While I personally found the dishes to be a bit mild and lacking in spiciness, they were still flavorful and enjoyable.

Our meal included meat samosas, tandoori prawns sizzling on a platter with onions, apricot chicken curry, and a plain naan. All of the dishes were delicious, especially the naan, which was the standout. The medium curry had just the right amount of spice, and the prawns were served generously (about five each). Rice came complimentary with the curry, so we didn't need to order any extra. The samosas and prawns were accompanied by a small side salad of lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were pleased to see Hello India maintaining its high standards. The restaurant is BYO wine, which was a nice touch. Thank you, Hello India!

This seems to explain the decline in quality of the food recently. The Tikka Masala, which used to be outstanding, is now subpar. Additionally, my Jalfrezi had an excessive amount of frozen peas and corn added to it, which is not traditionally part of the dish and was poorly cooked. Unfortunately, the last two times we dined at this restaurant, the food was disappointing and as a result, we will not be returning.

The spiciness level was on point. The naans were excellent and not burnt at all. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

My wife and I tried to dine in here on a Friday night around 6.30pm. There was nobody else in the restaurant when everywhere else was pretty busy (this should have been a big warning sign). We stood at the counter for almost 10 minutes waiting to be served. A line started accumulating of a couple of other people (this should have been warning sign #2). It is apparent this place is run by a wife and husband, with no other staff. Finally we were seated, then we sat for another 10 minutes and still hadn't been served. Eventually we just decided to get takeaway and it was much faster. We got home and we're excited to eat because it smelled incredible. Disappointing. The worse takeout I have ever had. Ever. Wow. The butter chicken I ordered tasted like a dessert it literally tasted like it had a bag of sugar in it. My wife got the chicken korma and it tasted like watery cream mixed with curry powder. It had no taste. I have had curries from Coles that taste better. How is it a supermarket curry can taste better than an Indian restaurant? You tell me. Considering the great food options in Nundah now, this place won't be around for long if they keep serving food this low quality.
