Indian Mehfil Taringa

We find Indian food to be the best takeaway option in these corona days as it seems to travel well & is easily reheated in the microwave. Have to say Indian Mehfil chain of cafes serves up great authentic Indian food. My order of pumpkin curry was one of the best I have had in Brisbane to date. Chock full of chunky sweet butternut & onions with a good chilli hit. Only let down was garlic naan bread very rubbery

Delicious, authentic Indian. Amazing service.
Been here a number of times now and every time the food has been incredible - tried so many different things.
Alcohol is priced well too.
So good having this as our local - it’s the BEST!!

One of the best Indian places in all Brisbane. The decor is pretty damn swish, staff super friendly and attentive and the mango lassi was the best I've ever had. 

Also the butter chicken is the bomb.

Nice ambience. Ample parking space. Perfect place to have party celebrations. Food is served in generous portions and is delicious. Staff is friendly and ensure high standard of service. Reservations are not required as the capacity is huge. Try their Bhendi Masala and Vegetable platter. Good quality food. Do Visit and definitely you will have good time with friends and family.

When on a Saturday night for mums birthday. Really happy with the food and service! All the dishes were so yummy, especially the Chicken Madras and garlic naan 😋 I was also pleasantly surprised with the pistachio kulfi too! It tasted delicious and authentic. I'll definitely be coming here again ❤️

This is an outstanding Indian restaurant that works well on every level. The food is fresh and tasty and served in generous portions, and the service is fast, attentive and polite. Ambience is casual and relaxed, in a large, airy and comfortable space with perfect acoustics. To top it off, the restaurant even has its own little parking area, right outside. There are ample spaces so it couldn’t be more convenient. Toilets are at the far end. There are adequate cubicles for males and females and they’re clean and well provisioned. My wife and I dined on a quiet Fri night in midwinter. Despite the lack of carpets; the brick walls, wooden ceiling and strong lighting gave the place a warm and homely atmosphere, and we weren’t cold. Perhaps there are some heaters out of sight somewhere, although I didn’t notice any. We had taken the precaution of booking ahead, but it wasn't necessary as there were plenty of tables, and we ended up sitting at a nice spot against the wall at the back. The upholstered chairs or bench type seats, and large tables that can easily fit all the food and the drinks, made for a comfy and pleasant evening. They have an extensive menu with banquets, platters and individual dishes and a large and varied selection of alcoholic beverages. There’s something for everyone in both the drinks and the food department. We started with a glass of our fav Moscato, and a bottle of refreshing Great Northern Super Crisp, ($7 per drink); a great way to start the evening. For entrees we ordered the mixed platter ($17) which contained a vegetable samosa, two chicken tikka pieces, two lamb chops and two different dipping sauces. The samosa was chunky and neatly sliced down the middle, so although there was only one piece, it was quite sufficient. But the whole platter was a filling and delicious entree, each item beautifully prepared, with the meat tasty and succulent. For mains, we ordered lamb rogan josh ($23) and palak paneer ($20) with basmati rice ($3) and cheese and garlic naan($6) as the accompaniments. Again, the meals were delicious. My lamb was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and cooked in those fragrant and tasty Indian spices that we love so much. The “palak paneer” is a spinach delicacy with home made cheese. It was an interesting vegetarian contrast to the lamb. The naan was soft and fluffy, and the rice was cooked to perfection. Everything was prepared with love, care and attention to detail, and presented to the table on smart colourful crockery. We ended with our fav gulab jamun ($5) which they kindly split into two separate portions for us to share. The balls were soft and soaked in a sweet syrupy sauce. The ideal way to end the meal. We paid $75, after a 25% discount with the Ent Book (max discount $35). To put that into perspective, without the discount (which came to $19) we would have paid $94, for three drinks, one entree, two mains with rice and naan bread and a single dessert. This just shows the extent to which our little Aussie peso has become a worthless piece of paper, thanks to govt profligacy and reckless spending. The poor management here can’t even keep the online menu up to date because prices are increasing so fast. For example the lamb is listed as $21, real price is $23. The “palak paneer” is listed as $19, actually $20, although other prices were consistent with what we were charged. But despite this, I have to hand it to these guys, because this is a professional, well appointed and stylish restaurant, serving premium quality Indian food in a pleasant and relaxed ambience, and with first class service to match.

Can't fault this place, have had many deliveries over the covid period, and only just went and dined in store with family on Friday night. Very open and roomy, enough light and a generally good feel about it. The staff were polite and regularly passed the table, so it was not hard to get assistance. The food was pretty quick to come out, and they do cater for the young ones 👶🧒. the only downfall I can say is, they don't have a coffee machine. but I'm unsure about everyone else after a meal, but I generally like a pick me up after a couple of drinks and big dinner to get me ready for the drive home. also, in saying that, I cannot expect an Indian restaurant to have coffee... maybe Tea? didn't ask, but very happy with this place. it's one of the best I've been to in Brisbane. and super local for me!
