The thaali was amazing. Every dish including the rice , cooked to perfection. Thukpa was very authentic. Been a very long time since we had good Indian/ Nepalese food. Will surely go again. Urge everyone to try just once.

We used to love this place as a neighbourhood indian restaurant. But last experience was horrible with 2 hours of wait time, poor service and spoiling a wonderful evening. The unapologetic behavior of the waiter at the front desk was the worst part !! About time the hotel management does something , else they will keep losing customers. I am definitely not looking forward to go to the restaurant any time soon. Also, I believe an UBER order has more control than sitting at the restaurant.

Absolutely shocking service, ordered at 7:45pm got there to pick up at 7:50pm. No one acknowledges you to say sorry about the delay. I asked where my food is got a soon. Finally received food at 9:00. Then got home and realised I was missing the fries we ordered. Went back waited another 15 min no sorry about it complementary anything. Got home started eating realised the samosas were not even cooked got outside cold inside. The staff is useless here. Will never come back again. If there are busy all they need to is keep a customer updated with what's happening. And say sorry for the mistake.

Food is really nice and fresh. Food is 10/10 but the wait time is a bit longer but worth it. Customer service could be better.

Loved the food at this Indian/ Nepalese fusion restaurant. Quality Indian food made very well with perfect spice balance. My spinach & onion pakoras were light & delicate & not swimming in oil as is usually the case in a lot of restaurants. Aloo Ghohi was also a delight, spices in the sauce were perfectly blended & my request for Indian hot was spot on. Service also very good by a beautiful waiter who served us years ago at the former Sitar. He actually remembered us. Such a shame they are not closer to Kangaroo Point would visit a lot more often. Thankyou for a great dinner guys

