Ind'O'Mex McLaren Vale,Best Indian and Mexican Cuisine in Mclaren Vale

We thought we'd try dinner here tonight. Sadly we wished we hadn't. We arrived around 8.15pm and noticed they closed at 9pm, & asked if we could still dine in, which was welcomed. The staff were friendly and we were supplied with water to the table, without asking, along with the menus, which was appreciated. When our meals weren't delivered around 8.50pm, we went and checked with the staff member to ask them if they'd prefer us to make it takeaway, as we knew they closed soon. They concurred that this was preferable. We then received our beer and mango lassi, as we further waited. The mango lasso was absolutely spot on and delicious, unfortunately this can't be said about the food we ordered: A. Butter Chicken - which, whilst the spice flavour was good and the chicken was super tender, it was super super sickly sweet. So sweet, I could only eat the chicken chunks. B. Nachos - whilst there was a generous serving of beef, it too was also weirdly sweet. There wasn't a lot of topping and further, for nachos, not enough tortilla chips. C. Beef Fajitas - I'm sad I didn't think to take a photo of this, they say a picture says a thousand words, and I think it would've been enough explanation! Fajitas to most people includes avibrant dish of capsicum, onion, meat, along with appropriate accompaniments including tortilla to wrap it up in. The 'fajita' supplied was a slab (again generous), of the sweet beef with cheese melted on top and little bit of onion. The accompanied tortilla was literally, one tortilla cut up in indiscriminate pieces. What was worse was that when we tried to break the meat & cheese apart to eat it, it was congealed together. Perhaps we've missed the point here of this restaurant being a blend of Indian and Mexican, however all 3 meals were average and missed the mark at all levels. I like to leave positive reviews but I simply can't for the food here. Again the staff were lovely and the mango lassi was one of the best I've had, but I'm sorry to say, that's all I'd go back for...

Went for Sunday dinner and wasn’t disappointed! The Butter Chicken and Butter Chicken fries are amazing. The BC isn’t too oily and was just flavourful. Jalapeño poppers were fantastic too! Crunchy and a touch spicy! The gentleman (possibly owner?) was really lovely and checked to see if we needed anything. Will definitely be going back! Thank you!

Very disappointing experience. We booked for 7:45 pm and were rushed the entire time. Food arrived around 8:15 pm and while a couple of items were okay, most of the dishes were absolutely drenched in sauce to the point that you couldn’t taste the food itself. The hard tacos were chewy and stale, as if they had been sitting out for days. By 8:30 pm we were already being asked if we were finished, then made to feel extremely uncomfortable while the server stood staring and huffing at the till trying to rush us out. If you can’t give diners even an hour, don’t accept late bookings. Service was rude, we were given attitude when ordering another drink, and they couldn’t even provide a receipt after payment. Clearly the staff just wanted to go home. Would not recommend.

Whilst I did not enjoy the Indian-Mex butter chicken burrito, the Goan Barra curry was delicious and seemed very authentic. Good balance of spices. One of the few later open Ng eateries in McLaren Vale. Service was quick and there was plenty to share. The samosa should have a special mention too.

I love Indian food so the experience was great. The place is open till late which is great. Food came quite fast. Plenty of seating inside and outside.

This place is a hidden gem! The ambience is spot-on for a memorable night out, with plenty of space to party and great vibes all around. The garlic naan and eggplant curry were mild but incredibly tasty and creamy. They offer a diverse menu featuring both Indian and Mexican delights. Located away from town, it's a unique spot, and the extensive cocktail and beer selection adds to the appeal. Plus, a delightful surprise - they served complimentary papadam with mint and sweet sauce. Kudos to the owner for creating this fantastic experience!❤️

Ordered eggplant curry and 2 naans through ubereats. The eggplant curry is so sweet that its almost inedible. Even desserts don’t have that much sugar in it. I don’t understand the obsession of Indian restaurants of adding sugar to curries. Do better please! The naans were so stale as well.

Absolutely useless. Over charge, can’t understand the lady on the phone and you have to repeat everything 10 times. Ordered through uber eats as I worked a 12 hour shift without a break at my own job, they forgot to give me my drink and when I called to ask if I can come and get them from the store the rude lady on the phone was insistent that she packed them. No such thing in said “pepper bug” (paper bag), that I could not come and collect them and then hung up. Seriously not happy with this service and will not be ordering from here again.
