Having dined here many times in the past we chose LIP again without looking at reviews. Big mistake. As recent reviews suggest, the meals were overpriced, small and terribly bland - even after asking for medium-hot chili. Staff were very young and clearly undertrained as the boy taking our order got it wrong several times and even after correction, the order was still incorrect and incomplete. Madras and Butter Chicken tasted the same and the chicken thigh was so fatty and sinewy that it was inedible so I paid $24 for bland sauce and rice. All up $74 for 2 without alcohol and walked away hungry with a terrible taste in our mouths. Never again. Not sure if they’ve recently changed hands or what but it’s nothing like it used to be. Didn’t even bother giving feedback on the night as I wasn’t even asked if I enjoyed the meal. Perhaps they knew what the answer would be.

The young man who served was unbelievable. We had a large group and he took the order correctly and was super helpful. Super impressed with him and how well he handled everything.

The service in the place is absolutely disgusting.We ordered an entree, which came out within about 10 mins. We then waiting 40 minutes for our mains, we asked a young male server who said he would find out. He never returned. My partner went to ask as it had now been over an hour since we had our entree, he was told by the same waiter that the kitchen were making the food, and asked my partner what he wanted him to do about it. The same waiter then returned to our table, and very rudely said he would make our entree himself for us. We explained that we already had our entree and that we were waiting for our main, 1 curry and 2 Naan breads. He left and came back and very rudely informed us that he didn’t know how long our food would be, but that it would be a while, so if we wanted to leave we should.I’m utterly shocked at how the waiter (what seemed a 15 year old boy) spoke to us and will never be back.

Visiting from Melbourne. First time trying this restaurant and am super glad I did. We were all quite hungry so didn't manage to get photos, but food sizes were great - I ended up getting the rest takeaway!I ordered the Chicken Shahi (Mild) with a mango lassi drink, papadums and naan (garlic, as well as spinach & cheese). Perfect combo.The other two ordered Butter Chicken (Hot) and a Vegetable Dahl (Mild). The Vegetable Dahl must've had some hot spices, because despite being mild, it was still very hot. The Butter Chicken was very much enjoyed, but according to my brother, he would've preferred the Indian Hot level of heat.Would highly recommend and would love to visit again in future when I return to QLD.Thanks to the staff for presenting great dishes to us, very much appreciated!

We have dined here twice since Christmas and unfortunately have nothing good to say.Prior to the first instance we were turned away with the excuse we are fully booked. It was prior to 6.30 and only 2 tables occupied. Upon questioning they were short of staff and could not handle taking on more tables. This next time we were offered a table but needed to understand that meals could be a while because again..we are short of staff. Not our problem. The staff they did have were very young and untrained. They were spoken to very loudly, aggressively and very unprofessionally by the front desk person. There website reads “Be welcomed by our friendly, enthusiastic staff”. I guess they must have had the night off.The food was certainly not up to the standard we had expected as we had eaten there many times. The Naan bread was rather like flat bread, reheated and no flavour. Because of the wait and the lack of staff one might wonder if the food was being prepared at their sister restaurant at Wellington Pt and delivered over.It will be a long time before we go back. We had made a reservation for a birthday celebration later in the week but quickly cancelled that. Shame shame shame. Pick up your act.

We have been loyal customers for over 30 years but I have to say lately and especially tonight I’m really really disappointed. Had take away which was mainly sauce and no meat. Rethinking where I buy my Indian takeaway.

Puzzled that this place is ranked 4.2 stars when there are recently so many 1 star reviews. When we arrived it was full of people, so looked like a really popular venue, so we did not deep dive into the reviews. The peshwari nan was a dry nan with a thin layer of pulverised fruit - very disappointing. The curry was filled out with a pack of frozen vegetables. I can see other reviewers have experienced the 'frozen vegetable' trick too. Shall never eat here again.All staff were friendly, and the service was relatively fast.

We used to really like this restaurant. The food was nice and fresh and while not the cheapest, it’s quality could justify the price. The last two times we went there I have been disappointed. Especially with the naan bread which is what our kids loved. It doesn’t really taste freshly made like it used to taste but possibly reheated. I’m not sure but it’s not the same! Unfortunately I think we will not go back at this stage as even the kids who love Indian left heaps which ended up in the bin.

Always great flavoursome food. Sadly, as dine in clients, the table service was very slow this visit. Ordered the banquet for 4 guests, didn't get the pappadums, and a very long wait between courses.

This is another loyal longstanding customer who has been going to this restaurant for 20 plus year and now unfortunately for the last time tonight. The food used to be so good but something has changed in the last couple of months. Very disappointing as we treasured having takeaway from this place, once a week for as long as I can remember. Food no longer tastes fresh, wait staff are all young juniors who are not ready for the responsibility given to them. Such a shame.
