Reviews Aarth Cafe

Once again we enjoyed the food and hospitality of this small coffee shop/cafe. Their food is excellent and reasonably priced. A great place to meet friends and enjoy good food in comfortable casual surroundings.

Favourite. Great food and service. The food has real flavour. Been going there for years. My son feels the same way about this place. Recommended​ if you want quality.

My family and I went to this restaurant at the request of my mother to celebrate her birthday.
She told me it was a cafe during the day and an indian restaurant at night so I was bracing myself for ordinary food, especially when we arrived to an empty restaurant, save one middle aged couple.
What I found instead was an little-known gem.

The Positives

We ordered 4 dishes, one was a non-indian dish for the fussy eater, a burger with delicious herbed, thick cut chips, rare to have a range of non-indian options.

The other dishes had the best tasting sauces of any indian I have so far eaten in Brisbane.
I've been to all the indian restaurants & take-away joints in New Farm and Paddington, including the Nepalese, and more around Brisbane, these were the best.
The tikka masala and the fish curry were phenomenal - delicious sauce with a deep, rich taste, never too strong, plentiful portions of gorgeous, perfectly cooked barramundi and chicken.
We also ordered the lamb rogan josh - the sauce was fantastic, with plentiful meat portions but was overall dissappointed, as per below.
The garlic naan was plentiful for the price and did taste good, surprised at the amount they gave us, the waitress assuring us that one serving was enough for 3 people.

The prices were excellent, I was surprised when the bill came, thinking how much less each dish was than Miss India, yet so much better! They also let us split the bill in two.
The service from the waitress was prompt and understanding, never bothersome.
The restaurant was clean, well-appointed and spacious with comfortable seating.


The Negatives

While it was a weekday, the meals took at least 35 minutes or more to be served after ordering. I admit it looked like there was only one chef and one waitress.
When we ordered the prawn dish, we were informed that they no longer had prawns due to the time of year and confusingly hadn't stocked them for months.
As alluded to earlier, the lamb in the Rogan Josh, while large portions, was cut into 1 inch x 1 inch cubes, and was large and dry. Cutting them was a chore and the taste was disappointing, while the sauce was very good.
Cooking them in much smaller cut sizes would have been ideal.
The garlic naan did taste good, but were on the thin and dry side.

I will certainly be going back again and recommending to friends but hope to see some (minor) improvement in the above.

I go here regularly for coffee and often the smashed avocado on toast. Yum! Arvo on Turkish topped with feta and seven spice.. just delicious! The almond croissants are also worth a try, homemade and delicious. Always friendly service who know my coffee order! Thanks guys!

Unreal dinner tonight - fabulous food, fabulous service - congratulations to the young people running it - definitely worth a visit - we will be back

This placed has surprised me. It's a random cafe next to Coles and a sushi place and I had my doubts as to if they could deliver. I've been there three times, once for dinner, once for breakfast and once to grab a coffee.

They serve a variety of Indian dishes for dinner, and it was quite good. I asked the waiter what he recommended and he suggested the Kali Murch Murg: a spiced chicken dish with "earthy" flavours. It was good, but didn't wow me and I probably wouldn't order it again. However, taste is very subjective so don't knock it until you've tried it.

My breakfast experience was good, they have a variety of selections from poached eggs on toast with hollandaise to smoked salmon with cream cheese, avocado and rocket on a bagel. I appreciate the variety of breakfast items that they serve at Aarth because you can't find all of their options at other cafes in the area.

Lastly is their coffee. I was really impressed. I didn't know what to expect, but they served me an excellent latte and I would certainly go there again for another one.

Very nice cafe at Taigum shopping centre on Rogan Road. The staff are lovely, helpful and friendly. I was impressed with my chosen meal, easily the prettiest looking dish I’ve had in a long time. The meal was well balanced and tasted great. It was a generous serve. My dining partner ordered pork belly and beetroot slaw and he enjoyed t very much. We would order both meals again. Sweet Potato Fritter 2 poached eggs, 2 rashers of bacon, grilled capsicum, sumac yoghurt topped on base of tomato chutney and baby spinach.

This is a lovely little spot with a relaxed vibe! I have had the French toast twice and absolutely loved it both times! As you can see in the pictures the presentation is very consistent and beautiful ☺️

This has been our favourite cafe coming here almost every weekend. Great food and coffee and everything we have tried on the menu has always been amazing.

I have been here a few times now, orders came out fast, presentation was amazing and staff were friendly. This is an amazing little cafe and I highly recommend it
