns! We took most food as takeout. Disappointing bill which was very expensive ($350 minus $50 yums discount) for 4 adults and 2 children.

    The serve size was too small. Entrees 3 pieces for the price of $22! That is unreal for any indian restaurant with that price tag. We order Biryani with a med spice level and were served extremely spice one. When we were leaving the place leaving back the food they served the owner req the chef to serve us another mild Biryani as take away but that too was similar spice level. Looking at our experience surely never going to visit this place again in future.

    Spice Mantra Indian RestaurantOwner

    Sorry Mam you already left this review on our google profile Seems like you are putting it every where You ate entire Biryani and you also took another Biryani as replacement and you got 50% Discount and we gave you good service we provided you containers to take left over food At that time you did not complaint Please 🙏 ask your self is it fair what you are trying to do ?

    This restaurant was able to present dishes that clearly tasted different. Being of sub continental origin we were able to specify our taste requirements and levels of spice & hotness such that te original flavours were demonstrated. The Malabar fish was excellent as was the goat bhuna. The lamb Shrikharan was quite different to the goat and to me this was the pass with ‘high distinction’. Finally the chicken JungliMurg was completely different and had ingredients like green chillie, onion etc that were lightly cooked and complemented the flavour. My only suggestion would be that if possible portion sizes could be marginally increased.

    My partner and I went on date night. The staff were so welcoming and attentive, they were fantastic. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend the Prawn Tawa Masala, it was sweet, spicy and delicious. They also have a very reasonable corkage option if you want to bring your own wine. We will definitely be going back.

    Although we've read some bad reviews on this restaurant but decided to go thanks to half price and double yums from the Fork. The manager was enthusiastic at the start, food came reasonably on time but the nan bread has lots of bitter burnt areas. The fish was only 4 small pieces at $35! When we aired our opinion on payment, the manager said this was their normal serve size. No more smile after he knew we're on the Fork deal. Won't be going back sorry.

    Thank you Sir In Regards to fish portion size Our portion size are big compared to other Indian Restaurant And Naan Bread is cooked in charcoal Tandoor it is normal to have some time burnt particles on the edge of Naan The Naans which you have tried must be prepared in Pizza oven We only use Charcoal Tandoor to cook our Breads Please send dish back to kitchen if you are not happy with portion size we can always add extra pieces of fish for you We want you to have memorable dining experience Unfortunately we couldn't satisfy you Please 🙏 accept my apologies Looking forward to serve you again Thanks

    Decent size serving. Food was great. Onion bhajia as the entree was delish and a great size. Butter chicken was smokey and the right amount of spice. We opted for 4 in the scale of spice and it was a little spicy but for someone that only likes a tiny bit of spice I would opt for a 2. The garlic naan was also smokey and tasty. Overall great meal.

    Food was terrible. The butter chicken had barely any salt or cream in it and was filled with sweet tomato sauce. The manager recommended some sort of paratha, from memory Malcha Paratha, which was also inedible.

    Spice Mantra Indian RestaurantOwner

    Sir As I mentioned you Butter chicken is a mild dish prepared from fresh tomatoes cream cardamom mild herbs and spices As you are from Bangladesh I told you it is Anglo Indian Dish which meant to be mild and little spicy and for your knowledge No Indian Restaurant makes Butter chicken in Tomato Sauce Secondly we don't have any Malcha Prantha on the Menu I understand why you are upset because you asked me to do double billing separately so you can get extra Yums and my answer was No to you Humble request 🙏 please do not try to damage our reputation Thanks for your feedback

    Worst experience ever!!!! We feel cheated of a good night out with the family. We were the ONLY table who (1) was not given chutney with the papadums, (2) had to wait for more than hour for our mains (3) there was hair in our food! Instead of enjoying the night, we could not even carry a conversation anymore because we were so hungry! They kept on saying the food's coming out soon but we were kept waiting. The restaurant was not even busy, less than half full. When food finally arrived, it was ruined for us after I found strands of hair & horrifyingly one ended in the spoon of food I put in my mouth. The lady kindly offered to replace the rice, but what was so off putting was her concern was mainly because of the review they will get! To top it all off, the food was bad. We ordered 3 different mains & they all tasted the same & lacked the punch of Indian spices. When the owner asked about the food, I gave my honest feedback that they all tasted the same. He actually understood our disappointment & agreed the flavour were all the same. But he gave the excuse it's because they removed the peanuts due to my son's allergies.....but we find that so ridiculous because obviously we always only order meals that don't have peanuts because of my son's allergies! The menu itself did not list peanuts but cashew nuts. Honestly, the food in the food court has more flavour!!!! Lastly, they cannot even give us our own tax invoice so the owner gave us someone else's! He said he needs to delete our invoice in their system so he cannot give me a copy. This restaurant has mastered the art of ruing what is supposed to be a good family night out!!!

    Spice Mantra Indian RestaurantOwner

    Thank you for your feedback We always give tax invoice to every customer because we have square system it does not allow us to settle payments unless we give tax invoice to the customer In Regards to our food we make every dish different and they don't taste same I say because please refer to views given by another customers Hair in food ?? I am not sure about it when it happened? You would have sent the food back to the kitchen Thanks again for your valuable feedback
