9. Bengal Curry House
17 Fox St, Wynnum
As the name suggests, this place LOVES curry. From the more popular rogan joshes and chicken masala to the special occasion-only shahi korma, Bengal Curry House has it all.
3893 4266
8. Traditional India
6/11 Bowser Parade, Sandgate
If you’re looking for authentic Indian cuisine, opt for a place with ‘traditional’ in the name. Their menu has the whole shebang: tandoori, meat, seafood and vegetable curries and biryanis. It’s also BYO and fully licenced.
3269 0662
7. Taj Mahal Indian
722 Brunswick St, New Farm
It doesn’t get more Indian than proudly boasting on its website to have hosted the Indian Cricket Team five times. Taj Mahal’s extensive menu has a mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, such as their beef madras. There are also two banquets (regular and deluxe) for those who want the decisions made for them.

6. Sitar Indian Restaurant
331 Sandgate Rd, Albion
Opened in 1993, this restaurant finds itself situated in one of Brisbane’s fastest growing areas. Accompanied by a fully-fledged wine and beverage menu, Sitar’s menu has a mouth-watering signature dish list featuring butter chicken, goat curry and mango chicken.

5. Punjabi Palace
135 Melbourne St, West End
Owner and head chef Baljit Singh proudly brings his Punjabi heritage to inner-city Brisbane. In addition to their whopping 8-page menu, this palace is decked out with beautiful Indian murals adorning the walls.

4. Taj Bengal
338 Waterworks Rd, Ashgrove
A whopping menu provides multiple types of lamb, chicken, beef, seafood and vegetarian dishes, accompanied by too many naan and roti varieties to list. What more could you want?

3. Indian Mehfil
10 Felix St, Brisbane City, 116 Brisbane St, Ipswich City, 4 Morrow St, Taringa
The only Indian menu I’ve seen with tapas as an entree, but it must be doing something right to snag third spot. Three locations between Brisbane and the Lockyer Valley mean you’re never too far from a delicious lamb rogan josh or vegetarian channa masala.

2. Jaipur Palace
3/379 Main Rd, Wellington Point
Celebrating its 21st birthday in October, Jaipur Palace has been a labour of love for owners David and Sheena Singh. David says the most important thing about his restaurant is making sure that it’s “like you’re in India,” mentioning how the Wellington Point restaurant promotes a village feel. Their most popular dishes are chicken makhan (butter chicken), shahi chicken and chicken tikka masala.

1. Punjab Curry Club
2/391 Main Rd, Wellington Point
With double the votes of the competition, Punjab Curry Club was the stand out winner, possibly because of its mouth-watering lamb shank curry and seafood curry. Their menu is whopping, with royal red meat curries like madras, rogan josh and nawabi going great with yoghurt, fresh naan and steaming coconut rice.
For those wanting to take in as much of India as possible, all-you-can-eat Wednesday is only $22.90 ($12.90 for kids).
