Mahendra's Indian Cuisine - Forest Lake

Recently moved to Acacia Ridge, stumbled across this little gem. Not disappointment. Great selection of indian food, recent menu changes means the prices did rise, however, still great value for money. They also have a some great lunch specials if you wanted to give it a go. Recommendations:Entree: Potato Vada, I would recommend that you purchase some mint yogurt sauce as well, not sure why this doesn't come with, as it does at other indian restaurants. but still give them a go. Main:Goat Curry. The actual restaurant is not flashy or fancy but the food is great I would recommend a visit.

We recently moved to the area and this restaurant is one of my favourite things about the fairly average shops and cafes around. The prices are excellent and whilst you have to pay for rice its $1. Highly recommend.

On the recommendation of a Singaporean friend who enjoys Indian food, I visited Mahendra's Indian Cuisine. Being on a late lunchtime Monday in a Brisbane suburb, the mid-size Halal certified restaurant cum takeaway was pretty quiet. There was not much of a wait to be served. The boss and chef, Mahendra told me that usually dinner time is busy. Between my wife and I we went particularly for the lunch time specials. I selected the "Meal Deal" consisting of Basmati Rice with any 2 curries (we chose Beef Vindaloo Hot & Vegetable Curry, plain Naan, Raita instead of salad, Pappadum and a free can of cream soda and 2 Samosa. We found the serve was sufficient for two. The food was really tasty especially the Beef Vindaloo (hot) and the Naan and the Samosa which were freshly prepared. The price for the portion we had was most reasonable for a lunchtime special. We were not disappointed.

Their food is good! But they recently printed new menus and had a price rise, plus now you pay extra if you want rice too.

We discovered this basic style restaurant and what a discovery. Restaurant deco very plain but the food makes up for it. Staff very humble and friendly. We had curry lamb and curry beef. So tender. So sweet. So yummy.And so reasonably priced. We will be back. It's definately a must go. Cheers.
