About Traditional India

Tucked away along Bowser Parade, Traditional India delivers richly spiced North Indian comfort food with genuine family warmth. The kitchen treats every order individually—spicing dishes up on request or swapping meats across specialties like turning chicken korma into tender mango lamb. Regulars gravitate toward the smoky tandoori chicken, rich butter chicken, and warm garlic naan fresh from the tandoor, washed down with a cold Kingfisher or a glass of salted lassi.

  • Custom Spice & Swaps: The kitchen happily dials in bespoke spice heat and accommodates protein swaps across traditional curry bases.
  • Generous Meal Deals: Generous set deals bundle mixed entrees, fresh naan, and curries for an easy weeknight spread.

  • Generous Multi-Course Meal Deals

    Generous fixed-price combo deals provide entrees, fresh naan, and multiple curries, delivering substantial value for casual weeknight dinners and takeaways.

    We had the $20 Each meal Deal that for the two of us consisted of a mixed entree, naan and two curries. This was enough for both of us with some to spare.

Most-loved curries and signature North Indian specialties

  • Butter Chicken

    I had the butter chicken and it was delicious; there was a smokey sort of bbq flavour about it which was amazing, and very tender.

    It's taken me nearly 20yrs to find lamb korma this good ! Authentic as anything.

  • Lamb Vindaloo

  • Prawn Goan Curry

    I always go back to the prawn Goan curry (my favourite), but honestly it’s so hard to pick just one dish because everything is that good.

Before you head over

Practical advice for getting the best experience at Traditional India in Sandgate.

  • Request Custom Spice and Protein Substitutions

    Kitchen staff readily adjust spice heat to taste and accommodate custom requests such as substituting proteins in curries.

  • Opt for the Multi-Course Meal Deal

    Pairs dining mid-week can take advantage of the generous fixed-price banquet deal including mixed entree, naan, and two curries.

  • Allow Ample Time for Freshly Cooked Courses

    Dishes are prepared fresh rather than batch-served, so diners should budget around an hour for a relaxed two-course sitting during peak times.
