Mehmaan Indian Cuisine - Food (NSW)

5 /5 Divya Rao: Food was good. The place is very quiet, making it perfect for a peaceful dine-in experience. They have a lot of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, and my kids really enjoyed their food. The only small issue for me was the biryani — the rice portion felt a bit less while the pieces and masala were more. Apart from that, everything else was really good and we had a pleasant experience.

1 /5 N G: Review: Disappointed with today’s experience I’ve been a regular customer at your restaurant — both for takeaway and dine-in — and have often recommended it to my friends. Today, I brought two friends (who aren’t from an Indian background) for your Sunday buffet because I’ve always enjoyed your food. My friends chose the buffet, but since I’m vegetarian and didn’t see the dishes I usually like, I ordered a paneer tikka instead. Normally, paneer tikka comes with some sliced onions and mint sauce — even just a few onion rings. However, today there were no onions and the mint sauce was an artificially coloured yogurt that had no real flavour. When I politely asked the young girl serving us (who was lovely and very polite) if I could please have some normal mint sauce — like the one that came with my friend’s poppadums — she told me, “No, we can’t give that one, it’s finished.” This was surprising, especially since it was only 12:30 pm. I then asked if I could at least have a few onions, as that’s normally included. She checked and came back to say, “We’ve changed the menu; it’s now achari paneer and onions are charged separately.” I wasn’t asking for anything free — I simply expected what’s usually served with the dish, or at least a reasonable explanation. Another staff member, who seemed more senior, later came and asked if they could change my dish, which I appreciated, but it wasn’t about that. It was just about something as simple as a few onions and proper mint chutney. It’s not about the cost; it’s about principle and consistency. I’ve always supported your restaurant and even brought new customers with me today, but I left feeling disappointed over something so small that could have been handled better. Please don’t take this out on the young waitress — she was polite and only following what she’s been told. But as a loyal customer, I truly hope you’ll take this feedback seriously. Unfortunately, after today’s experience, I don’t think I’ll be returning, and you’ve lost a few regulars. (Attaching a photo of the “mint sauce” for your reference.)

5 /5 Preet Pannu: Me and my family had amazing dining experience at Mehmaan Indian Cuisine. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavourful and beautifully presented. The Atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting. Highly recommend the Mehmaan Indian Cuisine. I will definitely be coming back soon.

4 /5 Mithun Purushotham: Star rating : 4.3 Great location Great ambience suits family and friends gathering. Corporate is fine too . Spacious and clean Neat and clean staff. Service was good. Plenty of parking Pricing - on par. $85 for 3ppl. Food was great. Ordered chilli Chicken/kadai chicken/garlic nan & peas pulav & chicken biryani. The biryani - was terrible. I was just trying it as I wasnt expecting it to be good either. Its impossible to get a good biryani in Australia. Will I recommend to family and friends -; definitely yes. Areas of improvement - reduce the wait time. The food took longer than usual. I understand they have online orders and pickup etc. however in house guest shouldnt be waiting for too long. Timely update can reduce the impact on experience. Response to my review - not required.

4 /5 Ari Kagan: The food is top-notch 5/5, truly good, with unique and generous spicing. BUT the customer service and integrity are dubious, bordering on appalling. Ive placed an online order at 5:26pm, estimated pick up was reconfirmed 6:06pm. I was at the restaurant at 6:08pm, learning that they had just started to prepare the order. Despite clear confirmation by their system by email. I have a family event timed with hungry people at home, waiting for the food, drove to pick up as quick as possible, and had to wait till 6:30pm on the street, until the last order component was out for delivery. Had I known the timing I could have made different choices, either with my order, or with my time, or with both. Utter disrespect to timing, which is one of the basic components of any customer promise is disappointing, and stands in sharp contrast to the quality of the food, which was genuinely good, even excellent. Food 5/5 Service 2/5 Pick up.
