What people are saying...
The Food was dissapointing, the service was ok. Marinades used to be good, but its quality has gone down dramatically. Won't be coming back. Also avoid the lamb rogan josh, it was the blandest curry i have ever eaten. Also they have increased the prices. Dissapointing
If you're into Indian, then you absolutely must try this restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious, the staff are friendly, the service is good, and the prices reasonable. What more could you want? (ps: would not recommend for large groups on weekend night - then the service slows to a crawl)
I LOVE THIS FOOD!! GO HERE!! BEST INDIAN FOOD EVER=]
VERY GOOD PRICE
TASTY FOOD
GOOD SERVICE
FRIENDLY
IT REALY IS GREAT
The staff are always friendly and the food is always delicious. It would be hard to say which is my favourite dish as they're all tasty. I'm salivating now thinking about it. I recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Having lived in the curry capital of England, it was with some trepidation we tried the various curry houses of Cairns. Marinades had been recommended as the best, its food was very authentic and tasty, the setting was equisite, and the experience was good, so it perhaps deserves the accolade of best in Cairns, but it did seem expensive for a curry!
Disappointing, I've ate in many Indian Resturants, this one being the most bland and over priced of them all!
Best Indian food in Cairns hands down. Greatest Chicken Tikka Masala In Queensland!!!
We ate dinner at Marinades in 2003 and loved the Butter Chicken. We will go back on our next trip (Minneapolis to LAX to SYD to Cairns).
Real authentic Indian food prepared by real authentic Indian chefs. Indian cuisine at its best.
What can I say - we will be back. Astounding, everything was as near to perfect as possible, from attentive staff to superb food and at such good prices. Thanks Marinades
Probably the best indian restaurant, and definately one of the best overall in Cairns!
Marinades remains not only Cairns or Qld's, but Australia's finest Indian restaurant. It is wonderful to know that each time we go back, the standard of food and service will be superb. My wife and I have both lived in India, and are on an eternal quest for quality Indian food, so having Marinades so close to home make our life alot easier. 3/3. Excellent!

The first bite/suck/lick/nibble/chew of food renowned for being exceptionally hot and spicy is often taken with trepidation and shrouded in nerves. Involuntary trembling or quivering accompanied with driblets of sweat emerging from your forehead is a common occurrence. After that first taste, your fears are either realised or relieved.
Marinades is a restaurant you don

Marinades is undoubtedly one of those Indian places that serve best and authentic Indian Cuisine. The food turned out to be absolutely incredible. It was very tasty, fresh and cooked to exact requirement. Service was with a smile. The ambience is lovely and superb and price extremely reasonable. Would not hesitate recommending it to anyone looking for top class Indian food in Cairns.
