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.

Improvement on previous owners.

Aug 2020 • none

We used to eat at this restaurant regularly years ago under previous owners until the food went downhill. This got taken over in January 2020 with new owners, so we thought we give it a try again. We ordered takeaway for 2 on a Thursday night. Service was good and the wait time only about 20 minutes. We ordered vegetable samosas, Chicken Jalfrezi, Beef Vindaloo, garlic naan, and rice. The samosa’s were different to any I have seen. Instead of a peaked triangle full of spiced vegetables, we received a flattened triangle about 1.5cm high filled with vegetables with very little spice at all. The pastry was soft except for the edges. Very disappointing. The Chicken Jalfrezi overall flavour was reasonable although more capsicum could have been used. The chicken was nice and tender. The Beef Vindaloo had a nice flavour, and a nice quantity of meat. The sauce was a bit of a letdown. While having flavour it was simply too thick and rich. This was unfortunate as it spoilt the dish. A runnier sauce and this would have been quite nice. The meat was lovely and tender. Could definitely had more chilli as it was not “Indian hot” like we ordered, quite mild. The garlic naan was more like a roti and quite doughy, especially the middle. Definitely not a typical naan bread. The rice was meant to have coriander, unfortunately there was none. Not to mention at $8 for 2 small containers very expensive. It did not seem a busy night, however some more attention to detail in ordering and food quality, should fix these errors. A definite improvement on previous owners. We would be prepared to eat there again and try some more of their dishes.

Had stop over in mansfield during visit to MT bullar. So visited this place its just a simple small family run restaurant. Had ordered chana masala butter chicken and plain naan. Tatse was ok but the naan was not the authentic cooked in tandoor it was cooked on pan basically. You dont have any other choice if u want to eat indian food .

Good food

Sept 2022 • none

I’m very glad I didn’t read the reviews before we went in , or we wouldn’t have gone! We went for lunch and had very good, and quick service. The Goa fish curry was beautiful, as was the Lamb Korma. We had medium, and really it was quite mild, but still spicy and tasty. The owner made us a jug of salt lassi at our request. The decor certainly could do with some attention, some nice Indian pictures to liven it up a bit would be nice, but we could not fault the food, other than the naan.

Worst Indian meal we have ever had

July 2020 • family

We ordered takeaway for our family spending $175 and expecting a decent meal. All the main meals were watered down, rice containers 3/4 filled (and they were small containers) and the chicken tikka entree was dried out. Lamb biryani $23.95 consisted of saffron rice with a couple of pieces of dried out lamb (pic attached) We were so disappointed after placing a large order. We won’t be going back. Avoid this place.

Authentic, delicious and fresh

Jan 2021 • friends

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at this restaurant we stumbled across in Mansfield. The staff were friendly and our meal came out quickly. Each item was fresh, hot, very tasty and we happily devoured our meal. Recommend chicken tikka, seekh kebabs, palak paneer, dual makani, rotis and naans. A must have is the home made dessert, kulfi, which is a churned ice cream. It was a yummy finish to our meal. Certainly a restaurant that we will visit again.

Worst Dine in experience so far in Australia

June 2022 • family

We visited this place on our way back to mount Buller. We got refused to serve as owner wasn’t happy with our meal selections. Owner claim to pay his worker $35-40 so we should buy excess food regardless of our choice. This team need some education for hospitality. I believe their position reviews are paid. Restaurant reply to each negative google reviews tells you all about their treatment to customers.

Great unauthentic Indian food

Dec 2021 • none

Awful. Service from start to finish was not good. Would give it a zero if I could. The food is very mediocre for the price and to make it even worse it is not even close to authentic. You should not call yourself an Indian restaurant. The owner was rude. Come here if you want attitude. He could not handle negative feedback. I was verbally abused and nearly attacked physically by the owner. His staff had to hold him back. Anyone with more than a one star review was paid for sure.

Delicious, Fresh Cuisine and a Friendly Staff

Mar 2020 • none

I can't say enough about the food. It was absolutely delicious. My wife grew up in India - she knows good Indian cuisine. She was very impressed with the cuisine - top notch - we highly recommend the Curry Garden. We'll be going back soon!

Home-style Indian food in Mansfield!

