"we were disappointed. food was not good at all. service poor, restaurant dingy....staff were friendly, but would not recommend. no atmosphere."
We have previously ordered Indian style food online from this restaurant via Menulog and thought it was OK. Looking to eat out this week and we decided to try Indiyum Fair Dinkum Indian. I 'll keep it short...the venue is tired and a bit cobwebby with no views compared to outlets on the esplanade. Waited far too long for the food with one curry coming out 10 minutes ahead of the second one so we basically ate separately. Perhaps the most disconcerting aspect was the welcoming comittee just inside the door. Some lone guy reading a book and chugging down a bottle of red who, despite us having a booking, rudely told us where to sit based on the 2sq metre rule and had his poor liitle pooch whimp...

After we have read many previous reviews in this restaurant, we were a little doubtful about the going, but decided to make a booking for a table on a busy Saturday evening (which was easy) and found the service friendly and the eating delicious! it was a very busy time to be in the restaurant, and there was certainly a lot of going on, but not an inappropriate waiting for the meal that was served warm, at once and very professional. the meal included generously served and was good inexpensive. the decor is a little tired, but we had a good night.
the food was excellent. the combination of seasoned with the relevant heat level made every mouth an absolute joy and they just didn't want to finish it. the protein was boiled to perfection. the personal was very friendly and welcoming and I would not have thought to recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Indian cuisine. I am definitiw back.

Our main meals were beautiful, very tasty, fresh and hot. But the naan bread was the worst we’ve ever had, flat, bland and tasteless. Service was very slow, it was obvious the kitchen wasn’t running smoothly. Luckily the main meals saved the night!
Okay, to take away, not to eat. in the opposite to the menu they have no tandoor, so naans are heavy pan fried matters. huh is also breast and hard and dry. that said the rogane josh was delicious.
The food was excellent, however the service was very slow. Will go back to enjoy more of their dishes. We sat outside which was nice in the night sky. Great atmosphere
consistently good eating! we are always happy to eat here at our visit in caloundra. the staff is always friendly and helpful. large small restaurant
