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.

Bent over backwards to allow our dog into the back area. Meals were typically country huge size and tasted great. The staff are so welcoming and made sure we had a great time. Great food, cold drinks, good times. Well worth the visit.

Had tea there TUE night It was DELISH I do love some Indian curries, And the staff were so lovely! Butter chicken, Rogan josh, Lamb Masala & the Paneer were all lovely - ( I recommend getting the Raita condiment it went well with everything...we ordered). Everything was fantastic. Lamb and chicken were very nicely cooked. It was all just great. Nothing we had was hot with Chilli and suited everyone at the table - if you like to spice things up a bit make sure to ask for it and they can accommodate, I will definitely go for some heat next time. We left full to the brim. But not before sharing some desert, Gulam Jamun, it was sooo good, light little dumplings soaked in a sweet sugar syrup with icecream - yum yum. The Drinks were cold and plentiful, and the outdoor garden was lovely as the sun went down - great night all round.😍More

Since moving to Kaniva, I have been cooking Indian from scratch at home. Tonight was the night we got to relax and have someone else do the cooking. We ordered butter chicken and Palak Paneer with some naan bread. Knowing we needed dinner on the...table early, we ordered via messenger ahead of time for 5.30pm pick up. They were extremely prompt with taking our order and the food was ready on the dot. We love a good quality Indian meal and the club hotel did not disappoint. The food was delicious with generous servings. We could not be happier with our meals and the friendly service. We will definitely be ordering from them again.More

These guys are trialling an Indian menu, and being a big fan, we ordered a broad selection of curries and entrees to share with friends. We were not disappointed. This is authentic Indian and if you are traveling the Western Highway between Melbourne and Adelaide,...do yourself a favour and check it out. Loved the tikka masalla, dal, lamb rogan josh. All well priced. You can also pre order and pick up via drive through. There's also a really cool beer garden there with nice mural and RSL display in the hallway.More

Arrived for drinks and dinner. The owner behind the bar came across as not wanting to be there. Very unengaging, couldn't crack a smile. Poor selection of drinks for a pub. Meals were unremarkable. The new outside area was nice but the inside was dreary....Saw the place was for sale - hope it's taken up by someone with passion and drive, because it's a nice town and deserves better.More

Asked for a sparkling mineral water or soda water. No, don’t have either, we have run out..... then asked to wait a good ten minutes before we could place our order and advised there would be a wait on the meal when we did eventually...place the order. Not kidding. We waited nearly an hour. Massaman lamb curry was nice but see photos of pappadams. Just appalling and inedible. The garlic prawns were missing a garlic flavour or any flavour at all really. Yes plenty of them but just tasteless. Give it a miss. Renovations do not improve the food or the service. Most disappointing experience. The dining room was certainly not what we would call busy either.More

Overnight stop in Kaniva and decided to try the Club Hotel for a meal. It was Thursday night Schnitzel night - a choice of chicken, beef or turkey. We both chose chicken and it was to die for - very tender with a great choice...of gravies. There was a good salad bar as well, and all for only $15 each. Staff were friendly - we would definitely return. It appears from the information at our motel that the Club is not open on Sundays.More

Nothing like a big juicy steak from this place. The steak was so big, there was no space left for much else. The salad bar was fresh and excellent. Schnitzel night is Thursday, not to be missed too.

Viisited just for an overnight stay nearby. Saw reviews for this and decided to eat there. Good menu and the food was delicious. My husband ordered the tournados of beef and two quite large piece of steak arrived. Asked for medium rare, and medium rare...steak arrived. I had the pasta with chicken, this was a generous service, probably a bit big for me, but I managed it. All came with salad bar and bread. Excellent value and a good place for dinner if you’re passing through.More
