The Turban

EDIT: This place is the gift that keeps on giving! Had the buffet with my brothers and wife, while watching a beautiful sunset. Great food and amazing staff.

My wife and I were looking a nice place to have a sit down dinner on New Year’s Day and it was pretty hard to say the least! Luckily I remembered our local Indian takeaway had a nice interior set up (I pick up our orders from time to time and remembered it was always very presentable), after a quick call to check they were serving in house we showed up and got a nice booth table.

The food was amazing! We were served by the owner Tilak and I asked him to give us his most recommended dishes. After a quick discussion on our spice levels he returned with 2 curries and some side dishes. The goat was absolutely amazing, and of course their butter chicken was one of there most ordered (and one of the best I’ve had).

I would highly recommend this place for anyone who loves a good sit down dinner, it’s really affordable and the service is great. I’ll be back to try the buffet!

The best authentic Indian restaurant in town. The service is next level and the chef / owner is amazing! We love coming here and the food never disappoints.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Perth. Great ambience, excellent service and amazing food. The manager/owner Tilak was very warm and hospitable and even went out of his way to throw in a complimentary Butter Chicken. We drove 40 minutes from where we live, and it was totally worth it. A great fine dining experience for a special occasion or even to have a nice dining experience.

My husband and I were quite skeptical at first about having dinner here after reading some of the negative reviews. We've just moved from interstate and new to the area. Since this is the only Indian restaurant closest to us, my husband decided to give it a go. We know too well that bad reviews online can be biased, misleading and often time written by bored trolls/competitors. As a couple who travels across Australia and the world to enjoy good food, we know taste is subjective and we won't know for certain until we try. Glad we gave it a try!

The ambience of this restaurant is lovely, with dim lights and colour scheme that give off a fine dining vibe. The table was already set up, which is brilliant. It was a quiet Tuesday evening but there were a few other couples and family enjoying their meal. A good sign to see.

We ordered Butter Chicken, Malai Kofta, Rice and Butter Naan. Everything served was delicious and very generous in quantity. Their pricetag may be slightly higher than some of their competitors, but it's justifiable considering the portion and quality. Quality comes with a price, no doubt. No complaints whatsoever.

We gave specific instructions on how we preferred our naan and we are so delighted to report that the server and chef took our request into consideration, not once but twice. Yup, even though the naan serving was generous, with how delicious it tasted, we had to go in for another one!

My husband is an exceptionally fussy eater. He throws away food if it's not up to his standard. He's been in the culinary scene himself, so he does set an unusually high standard when it comes to the food served to him. This evening, he licked the gravy clean off both the bowls - a sign that the food was truly tasty.

One of the gentleman who served us this evening, a bald guy in black top, (silly and rude of us to not get his name) brought us something complimentary from the kitchen while waiting for our mains to be served. This was truly a kind gesture although it was uncessary as we did not have to wait long for the mains to come. But a gesture that certainly did not go unnoticed and very much appreciated. It's these little things that sets your average Indian restaurant apart from one that has class. Indian restaurants are mostly notorious for trying to rip you off or short change you. But The Turban is an exception. They do go above and beyond to serve you the food you get on your table. This is coming from a couple who has tried various Indian restaurants across Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Singapore, India, Hong Kong, Indonesia and many other countries. If they keep up this service and consistency, I am sure they will have a solid few more decades ahead of them.

Our first trip but certainly not our last. Cheers to the lovely lady in the black top who served us with a huge smile on her face. Contrary to what one of the other reviewer said, I think they treat you just as nicely regardless you are a regular or a newbie.

Very good Indian restaurant, reasonable price and good food. Will always come back.

Everything was great about this experience. Really a great restaurant and the lady front of house was always happy to help. Rich- filling flavour in our drinks/ meals and dessert. Will hope you come here

We visited the Turban yesterday and enjoyed a very pleasant dinner. We live nearby and ordered Uber Eats with them, loved the food and wanted to visit them in person. Food was delicious and hospitality was welcoming. Owner even offered us a complimentary entree which was tasty. Would recommend this place for a good time and a fulfilling dinner. Recommendations: Mock meat masala / Lamb Korma and Palak paneer😄

Absolutely best Indian also great atmosphere, very friendly staff especially from Matilda our waitress, will definitely be back regularly
It was a great dining experience, thank you and see you again soon , Bert and Sue

The food was amazing and the servers were so friendly. Will definitely be coming back here for more, easily the best Indian restaurant in Perth.

The service was amazing and made the experience so special. The food is always beautiful and my family and I love coming here regularly! So happy to support this gorgeous little spot.

Absolutely love this place. Tastiest Indian around. I come here often and the food is always delicious and service fantastic. My personal favourite is their delicious Tikka Masala and garlic Naan.

We had a lovely buffet at the Turban
They had a good variety of dishes
Starters were so tasty
Tandoori chicken was tender and tasty.
Their curries were very good especially goat and fish curries tasted yummy.
Likewise their veg starters were good too. Loved their Tandoori Mushroom.
And finished with four desert.
Overall Best buffet tasted so far.

Admittedly I haven’t been in years however, I returned this evening and they STILL do the BEST Korma a fellow English person could ask for!!

I came for my brothers birthday, they decorated the table and went above and beyond with their service. Including items into the buffet as extra when they didn’t need too.

Absolutely amazing food & service. I’ll be back sooner than I have been. Thank you guys - you did an incredible job and made us all feel so welcome xxxx

My Favourite Restaurant, great selection of food. Friendly service and reasonable price.

Tonight’s buffet was outstanding and definitely a dinner to remember. The blonde Waitress who served us was amazing at her job and super friendly, i would highly recommend eating at this venue, and i will definitely be coming back.

We order from here regularly and always so satisfied. This time in particular, our Uber driver delivered to the wrong address, so we re-ordered the exact same items immediately. We received a call from The Turban to confirm and thankfully our order was delivered with an additional little dessert which we really appreciated 🙏 thank you!

Normally I don't do reviews but after seeing some of the unfair and biased reviews I could not keep my fingers still.
Have been coming here for the last 20+ years and still the best consistent butter chicken in Perth, smooth and tender.
Add to that is great friendly customer service from the wait staff, chef and the owner himself.
For the people who just gave less than two stars, go behind the doors of any hospitality venue and see for yourself how hard work it is. Also, keep in mind that small businesses are the heart of an economy giving employment to many.
For any business reviews, I suggest first having a chat with the management and expressing your concerns before becoming keyboard worriers on Google.

The Turban made my mum’s birthday extra special! They were so thoughtful with all of our requests and really made the night feel awesome.

The buffet was absolutely delicious and the ambience wonderful too. All around great restaurant.

The Turban has been my favourite Indian restaurant in Perth for a few years. I had the buffet last night and not sure how they did it but nearly every dish approached perfection. Amazing food!!!

Great place, great food, great prices, very friendly staff.
