One of the best takeaway shop in Brisbane! Went there on a Tuesday night and was pleasantly surprised to find the prices cheap and the food very amazing especially the crispy pork belly and green curry chicken. Ordered kimchi pork belly soup and 2 curries and was left with enough for a lunch the next day.

We love coming here because it's a great value for your money and they have plenty of food selections. It's also very handy as it is close to cinemas, shopping and fun and games for kids.

Food isn't that great do not order the sweet and sour chicken. It doesn't even taste like chicken or look it. The chicken omelette is delicious and is definitely chicken. Prices are great and cheap delivery. Chicken doesn't look real in the fried rice either. Mongolian lamb is spicy but delicious and fresh, mongolian beef is also just as good. Prawn crips are always fantastic.

I chose Jade Buddha for my birthday dinner because of it's location overlooking the Brisbane River and because of it's reputation for great food. The waitress was very friendly and efficient, the view magnificent and the food was to die for. We all ordered a different main course and we all raved how good our meal was.

Two of us experienced a different dessert and I would have to say that the Seasonal Fruit in a Brandy Basket was divine, is one of the nicest desserts I have ever had. The only criticism would be the music from the Cove Bar out to the restaurant was too loud but being a Friday night I guess you can expect it to be a bit noisy but overall a wonderful night out with beautiful food. Thank you Jade Buddha!

Don't let the small-looking serves fool you, the food is flavoursome and authentic, not dumbed down to western tastes, and very filling. We had the Chicken Madras (mild yet full of flavour) the Kadahi Lamb (quite spicy-hot but not unpleasantly so) and neither was swimming in oil like you get at some restaurants. If you like a good curry that makes your sinuses run but doesn't burn the lining of your stomach, then this is pretty close to perfect.

The accompanying extras such as pappadums, aloo paratha bread and cucumber raita were fresh and complimented the curries perfectly. We also had the Kashmiri Pulao (saffron rice with nuts and sultanas) which was pretty standard but added colour to the meal.

My husband and I had lunch today and were really impressed. A great selection of fresh foods, something for everyone I would have thought. Desserts were a little bit of a let down on everything else (bit of "boxed cake" to it) but frankly, we were so full at that point it really didn't matter. Really enjoyed the little pot of chocolate mousse and the bread and butter pudding, the perfect finish. Also appreciated the readily available chilled water bottles for the table, served with a warm smile. Thanks guys! We'll be back!

I found the seafood buffet to be great value for money! There's a vast range of foods and the quality is great! I've been to the $50 seafood buffet somewhere else and the range was woeful! Broncos is so much better and so is the price.

I took a friend here last night, I wasn't expecting much since it was so cheap but was pleasantly surprised. The service was average, the indian girl had no idea what she was doing, couldn't understand us and someone else came back 5 minutes later to take our order.

The food was suprisingly great. The venue is quite nice as well, I really liked the chairs. Overall very good food and great value, I will definitely be going back.

Although we live on the Gold Coast, we dine at Asian Lily whenever we arrange a family get together in Brisbane. The food is really fresh and tasty and is extremely well priced. The service is always quick and friendly. We have dined at Asian Lily for many years as either small, medium or large groups and we have never been disappointed. Everyone we have eaten with has enjoyed it.

If you are looking for an enjoyable social dinner, This is not for you! After making my booking well over a month in advance and realising I had not received a confirmation call the day prior to my reservation, I called Jade Buddha to learn the girl hadn't written my booking down. "Luckily" they managed to fit us in though after I wish had gone elsewhere. They served us champagne glasses with lipstick Clearly visible on 2 of them.

The waitress didn't notice and poured the champagne, therefore, the champagne had to be replaced. We then ordered starters telling the waitress we wanted them to share with the table. With 5 people at our table you would think common sense would prevail and she would have offered us some direction on portions. She did not and the starters came with 3 servings per item, clearly not enough to share.

