Absolutely ridiculous that food can taste this good. I am beyond happy with the recommendation from the young woman who served me. This is as close to a perfect Indian meal as I have had in a while, and anyone who follows my reviews knows I am always chasing the perfect Indian meal. Thank you thank you thank you. You have met ALL the needs tonight.

I visited Essence of Indya and was absolutely blown away! The food—OMG—was incredible. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was flawless, and what really stood out was the manager personally checking in to ask how everything was—such a warm and thoughtful gesture. The place itself was also aesthetically pleasing—beautiful decor, cozy ambiance, and a vibe that made the whole dining experience even better. I truly loved everything about my visit. Highly recommend!

My grandson (14 yo) were up from Adelaide to Ipswich and had our tea here Sunday night (27 July 2025). Food was absolutely beautiful, tender, full of flavour and extremely well priced. Drinks also very well priced and the staff were friendly and very helpful. We thoroughly recommend this restaurant. Thanks for having us.

I came here for the first time to get some take away dinner for me and my friends. The service was excellent and they made sure to get the order right, as I wanted heaps of different curries and had a large amount of food to order. I wouldn't mind to dine in some time, the place is clean and has nice seating. Happy to come back again! Thanks for feeding us, we were well nourished!

The food was excellent. The best Indian meal we have had in a long time. The environment is deceptive, I was not sure about the look of the restaurant but the whole experience was spot on. Great food and service with a good range of wine and beers.
