King's Indian Cuisine - Manly West

We regularly visited this restaurant whilst living in manly, the food was as close to a traditional curry as you can get, the sour lime lamb is absolutely superb. The service was always very good, and they always accommodated our requests. It was a silent relief from the majority of bland Australian fare.

I have never wrote a review before but felt compelled to after visiting The Kings Indian Cuisine at Manly, Brisbane last night. From the minute we walked in we were meet with hostility and terrible service. I have never ever before been for a meal where my husband and I and our friends felt so uncomfortable and unwelcome for the entire time. A gentleman came to take our order and was very abrupt in his manner. When the 4 main courses arrived it was dumped on the table in front of us with no explanation what each dish was. 3 people had ordered Saffron rice and 2 oval plates were put on the table. I ordered Coconut rice which they had forgot to make with no apology. When the coconut rice came it was like baby mush and was on a oval dish. When we called the miserable and rude waitress over to ask about the missing portion of Saffron rice we were told that the 2 plates were for 3 people however the Coconut rice was same size for just 1. The food was just ok but the shocking service made it an unpleasant experience. The plates were taken away after we'd finished in a very uncomfortable manner and I can truthfully say we will NEVER return and I wish we'd walked out!

We ordered takeaway. Phone service was very friendly & order was ready within 15-20 minutes. Food was scrumptious! We had the chicken korma & beef madras dishes, both of which were full of succulent portions of meat with no fatty bits with rich & tasty curry sauces. Both meat & veg samosas were scrumptious & the garlic naan bread was amazing. Yummy takeaway, we will be back for more. Highly recommended!

Had dinner here the other night with my partner, ordered the tandoori chicken to start and despite that we were the only people there it took a very long time to come out, it was very very dry and the yogurt sauce that accompanied it was flavoured with mint jelly. Yuck. I had the goat curry which was lacking flavour the meat was chewy and the cardamon pods were crunchy instead of deliciously soft and palatable which you'd expect from long and slow cooking. My partner had the vegetable vindaloo ordered it hot and it was hardly mild, it came with only some peas and carrots in a flavourless Heinz like tomato sauce was absolutely the most unauthentic disgusting meal. We also ordered the salad of cucumber tomato and onion, came out as hacked slices of tomato and massively sliced un edible rounds of red onion dressed barley in lemon juice. Waitress was lovely. Don't not bother eating here. Waste of time and money.

Had a great meal here tonight. Eating out as a family of 6 this place was fantastic! It's bring your own, so we grabbed a box of wine from the Thirsty Camel across the road and even wandering in a little late the guys here were more than accommodating. We had 6 different dishes all cooked perfectly with amazing flavours. The goat curry special was amazing. So we're the Bombay aloo ( not on the menu) we also had a seafood masala which was fantastic and I must say it was the best naan we have found in Australia, so much so we had 8. We are staying in Manly for another week or two so will definatly be back before we leave! If you fancy a tasty curry then this place is a must!!
