About Curry Express 🥗

Right off the Surfers Paradise tram line, coaster-weary day-trippers head straight to this counter for a rapid, restorative Indian feed. No heavy oil slicks here—just aromatic heat dished up in under five minutes. The standard play is the three-curry thali: pairing butter chicken against beef vindaloo and simmered chana masala, flanked by blistered garlic naan and rice. Big portions, zero fuss, and sidewalk tables catching the boulevard breeze.

  • Three-Curry Thali Platters: Customizable platters loading three curries—from tender beef vindaloo to creamy butter chicken—alongside rice, poppadoms, and chutneys.
  • Speedy Counter Service: Hot curries and fresh naan land at your table in under five minutes, perfect for recharging right beside the light rail.
  • Clean, Balanced Gravies: Aromatic, deeply spiced curries that skip the heavy grease without sacrificing rich, simmered depth.

  • 3-Curry Thali Plate

    I had a samosa to start and then the 3 curry thali plate with butter chicken, Chana masala and the beef vindaloo served with a large helping of rice. They were all very good, not oily, big portions and nicely spiced.
