Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

There is a very causal feel about Roshni Indian By Raj Restaurant It makes a very good place to catch up with family and or friends. The very good service goes hand in hand with the flavoursome food! I would highly recommend it for your...next family get together date or business event!More

Staff were super good (sorry I never took note of your name , lady who booked us in!). We hadn't booked a table (will be sure to do so next time) and as we were dining early, were seated at a table for two with...an hour and a half's grace. More than enough to eat a BEAUT mango chicken and a goat curry, both with saffron rice and a shared garlic naan. Oh yes - and a bottle of Man of War Nz pinot gris. Total opinion? YUM!! Will def be back. THANK you! M K & R Millar (from Scotland) 🥰More

Once again Roshni Indian has made our night enjoyable, Been coming here for years & will continue too!! Their front house staff do an absolutely amazing service with a welcoming environment from taking a seat too walking out the door - followed by exceptional food,...even on their busiest nights they still do exceptional well. The owners should be very proud of what they have built together. Well done Team!!!! Kind regards Jai & HarlenMore

Re: food, staff, and service, Preet and the team at Roshni set the bar years ago and are still able to maintain that standard today. On this visit we enjoyed their classic Jeera rice, golden Dal Tadka (the best in the country) and Aloo Baingan....We had to order more for tomorrow because there won't be any left over and they are closed Mondays. And only open for lunch on Fridays? What's that all about? If they aren't open we don't actually aim to eat while we are in town. They are the top of their game in their cuisine category and in a league of their own when it comes to dining anywhere in Mackay, bar none. Dhanyavaad!More

Welcomed as soon as I got through the door, staff were very friendly and attentive. I order just a main course. Although the restaurant was busy the food was prepared in great time. I had the chicken madras some rice and a garlic nan bread....It was so good I came the next night and ordered the same again but had a tandoori chicken tikka starter. Food was fresh, hot and delicious.More

Thank you for your review. However, we have not been serving free rice for quite sometime with our curries due to the global supply issue and the price of rice has sky rocketed. We made a decision as a business to either charge for rice...More

I booked online for dinner on a Friday night. Booking system advised that 6:30 - 8:00pm would be my booking timeframe - complete with confirming email. When I got to the restaurant at 6:25pm for my booking, the waitress 'advised' I would need to be...completed by 7:30pm. I responded with 'When I booked, it was 'til 8:00pm". They led us to our table. Another waitress appeared promptly (different to previous occasions at the restaurant!), asking for drinks order, then meal orders - which we hadn't decided yet. She commented that she needed our order, as they would be pushing our orders through, even before others as we needed to be done before 7:30pm - "that's what my manager said". I again said that the booking stated that we had the table until 8pm... she left quickly and didn't return. One of our entrees arrived, which was delicious. Our second entree arrived a little later but was quickly followed up with our main courses! The mains sat on our table until we were ready to eat, making them less than the most optimum temperature for eating. The meals were delicious, as usual. We did end up at the table until about 7:45pm as we hadn't finished eating our mains 'til then. However, the pressure we felt to be fed and leaving within an hour soured our experience. It will be some time before I venture back to this restaurant, or recommend it to others...More

Paid for the food online and realised that I have not clicked delivery, charge of $10.00. When I called for a refund the customer service said she will. Follow up phone call after 2 days to see if the refund was processed still no answer.

Good but not great, but only let down on small things. The Naan I had was delicious but gritty(?) and the biryani was also delicious, but had a small chunk of bone in it. Not terrible but would not go back.

I've visited Roshni Indian by Raj for many times now, and let me tell you, this is truly the place to be if you're in the mood for some authentic Indian cuisine! The cozy ambiance and exceptional service, especially from Preet, create a delightful dining...experience. Preet's warm smile and attentiveness never fail to impress. She always ensures you leave with a satisfied stomach and a smile on your face. By the way, don't pay attention to the negative reviews. The team always check in to make sure that your meal is right and are happy to help! Their Butter Chicken is a highlight and their outstanding service are worth experiencing firsthand.More