TL;DR: This is a cut above most of the Indian places around town, possibly for the sheer attention to detail with every morsel that was cooked. The unusual range of offerings also helps shape the reputation of the place, and it is not bad to see some Nepalese influence mixed in there as well. Overall, this is definitely worth a go. <br/><br/>If this the right place where I got my delivery from, the experience could not be any different than what many others implied around here. Much of the food was not only delicious, but it at some points came across as chef-level quality. With a whole lot Indian places having been done over the years, from the whole blur of them many have stood out for regarding their quality and this may well be among the best of them. <br/><br/>It was quite the weekend for a fan of the WWE, when back-to-back PPVs are showing on the WWE Network that is a time to get excited. As a fan who touts Money in the Bank being the favourite, and I am not in a minority there either, for it to be treated as one of the big ones (i.e. an NXT Takeover being there in conjunction) was like Christmas coming early. Nevertheless, the usual ritual when it comes to those PPV events was in place. Arrange some delivery to the home place, and eat it in front of it. What a night it was. <br/><br/>No real rhyme or reason was put in place for choosing the place, though in saying that Indian has often proven itself to be more than reliable on numerous occasions. There always seems to be one popping up, or one that becomes elusive for several months until it is pointed out. The Coorparoo Curry House was just that. Two times to attempt getting it all right via UberEats, and the rest was just to sit and wait it out for the food to arrive after putting on the rice. <br/><br/>Again, not too much in the way of service to be critiqued. Big order again, which understandably made the ETA a bit delayed - that was a good touch for customer service - and the important thing is that the food arrive promptly, still piping hot and delicious to eat. What makes this all the more better, is the food made fresh to order which gives it that edge of quality, and customer service. <br/><br/>It may well be the menu that helped distinguish this place out from the rest of them. Sure, for those clients who like one of the usual curries, those are there. One of the aspects of the menu is a selection of Nepalese snacks and meals, but that is not what really stood out. What stood out was some of the inventiveness of the curries, which come more like someone in the kitchen trying a new approach to a curry they often cook instead of being a flashy Michelin showman. <br/><br/>From the get-go, everything that has been stated so far about the food becomes apparent with the starters. The selection is not too big here, mostly a range of different pakoras. After that, it is time to get onto the curries - and we start off with the classics. These can be gotten in the usual increments of mild, medium, and hot, with the main meats of beef, lamb, and chicken. After that lot, the following selections of curries are specials - mostly chicken ones that are a range of favourites, of Indian specialties and ones starting to show the inventiveness of the place, and that latter one segues into the signature dishes. Goat, lamb shank, and chicken kofta are just some examples for the basis of the dishes. <br/><br/>For those who like a bit of seafood, or prefer to get a vegetarian curry, they also have those on offer. A plus is that the vegetarian selection is definitely more than a merely lot of paneer curries, since there is potato and dahl one in addition to that. Finishing off the Indian part of the menu is a few lots of rice dishes, a generous round of  naans (all pretty a-steal as well), and the usual lot of accompaniments. <br/><br/>With the Indo-China/Nepalese section of the menu, it is considerably smaller but has the range of interesting delights on offer. The starters are a whole lot of momos, and some more basic meaty bites. Much like the Indian part of the menu, the meals are able to ordered according to desired spice levels. Whether they are representative of Nepalese cooking as a whole is debate I have no horse in, though from an analysis some of the meals have a semi-Chinese vibe to them with some of the others definitely having a curry-based influence to their make-up. All of this creates one unique selection of goodies that is sure to delight almost any patron. <br/><br/>To begin the meal, it is always a case of getting some starters. With so many to chose from, and they all looked so good, going for broke was the idea. They had a tasting platter on the menu, which gave two apiece of chicken tikka, onion bhaji, tandoori prawn, and vegetable samosas plus the sauces that often go with the said bites. <br/><br/>Right from the start, this proves to be a tasty number. This may be the one time that I cannot list it in order for what was the best, because it was all good, and every one had a good flavoured marsala in them. The samosas were giant, and filled with a mild mixture of potato and peas. Around it was a thick, solid and slightly buttery pastry that really held it together. Samosas can be a bit on the passe side, but this one was alright. <br/><br/>Onion bhajis are usually the indication for how good the Indian place is, hence why it often seems that they are ordered. This time around the consensus was pretty good. They were more shaped like patties than anything, had the same slightly sweet flavour to them from the caramlised onion and the mixture of spices made it even better. So far so good. <br/><br/>The tandoori prawn was delicious, and the sauce around it had a slightly tomato-like taste. It was sweet and tender, and had a tempura batter going around it. This is how prawns are done best, and that is all that needs to be said there. <br/><br/>Last and certainly not least comes to the chicken tikka. Boneless bits of chicken, which must have been some of the most tender morsels that are around, were marinated in a yoghurt mixture as well as the usual tandoori spices before the grilling began. And that made for an endlessly delicious, moreish and irresistible recipe. <br/><br/>It was not only that, one more starter that I could not go past was their Camembert Bollywood. Essentially a pakora made from the titular cheese, it was cooked in a tempura batter flavoured by fennel, ginger, and coriander. As much as it can begin to melt, that what it was doing making a rich, and gooey texture plus the taste was its strong characteristic self. The flavours around it were pleasant, and regardless of what kind of restaurant this came from it was an inventive, and moreish little number. It may well be the pinnacle about how this place ticks. <br/><br/>Trying out the main part of the menu, a couple of curries were gotten. With the big range of less usual curries available, that is exactly what I steered towards. That was a two-fer with the lamb rara, and the chilli chicken. The lamb rara was cooked in a thick curry gravy that was flavoured by an unusual array of spices. A misnomer aside with the kind of meat used (it said lamb mince, but it was distinctly bits of fillet), nevertheless the lamb meat was really tender, the texture of the sauce was thick and buttery, and how it all hangs together works a treat. <br/><br/>For the chilli chicken, it was kind a mix between a curry and something along the lines of sweet and sour pork. By that, the bits of chicken were probably fried, and cooked with a combination of capsicum, onion, and red chilli with a thick sauce. The amount of pieces were plentiful, and they went down a treat. This was ordered hot, and I asked for it quite hot, and that it did not disappoint. <br/><br/>Another aspect that works quite well in their favour is the portion sizes. Even just one of these would be a decent enough meal, even between a couple of people, and two did a dinner and possibly a couple of lunches. Just imagine a big group together ordering so many dishes from here - that is an overlooked mark of a good place. <br/><br/>Add onto that some naan - a cheese and garlic one this time around. Now when it comes to the naan, this is the kind of thang I am talking about. The serving size was pretty generous, and it came folded/cut into two pieces. Plus, there was an unashamed layer of oil and butter drizzled over the surface, with the bits of roasted garlic glistening as a result. This made all the difference, and combine that with the texture of the bread being cooked to just the right consistency - it was pretty much perfect. <br/><br/>Indian is often a major winner when it comes to going out, or when it comes around to some delivery. It rarely ever goes wrong. Going to the other end of the field, what really causes attention to be grabbed is not when it goes just right, but when something really stands out about it - whether it is readily apparent or not. The Coorparoo Curry House is definitely it, and it has completely changed my perception when hearing the term "curry house". What definitely needs to be done, is to try this place out, seek it out, and enjoy the fare that they have on offer. <br/><br/>Final rating: 4.5 - if there was some lassi on the menu, or a possibly of a sweet (even a mere gulab jamun) being available, then it is quite likely this would have secured and scored that sweet 5.0-score. And I don't give them out for merely being all-round good. If what we had here is any indication, it would definitely be good to see what the chef's could spin regarding sweets.

