Randhawa's Indian Cuisine

Food was exceptional and staff very friendly and accommodating. We’ll be back again! Thank you for the lovely food, it’s hard to find a good Indian without being too sweet but more authentic!

I m currently on holiday at the Gold Coast and was searching for a restaurant to eat out that was near The Mercure Gold Coast Resort. Good thing I went to Randhawa's. As soon as I entered, I was immediately amazed with the ambience of the restaurant. The food was sublime. We ordered the Lamb Samosa, Seafood Curry, Butter Chicken, Tandoori Chicken and some Naan Bread. If you can handle spice I recommend ordering the curry's with medium heat, this'll bring out more flavour. Overall the service and quality of dishes were excellent.

Fantastic Indian Cuisine Experience! We recently dined last night (15/07/2023) at Randhawa's Indian Cuisine and had an incredible experience. The food was absolutely awesome, and the service was exceptional. From start to finish, it was a delight for our taste buds and an unforgettable culinary journey. The Mango Lassi was exceptionally creamy and delicious, providing a refreshing and delightful complement to the flavoursome meal. The Butter Chicken paired perfectly with the fragrant Jeera rice, just as the attentive wait staff had recommended. The Beef Vindaloo was truly exceptional, with a perfect balance of spices that tantalized our palate. Also, we absolutely loved the Cheese and Garlic Naan. Its delectable combination of flavours and fluffy texture made it a memorable accompaniment to the main course. A word of advice for future customers: I recommend ordering just one curry, one rice, and one naan at a time for two people, as the portions are generous. We made the mistake of ordering too much, and we ended up just taking it away -- which is fine. Randhawa's Indian Cuisine offers an exceptional dining experience. The food is incredible, the service is great, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Whether you're seeking a cozy dinner for two or a delightful takeaway, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. Enjoy!

We had a terrible experience at Randhawas and won’t be heading there again. Hailing originally from India, we wanted to try Randhawas as it seemed it be a luxury fine dining restaurant. We had a tiresome day and went for dinner. While we didn’t have a booking, the lady at the reception was very courteous and we were seated within 5-10 minutes. We were initially enjoying the decor and ambience. We ordered Amritsar Fish which was decent and my husband ordered beers. We had asked for goat curry (Indian hot version) for mains and it arrived soon with the tandoori roti. At first we were delighted to see the curry was piping hot just as we like it and started enjoying the food (though the tandoori roti had ghee and we usually don’t prefer ghee - though we didn’t ask about it initially). Soon to our dismay I found a piece of hair in my goat curry and quickly called the gentleman serving us. On showing him the hair, he kind of laughed at seeing the hair and just took away the goat curry without saying anything. We then waited for him to remove our plates. He came back after a while and then took away my plate but didn’t take away my husbands plate. Thereafter another lady working on level 1 came and replaced my plate with the cutlery. All this while my husband plate hadn’t been removed and the breads were going dry and we were let what was happening. We requested the gentleman who had served us to call the manager and were let waiting for much longer. Then we called another person serving tables if my husbands plate could at least be removed and be replaced with fresh plate. This was done though they didn’t bother to give him fresh cutlery. My husband politely asked the second person what would happen with the rotis as they had gone stonecold by now and this gentleman asked if he could microwave it for us!! We were appalled at the turn of events and requested again if we could please speak with the manager. At first we were told our rotis or breads will be microwaved for us. We’ve never had microwaved rotis at home as these are always a had fresh in any Indian household. In the meantime the replaced goat curry arrived. White it was hot in terms of temperature this one wasn’t Indian hot as we had previously requested. We were growing tired of repeating ourselves so we didn’t mention anything about this. Thereafter the manager who was a lovely lady came and apologised to us and we told her we understood it wasn’t her fault, though we never expected this in a restaurant like Randhawas. She was really courteous and profusely apologised on behalf of the staff and asked if there was anything she could do. My husband still didn’t have a spoon to have the curry and had to request for it separately. Our replaced roti soon arrived and the manager offered to order another round of roti for us. Soon after as the 1st floor starting getting a bit empty, we heard the staff arguing in the background. There was also a girl who was serving tables and had been scolded for not doing her job well and she kept dropping cutlery on the floor as she went around tables. She seemed least interested in customer service and was throwing around utensils in the bar area quite loudly. We were keen to finish our food and go back home as this was far from the fine dining experience we had been looking forward to. We went to the main reception to finalise our bill. As a compensation the manager did not charge us for 1 tandoori roti and mentioned that while it takes 3 days for bio membership to be activated and one needs the card to avail the vip cost price, she would offer us the vip price on our bill for tonight (and that vip price is not always offered on all items but she would put it across for our bill). All in all we won’t be going back to Randhawas and felt while the decor and location were superb, the customer service simply let it down. The food portion size was quite decent and the manager seemed the only responsible lady in the staff and we felt sorry for her as she seemed hurried, rushed and overworked.

***updated- not only can this business not take criticism, they also hop onto my reviews throughout different platforms and bully me!!!! (Shame on admin for allowing this- isn’t this meant to be a place where Customers give honest Reviews? I am as honest as I can be, giving reviews, I’m not here to slander people, nor do I take bullying from anyone who attempts to insinuate that I am dishonest about the quality of food and the behaviour of certain staff members. Absolutely disgraceful human behaviour! Keep editing your lies, and block me so I cannot respond to you personally, and calm your ego!!!! I feel very sorry for the staff, who are clearly under appreciated and micro managed! (And yes , upon leaving, the customers really are forced to give good reviews, with 5 stars , before paying! ) It’s not difficult to read them and figure it out !!!!Treat them with respect!! 1 solitary star just for the decor and presentation and beautiful location. , unfortunately the food is not the best. The manager was nasty to her poor staff , who are awesome . So before leaving our table, the waitress(who clearly was trained to do this)- gave us a flyer with a prize upon entering the draw, by signing up and becoming a member- but apparently it takes 3 days for it to go through lol …then, while paying , the owner literally demanded that to be eligible for the draw , we had to follow and like their facebook page and give a 5 star review!!!!! Food is way overpriced for the poor quality. Oh as for the old signage out the front , advertising Wednesday buffets- it does not exist!!!!