June 2020 • couples

We had such a delicious home-style meal at Curry Garden. A lovely family own this restaurant and make you feel welcome in every way. Their food is delicious, especially the goat curry and the traditional dessert, Gajar Ka Halwa. Thank you for your generous hospitality.

Fine Indian food

Dec 2020 • none

Just back from another great meal at the Curry Garden. We've enjoyed a number of their dishes on a few occasions now, and would definitely recommend them. I think Curry Garden is a good place for great Indian food.

Disappointing

Jan 2022 • couples

I specifically asked if there was a Tandoor in use. He said yes. No. I can tell the difference between a Tandoor cooked naan and a pan fried one. I asked if the chicken tikka would be cooked in a Tandoor. He said yes. No. But it may have been a while ago. certainly not today. The naan was pan fried. The lamb in the Bhuna Gosht was boiled to death and flavourless. It tasted like my curries do when I had frozen leftovers and defrosted for a next meal. I asked if I could have fresh green steamed vegetables. I asked him to confirm if they are actually fresh. He said yes. No. I was given frozen vegetables. The raita was stale as the cucumber was not freshly grated or crisp as it is supposed to be. A disappointing $75 of dinner.

Absolutely clueless

Aug 2022 • none

The onion bhajis and samosas were OK. Chicken in the Madras was inedible, I've never seen anything of this colour or texture before. My only explanation is they raided the local pet cemetery. Naan bread flat, overcooked and tasteless. Many menu items unavailable - not even any Papadoms!! Inside walls are painted breeze-block with no attempt at decoration whatsoever, let alone any Indian feel. Tables left uncleared from previous diners, rice all over the floor. It was August and despite there being two heaters, neither were operating, people sitting and eating with outdoor coats on. My question - how do they stay in business?

Just needs atmosphere- food is worth a visit

Nov 2021 • family

The food here is lovely and the service is fine but it’s all a little too simple. Wine list is pretty small and the decor dated. The food is great to eat in or take away - lamb dishes were best.

Please, leave your patience & taste-buds at home.....

Sept 2024 • friends

Quality - If I make a dish of daal with some salt and a bit of turmeric powder and send it on a date with the daal cooked at CURRY GARDEN, the daal I cooked at home will commit suicide. When I desire to taste the most tasteless daal on the planet, I would choose CURRY GARDEN. The same situation applies to all the dishes and breads we had on the table. I asked them the Daal Makhani, they gave us Daal Dukhani(the sad/bad one). Kadhai was missing from their Kadhai Paneer. Rotis like theirs cannot even rotate. I asked them to give Raita, they spread it (Not Literally). If you want to look at one of the smallest possible vessels that can be placed on a dinner table, I suggest you visit CURRY GARDEN and order RAITA. They sell chutney in the name of Raita, with one extra spoon of curd, and ask you to pay the price for being a fool who cannot bring their own RAITA. Quantity --> Like the way they hit the lowest point on Quality which makes them the top contender at THE WORST FOOD TO EAT CARNIVAL, the quantity seems to be in competition with what we find at CBD's restaurants. Before CURRY GARDEN, I had this notion that restaurants in the CITY are trying to match the quantity standards with their continuously decreasing quality standards. Then I met CURRY GARDEN which broke all my notions. They live 2 years in the future. They made a comment 2 years ago that 2 curries were indeed not enough for 4 people. So, unless half of your people are fasting, or have brought their own food, I would suggest trusting the owner's comment and ask for the same number of curries as the number of the people in the group. Hospitality --> If you are tired with the average hospitality of almost all the restaurant owners around the planet, come to CURRY GARDEN. The following conclusion is based on the CURRY GARDEN's owner's response provided to Indians' and Non-Indians' reviews, and the way SORRY dropped out of one of the staff's mouth when we complained to them, about them. It seems that they are confused between hospitality and hostility. They tend to remove the soul of hospitality, just like the taste they remove from the dine, when they serve or respond to someone who seems to be Indian origin. Conclusion – If you plan a get-away on a weekend, and incidentally choose Mansfield as your destination, and you decide to land on CURRY GARDEN when you feel hungry, make sure you wait for 2-3 hours and then ask them to give you the food. The urge to fill your stomach will over-ride the urge to taste the food. That’s the only way you will enjoy the dine at CURRY GARDEN.
