Came across this place on our trip to Brisbane. Flavoursome and well made dishes that are fresh and not the standard Indian fare you get at a lot of Indian restaurants overseas. Their biryani is awesome. And their tender coconut payasam is an absolute delight to finish off with. The lady serving us was great with her service and care. If you are in Brisbane try them out. You’ll love the food and service.and yes… lots of vegetarian options .

Came here after hearing a lot about this place, and it honestly lived up to the hype. The food is proper South Indian / Chettinad style bold flavours, good spice, and everything tastes freshly cooked. The Chicken Chukka, goat curry, butter chicken, biryani and seafood were all excellent. Nothing felt heavy or bland, and every dish had its own flavour instead of tasting the same. Portions are generous and it’s great value, especially if you’re sharing with friends or family. We’ve done both dine-in and takeaway, and the quality has been consistent every time. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and genuine. It’s a nice place to sit, eat well, and actually enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Would definitely go back one of the better Indian meals I’ve had in Brisbane.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Kolapasi! Kolapasi truly deserves every one of these five stars! From the moment I walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and professional—easily some of the best hospitality I’ve experienced. The team went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Now the food… WOW! The biryani was on another level—fragrant, flavour-packed, perfectly cooked rice, and every bite felt like pure comfort and luxury. Hands down the best biryani in town. And the butter chicken? Smooth, rich, creamy, and bursting with flavour. It strikes the perfect balance—indulgent but not overwhelming. Easily the best butter chicken I’ve ever had.

We had biriyani from the restaurant today and it was absolutely delicious! The flavour, aroma, and portion size were perfect. A special shout-out to Vaibhav for his amazing service. He was very friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed. His customer service truly made our experience even better.

Chef Mike has been working overtime!! Not a sound came from the kitchen except the beeps of the microwave. Poor hygiene, poor quality & quantity and such high prices for what? Meals served from paper plates and wooden spoons. Found two different hairs in two different dishes- eyelash in the butter chicken and head hair in the biryani. For $80 I spent the first half of my meal thinking “not bad for microwaved food” and the other half hoping that any stringy texture wasn’t another hair.
