A pleasant experience in this little restaurant in Darra. The food that we ordered were very tasty and genuinely made for the Indian tastebud and not westernised.Try the Butter Chicken dosa, Chicken 65 biryani, Channa Bhatura/Puri and Kottu Roti Chicken....all these were really good.Also..the lamb rolls and samosas were also pretty nice.

Superb - we ordered 6 takeaway curries for a small party and the food was very very good. The sauces are very subtle and tasty.One of the curries was Goat Curry. Goat curry usually comes with a few large bones. It was sublime. Don't let the bones put you off, they add to the taste if anything.We've been out on Brisbane's west side for a couple of years now and had many Indian meals in that time but I can't think of better food - maybe Taste of India at Toowong comes close.Do yourselves a favour and try this place!

Best curry I’ve ever had!I see that any review that is less than 5 stars is because of either the price or the wait time.. this is a small local restaurant who clearly make these meals from scratch with fresh veggies, herbs and spices and the meat never taste like cheap of cuts - I think this place is well worth its price and I’ve never had to wait too long. Highly recommend

This place has great authentic Sri Lankan and Indian food. Vegetarian dishes are highly recommended. This place has been around for some time. It had a ownership change and had it's lows until it changed hands again recently. The current owners have done a great job restoring the authenticity and with good service. Very good prices and they have a regular following of customers. Take away was very busy from regulars. This is a hidden gem for Indian and authentic Sri Lankan.

Had a brunch at Shanti with my wife on 4th June 2023. I had a masala dosa while my wife had a plain dosa from the Sri Lankan weekend fare. Both the dosas were crisp and papery and the sambol dips and the sambar went well with the dosas. The potato filling in the masala dosa was spicy and quite tasty.Our beverage was chai tea which had a unique taste of spices to complement our meal.As we were the first customers that Sunday morning, the service was prompt. The background instrumental music comprised soothing familiar melodies from the 1960s and 1970s.Overall, it was a very pleasant and enjoyable brunch. We bought a few take-away vadas which went well with our afternoon tea at home.

I do quite like the food here. I normally get a malai kofta or butter paneer. Good flavours, fairly generous with paneer. But wow they are VERY over priced. For the amount you get, it's a ridiculous price tag and rice isn't included with ANYTHING.Also.. BEWARE, if you order directly online via their website, the earliest time it advises you can pick up is 10.30am. If you show up, as I did, at this time.. you will be told that they OPEN at 10.30am and you'll have to wait a half hour for food. No apologies, no free rice or anything for your trouble. I did ask for rice to be thrown in free of charge, which they agreed to, but then charged me for anyway...SHANTI INDO-LANKAN you need to CHANGE your website to have your pick up times actually be correct.And to anyone out there reading this..there is a REAL OPPORTUNITY to open a successful indian restaurant in this area because this place charges too much and the other place in Jindalee is terrible quality. If you charge reasonable prices and can make halfway decent indian food, you will do VERY well for yourself in the western suburbs (especially given that rising cost of living is making people more selective and price-conscious when choosing to buy take away food) and probably put both these places out of business.

Coconut rice had more onion flavour than coconut.Butter chicken was not worth a chicken dying for.Prices make the government taxes look good.

Was there on mother's day sunday, placed order at 5.50pm over the counter, got charged extra 10 cents for card payment. they never advise about it. after payment went through, the server said the wait for my takeaway order will be 30 mins. there was one other couple inside the restaurant. my food came only after 40 minutes. i told the server i was unhappy being told 30 mins wait time. she said as you can see we are very busy". Beware for all the online and phone call orders while waiting for your meals in store
