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.

We have travelled the world including India and our food didn't disappoint. All food was fresh, hot and full of flavour. The stand out was the Briyani Rice - best I have had - just a mouthful of flavours. BYO wine too which I like. The atmosphere is excellent. Service was good but they just had too many patrons. We waited a long time towards the end for our food - and we noticed others had too. Overall we will definitely go back and if the service is a little quicker it will be a regular for us.

Great Restaurant, visited many times and was always pleased with the food. Very kind waiters and waitresses and gave me a free drink one time too, only reason why this establishment Was not rated 5 stars was of the wait time for food. But that isn’t a massive problem if your not starving and are with friends. Honestly a great place will alway be an amazing restaurant in my case.

We wanted to have Indian to celebrate Diwali. Despite many restaurants being closed until 5pm on a Sunday?! Randhawa's was open, loca,l had good reviews and promised to be the best Indian on the Gold Coast. It's an elegant restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, with an upper level with a view of Surfer's Paradise. We began with onion bhaji that was beautifully presented with delicious sides of mint sauce and tamarind chutney. Highly recommended. I was spoiled for vegetarian options with three pages of mains to chose from! I had the paneer butter masala - cottage cheese chunks cooked in a rich and creamy Masada base with capsicums, onions and fresh herbs finished with cream. Sooooo flavourful with fresh ingredients and no added sugar made it a delicious, yet light meal. Dad had the lamb roganjosh - a perfect blend of spiced curry, best suited with lamb - they were right, Dad described the meal as splendid! They are BYO and licensed, with attentive service, Neha was excellent. All in all, highly recommended!

it was a special date night, we told the waitress about the nut allergy, but the food had crushed but all over it, when we complained they only gave a plain bowl of rice and still charged us for the dish. the dish was nearly 18$ while bowl of rice was like 2-3$?! we became vip member through online to receive discount but it was not honored, although we have applied for it before arriving at the restaurant. service was slow, it was loud, we did not enjoy our time there, overly priced and food quality was disappointing. never go there again.

We visited after it was recommended by a friend but ended up a disappointment. The vibe and decor is really good but it all goes downhill as soon as the food arrives. We were a group of four and ordered plenty of food with variety but it seems the management hasn’t invested anything in the kitchen staff and almost everything elsewhere. Entrees were tasteless, first time in about 500 Indian restaurants that I have visited. Main course - no texture and very ordinary taste. 3 main dishes all below average. Only good part was plain rice and naans, which doesn’t really need much of a skilled chef to make, we didn’t have the courage to order dessert after this. Unfortunately we had a lot of food leftover which is something I really hate but could do anything with what was served.

My wife and I travel the world, including trips to India. Our favorite meal out is Indian food, so I can confidently say we know a thing or two about good quality Indian food. Our #1 favorite dish we always order is Malai Kofta. The dish we received was so sickly sweet, we ended up not eating any of the sauce. The chai we ordered tasted even weirder, nothing close to real chai. The Palak Paneer was ordinary. When respectfully giving some feedback after the waitress asked how was our dish, the waitress became defensive, insisting that as we ordered the milder version, they have to put extra sugar into the dish...when it was obvious we were not convinced by her explanation, she got the manager on the phone, who doubled down on this ridiculous excuse, basically saying we should of ordered the medium dish if we did not want it so sweet. Unfortunately the whole experience left a bad taste in our mouth.

Visited for a works Christmas function, fantastic range of dishes and flavours where staff are happy to ask the kitchen to make dishes as hot or mild as you like. Wide variety and of those tried, very tasty. Friendly efficient team who all worked hard to make dinner an enjoyable event.

Last night was just the worst dining experience my wife and I have had. When we were being seated we were advised to order as soon as possible as they were short staffed. We did. The Corona was cold which was a good start. Ordered Coconut prawns and samosas for starters. No sign of any coconut on the prawns, they were just really deep fried but the samosas were ok. Main course was the goat curry, the fish curry and coconut rice. The goat curry was almost devoid of meat, basically bone and gristle. The rice was over cooked and my wife found a hair on her plate under the rice. As we’d been waiting well over an hour for the mains to arrive we were hungry and kept on. When my wife found some gristly meat in the fish that was it. We called the waitress over and pointed out what we were unhappy with. She disappeared with the food and then came back several minutes later after speaking to the kitchen and the restaurant’s owner/operator in India. The fish was apparently fresh and the hair likely from the goat. We were offered a 20% discount on the bill. Pointed out that the goat was meatless and the hair had been in the rice. I was prepared to pay for the beers and the entrées. Waitress disappeared again to ring India. It was ridiculous haggling over the bill but we waited as I felt obliged to pay for the beer and entrees. In the end (and in order to leave and get the hell out as it was 2 hours now since we’d arrived) we paid for the beer and entrees and received 20% off the goat dish. Appalling. I’ve never sent food back at a restaurant before. I’ve been to this restaurant once before and had recommended it to friends. I won’t be back and we won’t be making any more recommendations.

