Looking for the best Indian food on the Gold Coast?
Then dine where the locals do, and head to one of these five top Indian venues when you’re in town. Whether it be a creamy butter chicken, some freshly cooked golden naan bread, or a spicy biryani, these restaurants will leave you feeling satisfied.
A hit with the locals for their tasty curries, this relatively new eatery offers the best of both Northern Indian and Southern Indian cuisines.
Order a hot Kadai Goat Curry if you are feeling adventurous, or a mild Chicken Biryani if you want to play it safe. The Cheese Dosa will be popular with the kids. Chiluka Indian Bistro has plenty of gorgeous vegetarian curries to choose from too.
Dish Cult Recommends: The $18.95 Fish Lababdaar
Fresh produce and freshly ground spices lovingly prepared into bursting flavours is what diners will find at Ginger.
The Murg Habibi with tender chicken marinated in herbs, spices and yoghurt and cooked in the tandoor is a good starting point. The Kastoori Kofta is a tasty vegetarian main course option, stuffed with mushrooms and cooked in a creamy fenugreek and tomato sauce. Mop up the sauce with Ginger’s spinach and cheese naan.
Dish Cult Recommends: The $28.50 Meen Moiley (barramundi cooked in coconut and lemon gravy)
The food at Agnee Indian is authentic, made using spices imported directly from India, and cheap. Plus the staff are genuinely happy to accommodate your every need.
Try the Bombay Potatoes, the Vegetable Korma, or a Vindaloo, Rojan Josh or Korma with beef, lamb, chicken, prawns, or goat.
We suggest the Indian rice pudding (called Kheer) for dessert, or the Kulfi (pistachio ice cream.)
The Kids’ Menu dishes here are good value for money at only $12.50 apiece.
Dish Cult Recommends: The $22.50 Beef Saag (mild, medium or hot)
Book a table at Saffron for authentic gourmet Indian in the heart of Broadbeach.
This restaurant is pure elegance, from the sparkling chandeliers to the plush furniture and classic table settings.
The food and cocktails here are bursting with colour. Quail and soft shell crab are special dishes to start your meal with. Lamb shoulder, barramundi and salmon simmered in delicate Indian herbs and spices are delicious main course options.
A fruity cocktail or two are a must at this swanky venue.
Dish Cult Recommends: The $21.90 Baigan Masala (minced eggplant curry)
Husband and wife team Sabir and Dolly cook up mouth-watering traditional curries using old family recipes that is impeccably presented.
We like the House Black Dhal, simmered for over 24 hours to make it velvety smooth, the Mushroom Korma featuring fresh field mushrooms, and the classic Saag Aloo (spinach, potato, cumin and chilli.)
Classic spirits and an excellent wine list complete the dining experience at Garlic Clove.
Oh, and did we mention that they won both an Australian Good Food Guide and a Restaurant Guru for 2021?
Dish Cult Recommends: The Trio of Curries, served with saffron rice and naan bread at $45.90 for Herbivorous or $49.90 for Carnivorous
