Having searched long and hard for a decent Indian restaurant in Townsville, we have finally come up trumps. Clearly thriving, sometimes hard to get a table, great food. Could expand a bit with the seating and add a home delivery service, but I think it's early days yet.

Approximate cost: $20.00

Slow service, bar staff disinterested, nice food and good menu selection but overpriced. Usually disturbing the neighbourhood atmosphere with acoustic bands butchering backpacker songs.

Approximate cost: $40.00

Long queues, inaudible announcements when food ready, overpriced, my food was given to the wrong customer without forthcoming apology. Really resting on its laurels without any competition in the area for fish and chips.

Approximate cost: $18

Resting on its laurels as the only fish and chip shop on the strand. Service is slow and frustrating at times.

Approximate cost: $18