Dear Gordon, It's a pity that you did not enjoy your dinner that night. Please accept our sincere apologies if the goat curry was not up to the standard that night and that the discount was not enough to compensate you for the dissatisfaction. We will follow it up with our kitchen team.

I am a big foodie and my family have visited this place very frequently and almost all the time for special occasions. Last night 23rd Feb on my wife's birthday we piratically had the worst experience on service and food. 1) Cocktails were late by 45 mins. My wife and mother ordered cocktails and they took 45mins while the rest of us were waiting to cheers with our beer and wine. The reason we are understaffed. 2) Service - the waiter literally interrupted my brother talking to say you want anything else we will be closing in 50mins. No even a excuse me or let the person finish his chat. Basic manners missing at this place. 3) Food was terrible - We orders about 8 items and the with the exception of the mint chutney there was nothing worth a damn. Food was super sweet, no flavour and there are the things we have liked in the past like butter chicken, kadai chicken. etc even the veg was poor to say the least. There are many good restaurants that loose sight when they stop caring for customers and Randhawa`s has achieved that feet. Even after i sharing my problems all i was told is i will pass it on. my recommendation - dont go to this place

We arrived early and would have been one of the first tables to order on a Saturday night. The restaurant did get very busy very quickly but it seemed like nobody was getting served any food. After waiting almost 2 hours and still no sign of our food we paid for our drinks and left. We were the second table to leave that night. The restaurant seems to prioritise takeaway meals at the expense of the customers dining in. Perhaps we should have ordered via a delivery app and picked it up! Sadly this was our second bad experience at this restaurant and it is a shame because the food is very good

It was late on a Sat night and we called in to see if we could get a table. They were busy but in less than 5 mins we were seated, orders taken quickly and drinks quite quick. Meal followed soon after and as usual all tasted yummy. Staff were apologetic that we waited a few mins to be seated 😊. I pointed out we were latecomers with no reservation, so they didnt need to apologize! They couldnt have been more accommodating. Very good service.

Food was expensive compared to other restaurants and not tasty enough. We were forced to give a 5 star review before we could even pay for our meal and they checked it twice to make sure we did it, felt like we were in school. Reviews should be a person’s will. Most reviews seems like people have been forced to do so, as they are 1 or 2 words only. A person reviews if they like or dislike and it will definitely be more than one word. Staff was being micromanaged and yelled at as you can see and hear everything the way the seating is in the restaurant. I have noticed that the restaurant doesn’t accept honest feedback, as they think they are best Indian food on the coast. In this case, may be that’s the only food they have tried, because there are plenty of other restaurants that are so much better. I would not be back as it was an exhausting experience.

Best Indian on the Gold Coast! It was quite busy but they fitted us in at short notice. Fod was amazing, we ordered way too much (kids had requested leftovers), good portion sizes, and we enjoyed every dish. Great service too, everyone was really friendly and attentive.

To start with, what an amazing ambience and wonderful service. Appreciate the efforts of everyone involved from order taking to bringing us drinks and the chef's :) you'll were so nice last night and thank you for handling such a huge group so patiently and calmly :D I am a vegetarian and honestly I've not had good food experience in any of the other Indian restaurants on the Gold Coast (been 4 years now), but Randhawa's outdone my thoughts and literally changed it over night. Must say, whatever we ordered on the table, nothing had gone to waste and what delicious food. Thank you so much everyone, you all were so amazing and so nice. Will definitely come again :)

Forget the rest, this is the best. High quality meats with full flavor curries and the right level of spice, plus excellent service and we can bring our favourite wine. And as a VIP member (joined online), we get 10% discount. Highly recommended.