Wow I've never had "Mexican" this bad. Nachos topped with peas, lettuce and some other unidentifiable vegetables. Tacos with peas, potato, green beans and carrot and a chimichanga that was curried chicken with rice wrapped in a soft tortilla with guacamole on top. <br/><br/>In case you read this and think well that sounds interesting we tried it so you don't have to. Save yourself and run for the hills!

Ordered take away - ran out of lamb shanks unfortunately.... had Nepalese chicken and momos - quite okay. Bf had mango chicken however wasn't overly impressed. Service was quick and friendly though. Reasonably priced.

A+ customer service, great food. <br/>Went for their Wednesday wings deal and was very pleasantly surprised. Between my partner and I we tried all 3 flavours of wings and loved them, best garlic and cheese naan either of us have had and the Go Green mocktail perfectly soothes after the spicy Chipotle wings. <br/>Staff were very friendly and effecient, inside dining area was laid out well, presented beautifully and air conditioned.

I've been wanting to try this place since it opened. They have a 2 for 1 Tuesday special, so decided to try it last night. There is no mention on their website about BYO or licenced, so I asked when I called to book & was told they are fully licenced and no BYO, even wine. On arrival we were presented with a much more limited menu than the one on their website, which was a disappointment. Also the prices were a lot higher. Burritos $17 vs $11.50 and curries $20 vs $15.90. Hmmm. Also I noticed other people walking in with bottles of wine and a corkage charge on the menu?? We ordered 2 drinks, a Sav Blanc and a beer. The beer and a red wine was delivered to the table. This was sorted without drama. When we ordered our meals we were told it would be about 1/2hr, which is pretty excessive considering it was 6pm and I think we were the first order. The food however was pretty good, even if the mains arrived before the entree. Very friendly and attentive staff and the food I would have given a 3.5 - 4. I just found the whole 2 for 1 thing to be a bit of a scam and don't know what to make of being told no BYO wine when everybody else in there bought a bottle. The net result was it was no cheaper than other Coorparoo/Camp Hill Indian restaurants and I wanted to try fusion dishes, of which there where pretty much none on the limited Tuesday menu. My advice would be go on another night and give the 2 for 1 a miss.

I always visit fusion delight for takeaway curry and naan bread. They're staff are always polite and they are always prompt with preparing orders. The serving size for curry and bread is generous and they are never skimpy on taste or flavour. Would definitely recommend
