Chilli Festival Saty 13th. Our chairs were all full of dirt & crumbs as we sat down. Our water glasses wer all stained and grubby. The food was HORRIBLE. BELOWSTANDARD. I ordered spiced lamb salad and what I got was a cheap grade lamb mince mush with no flavour and a nice big black bug in it. Hubby’s arrancini were disgusting. No flavour. Cooked in old oil, you could taste it, the same with the wedges. Unedible. My friends desert was a stale old piece of cake. The food is shocking, I don’t know how they are in business. Overpriced for such a poor standard. Will never eat there again.

Recycled, dry food. Seriously why would you re-use your entre’ foods? You can’t hide it. I nearly chipped a tooth biting into your crusty, reheated meatballs which resembled something of last weeks leftovers. The décor is the pits; by which I mean the lounges smell like a sweaty arm pit and are in desperate need of a good steam clean. If a bloke can get grossed out by something like this then that’s sayin’ something. The prices are well over the top. This bar needs a good shake up. Pretty disappointing really because it has heaps of potential.

3.5 stars I would of given 4 stars but somethings missed the mark. First of all they don’t take bookings for anything less than 8ppl but they took my booking for 6 as it was pretty close to 8ppl. when it comes to ordering food and drink you can do pays as you go at your table or pay at the bar which makes the place seem a bit chaotic. For our entrées we ordered shark attack(crumbed shark with a mango salsa) nice flavors but the oil must of been old as the crumbs tastes slightly burnt, it was the same with the chicken wings nice but had the burnt taste, we also had the pumpkin accachni balls with blue cheese sauce which were nice but could do with more pumpkin. For the mains I had the pork knuckles with mash, sauerkraut topped with onion gravy, It was fantastic had the crispy pork crackle all round the top, the pork was tender combined with the mash, sauerkraut and gravy it was one of the nicest meals I’ve had in a while. The other mains were Asian Duck Salad which my sister fully enjoyed I tried a bit duck was a bit dry and tasted like precooked breast you get from the shops but all together a nice dish. The brother in law had the fish tortilla which was massive and I mean huge could feed 2 or more ppl. He throughly enjoyed. For dessert we had creame brulee which was also great from the caramelized top and the creaminess of the brulee. All in good food and the beers are good to

The Indi is a local for me. Every now and again I want to go somewhere nearby for a steak and a beer as well as being near the water. Usually that choice leads me to the Indi or the Mullaloo Beach Hotel. The food at the Indi is pretty good pub grub. Nothing outstanding to mention really. You are getting exactly what you think you’ll be getting. Where the letdown is however… The beer. It’s just not that good. I mean, it’s below average. I like supporting a local brewery, but they need to step up their game on the beer front. I’ll likely be back for a steak… But I might go for the spirits to drink.

Celiacs beware The fish balls marked gluten free on the menu are covered in breadcrumbs! When my husband pointed this out they called the manager but only a verbal apology was offered. I could have ended up in hospital and they even made us pay the difference when we got another meal so I could eat something. A sign at the front about people taking their own responsibility for allergies cannot excuse or protect from litigation when something is advertised as gluten free and has breadcrumbs on it…

I love the Indi. Set in a beautiful Mindarie Marina, and with an amazing menu and delicious beers, its just perfect! I love the tapas, the feta is out of this world! And the burgers are a hit, with home made chips and a delicious relish! The whole feel of the place is amazing and its great for winter and summer, with tables and chair outside for the summer and a fire and couches in the winter. The home brewed beers are so tasty, really easy to drink, which is a good and bad thing. The services in great too and the crowd it attracts is too. It is a perfect chilled night out.

During the cold winter months me and my friends were searching for somewhere we could hang out and catch up, up in the northern suburbs its slim picking in general and for past 9pm you’d be lucky to find anywhere at all. However, we discovered that the Indian Ocean Brewery stayed open later and served up coffee, we went to check it out and found ourselves settled into their armchairs next to the fireplace enjoying a delicious cup of coffee. Needless to say it became our regular haunt, and much like the cast of friends we always had the couches by the fireplace. Every now and then we’d splash out for some desert and get their churros which are fantastic. As the summer months have been approaching we’ve been testing out their on site range of beers, my favourite would be the Indi white as it has a citrusy flavour, perfect for summertime. Their food is delicious and they serve amazing woodfired pizzas, and on Tuesdays they bring them down to $ 10, so make the most of it and order their amazing garlic prawn pizza. Sundays are a great day to come down for an afternoon sesh and sit outside with live music and happy atmosphere around the marina. The Indian Ocean is a great place to come to whether is for an evening coffee, tasty lunch, family dinner or to grab a beer,

Located in the northern climes of Perth and boasting a oceanfront view, Indian Ocean Brewery is a microbrewery and pub with an almost perpetually sunny demeanour. From its location to its bright, fresh décor, the Indian Ocean Brewery is like a fresh breeze. For a microbrewery, it has a rather disappointing range of beers. There are four permanent beers that are always on tap [and available as a taster tray], and other beers that are seasonal. Of the four permanent beers, the Indi White is probably the best, with a bright, cleansing taste and a subtle aroma of spices. The Indi Pilsner was a little too bitter even for a pilsner, while the Indi Pale Ale was somewhat bland. The food, however, is top quality. The pizzas are generous with both size and toppings, and the burgers are a good balance of filling and bread. The prices are a little steep, but the quality of the food makes paying extra less painful. The Indian Ocean Brewery is worth a visit if you are a beer aficionado looking to sample some new beers, or for anyone in the northern reaches of Perth to enjoy good food while overlooking the ocean.
