went as a large group, on booking, told we couldn't order individually. so was offered the banquet, was given a price pp. Food portions and choices shocked for the price, esp for the vegetarians present, only bowls of sauce and rice, no vegetables/lentils to be seen. Were still charged for 3 guests that didnt attend. So, make sure of your... More

We were looking forward to a curry so we sat down at a table. We sat and we sat. Then we were given a menu - no water or opporunity to order a drink. Then we sat and we sat. Nothing happened for about another 10-15 minutes so we just left. Either no staff or couldn't be bothered? Hard to... More

Indian Food is one of our favourites - Shah Jahan was tops. We had a delicious meal and even the bread was something to talk about

Situated in a superb location opposite the beach in Coolangatta we thought we were in for a great night. How disappointing! Can't complain about the service. The young gentleman who served us was definitely not the happiest waiter I've ever seen but was polite & efficient. The food on the other hand was terrible. We would generally eat Indian food...

We are lovers of Indian food and we held high hopes for this restaurant. It looked the the real deal with lots of very helpful Indian staff, but the food tasted as if it had come out of a jar! I am sorry to say that but the selection of entrees were all boring deep fried numbers, the wine list... More

I was surprised to read some of the mixed reviews on Tripadvisor as my dining experience at this restaurant was very good.I dined twice at this restaurant - once for lunch, and once for dinner with our party of 4. The restaurant is located in a quite new building so ambiance is quite modern and new. The location is absolute... More

Very average service from poorly trained wait staff, melamine plates, dirty table clothes, unrecognizable "chicken" and the bill shoved under your nose without so much as a thought for "would you like any dessert or coffee". The only reason it doesn't get a 1 is that the lamb dish was quite good. The majority of the Gold Coast is becoming... More

It is very hard to find an good Indian food at Coolangatta. The taste for some reason is not there. We are always disappointed in a poor Indian dining experience. Give the Indian restaurants a miss and try something else

Let me start by saying that I love eating Indian food and this place is always first class for taste and quality. This is a family run restaurant and they are always friendly and welcoming. The food always arrives promptly. We like to space the different dishes out so they don't all arrive at once, which they accommodate. We have... More
