Time for an Indian fiesta with your best amigos.
WHERE // IndiMex, 401 Logan Rd, Greenslopes
As the name suggests, IndiMex is a restaurant serving up the unique fusion of Indian and Mexican cuisine. Having visited once previously, we were invited back to sample some more of their tasty dishes. The atmosphere of IndiMex leans towards the Mexican side, with brightly coloured murals and canvases adorning the walls. It has a really great vibe with an open kitchen that sporadically lights up with flames, releasing unmistakbly Indian spiced aromas.

WHAT // We got to sample quite a few dishes from IndiMex - as follows!
Chimosa - little deep fried bundles of goodness, filled with beans and potatoes. These were crunchy and flavoursome.
The Three Amigos - Mexican salsa, guacamole, and daal makhani. The salsa definitely had a kick to it! In the background are a frozen strawberry margarita and sangria, which were both very sweet.
Filete con Mariscos en Salsa de Ajo Pimienta Crema - put more simply, surf and turf. This dish didn't stand out to me as particularly Mexican or Indian, but that didn't stop it from being delicious. The steak was cooked beautifully and was very juicy. I particularly enjoyed the tender white fish in the seafood mix. The garlic cream sauce was scrumptious - I was using the fries to scrape up every last drop!
Chimichanga (beef) - You can choose what meat goes in your chimichanga. They certainly don't scrimp on the meat in these golden parcels, and it was incredibly filling. My friend commented that the rice was a bit looser and drier than what suited her.
Gulab jamun - This Indian dessert is made of milk proteins baked into a cake-like consistency, soaked in a sugar syrup flavoured with rosewater and cardamom. I was surprised to enjoy these as I'm not usually one for spices in desserts, but the flavour was very pleasant and not too strong.
Brownie - This looked amazing on the plate and was huge (about 10x10cm), but proved to be the only unfinished dish of the night. It wasn't as dense as brownies should be, with the taste and consistency of packet mix cake.

Beef enchilada - Again, huge serving. No complaints about this one!
VERDICT // IndiMex is a great local restaurant with a great vibe, tasty food and a range of drinks. The portions are generous as well. Both the Mexican and Indian food are done well, so I can definitely see myself returning.
