Dum N Rum

The food and drinks were delicious except the goat dish which was very tough. Staff were friendly but the experience was very rushed. Definitely not the place for a relaxing evening but if you just want to grab some food, quickly eat and get out, then it's ok. Perhaps staff should chill a bit and only clear plates once we have finished eating and ask about next course when we have actually finished the last course not in the middle of it. I'd rate it higher if we weren't so rushed out.

This place sure has its pros n cons, but am giving it a 4 star because its one of its kind in Brisbane. It is known for its Kerala cuisine, and appeals to the South Indian crowds, but honestly if you asked me, i would remove the North Indian dishes and bring in more South Indian delicacies from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra as Brisbane needs that. Fantastic ambience, Menu and taste. I wasnt a fan of the chicken, duck and goat that had the bone in.. bcos it wasnt satisfying, barely any meat on the bones. One cant eat the bones no matter how tasty the dish is so please increase the portion size there.

You are missing out if you are not eating here. The best, authentic Kerala (South Indian) food. Over the past couple of months we’ve been eating here very regularly and have been loving everything we’ve tried. 😀 Lots of parking, enough seats (bookings recommended), very friendly staff and clean. And don’t miss the deals (look out for them in Instagram or Facebook). They are even more amazing 🤩

Dum n Rum serves the best Keralite food in Brisbane. Kerala is a state in the Southern part of India. Most Indian restaurants in Brisbane tend to serve North Indian food leaving a void for food from other regions in India. Dum n Rum does an amazing job in delivering authentic dishes from Kerela. I would highly recommend ordering from their specialities section of the menu when dining at Dum n Rum. Dum n Rum have recently introduced Toddy to Brisbane. Toddy is sort of like a palm wine made from the sap of coconut and other palms. It is an alcoholic beverage which tastes slightly tangy and sweet. It pairs amazingly well with spicy food! This is something that is really hard to find in Australia, and you should definitely try it if you get a chance. Having dined here on numerous occasions, we have had the opportunity to try many dishes from the menu. I have genuinely loved everything. The biryani, kappa biryani, beef fry, fish curry and kizhi paratha are exceptional. I love the fish pollichathu (whole wrapped in banana leaf and baked), but one should only try this if they are comfortable dealing with fish bones. For dessert, make sure to try the ada pradaman. I have found the customer service to be exceptional here. The menu provides detailed explanations of the dishes, and the staff are more than willing to explain further and answer any questions you may have. You should definitely make a reservation before you visit as they can get very busy, specially on the weekends.

Good Asian Restaurant. Bit different then other Indian food points. Here there are versatile varieties of South Indian (spl kerala) and Sri Lankan cuisines. Plus Ok range of Indian, Shri Lankan, and other south east asian alcoholic beverages. Food taste wise is ok, as you will like it. Owner has really picked a good cfief. But staff need to be more perfect in their work. For example, we had order food and drink in order. Food was served on time, but drink was missed. We waited for few minutes. So finally went near counter to inquired about drink. Then drink was served. That's wrong. Sitting arrangements should be reviewed again by the owner as it look like only fit person can sit comfortably on corner side tables. But all this doesn't matter, after you have ur meal. As taste is good. I strongly recommend this food point.