After pointing this out to the waitress she said 'Oh, well then your mains aren't going to be enough either' so we had to revise our main order. Finally at the end when we received our check there were Four added items that were from another table! The staff gave us the revised correct bill but offered no form of compensation and really didn't seem to care about the rotten experience they had given us.

I see my father once a year and I am so disappointed they tainted his visit this way. I will Never go back there and I warn anyone who is thinking of dining there, do not go there!

Service was great and location was convenient but I'm always weary about tourist spots and I should have stuck with my instincts. I ordered a breakfast which had Bacon, egg, spinach, mushroom, bubble n squeak and beans. It was like the food was out of a Gordon Ramsay nightmare episode. Apart from the beans which couldn't have been messed up as they were out of a can, I'm puzzled to what they did to the spinach and mushrooms to make them taste so bad. They must have been lying in a tray for a week or so in the kitchen.

I challenged the senior staff to eat some and he passed. The senior staff was kind enough to not charge us for the drinks but it didn't fix the problem of me being hungry because I couldn't eat the meal as it wasn't edible. I'm puzzled why senior staffs offer you another meal as the last thing I wanted was another plate of the same food.

An absolutely lovely evening with great food. Best butter chicken I have ever had. Service excellent. Very attentive but not overbearing. Portions were huge does justifies the Price to be "reasonable". It was nice when the chef himself came out to greet us and ask how our dinner was, If you're looking for a good authentic indian restaurant for a family night out, with good value and good service this is a must.

This is a terrific little gem hidden in the suburbs. The food is always fresh and the menu changes with the seasons. The service is always good, only on super busy nights has it ever slipped.

The modern take on Asian style food is fantastic. The flavours are always huge, fresh and punchy. They also are friendly to kids and serve a great kids meal, much better than the usual fried "chicken" nuggets and chips.

The service has always been good. We've been coming here for fours years and it's been consistently good. It's also not expensive for what you get. It is only slightly more expensive than the local greazy pasta and pizza places (both of which are exceedingly average!) and for a really lovely meal it's well worth it.

Both of our (very different) curries tasted exactly the same. That taste was of tomatoes and pretty much nothing else. I didn't think it was possible to get butter chicken wrong, but they managed. I've honestly had better butter chicken from a jar. And for $20 a curry, that's completely unacceptable. We had a 2 for 1 voucher (which they Very begrudgingly accepted) and we were Still unhappy with the price!

The service was hilariously inept. They barely said a word of greeting or thanks upon arriving and leaving. When we went to pay they stared at us expectantly, without saying a word for literally 10 seconds. Time passed. It was awkward.

In short, we've never been to a more hilariously inadequate restaurant. We had been here before under the old management and loved it, and were very disappointed with the new management's...everything. We won't be going back.

Response from Management:
Dear Customer,

I guess you have REVIEWED THE wrong restaurant,

I used to own "Punjabi By Nature International at 102 latrobe Tce Paddington" (old management-Premish) I was the chef as well.

I have sold the restaurant RESTAURANT at Paddington and moved to ASHGROVE, this listing is for Punjabi By Nature Indian restaurant in Ashgrove.

1. Punjabi By Nature Indian Restaurant HAS NO BRANCHES EXCEPT AT 10 STEWART ROAD AT ASHGROVE.

I would say please remove this review as this is not right. as it is NOT THE RESTAURANT YOU HAD FOOD AT.

Regards

Premish Verma
owner Punjabi by nature Indian Restaurant ONLY AT Ashgrove

Wong idea... Service was appalling. After waiting amlmost 40 minutes for a simple take away meal, I found the shop assistant to be extremely disgruntled and rude! Once I arrived home I found that only half of what I paid for was there, and the food that I had recieved was not only half cooked but cold. When I took the food back to the shop and showed them, the half raw chicken they refused to reconise my complaint and ignored me. My final issue was with the lack of parking, I had to park on the street almost 5 minutes walk from the shop. My advice to all is to steer clear!
