Get yourself the one of the best Indian food from Curry Leaf Cafe located in Elwood ‼️ This family-run & owned restaurant has been standing for SEVENTEEN (17) years 🤯 has won so many awards 🏅 AND visits from famous Australians 🙊 We had their Royal Feast 1 ($35pp) and got: 🔼 Samosas Best samosas we’ve ever had for sure! It came out hot & crispy, tasted homemade. 🍗 Chicken Tikka This was well marinated & the smoky flavor from being cooked in the Tandoor really shone through. 🍖 Lamb Shank Curry Super tender, melt-in-your-mouth lamb. Curry flavor was great to complement the flavor of the lamb itself. This was perfect being eaten with the papadams & raita (yogurt) to have that contrast of crispy & soft texture in one bite. 🥘 Butter Chicken Easily the best we’ve ever had! I’m obsessed with the smokiness flavor and the well balanced sweet & savory levels. This was perfect with naan or rice (+ raita if you’d like). Definitely my favorite! ⭐️ ++ sides: rice, papadams, chutney, dips, naan, raita (yogurt) ** Free to choose 2 curries from the menu too This feast is such a good deal. They’re very welcoming to your taste (spiciness level, etc) as well as generous with their portions 🥰 Time your feast well with their 💃🏻 Happy Hour session 💃🏻 (4:30pm - 5:30pm AND 8:30 - 9:30pm) to get $10 Cocktails or Mocktails 😋 We highly recommend you to visit this place, not only you’re supporting Australian businesses, you’re also getting a great deal on delicious food & drinks ‼️

A delightful cosy gem with authentic food and accomodating staff. The unassuming establishment may lead you to underestimate the lovely experience you’ll enjoy here, as it hides its charm amongst a busy local shopping strip on a main road. It would be a mistake to pass on by! The menu is large and varying, it can be overwhelming to be confronted with so many delicious options. And most importantly, the dishes are made to your liking with level of spice. A very important factor for us weaklings! My top tip is to ensure you include a side of their delicious Naan bread - fresh out of the tandoor oven. You’ll never look at naan the same way again.

One of the best authentic Indian restaurants at St Kilda, enjoying the chicken thali and awesome chicken biryani, the restaurant is not very posh, however their hand made fresh food is way beyond anything you can compare to, they have won awards for beautiful restaurants in AU, pretty much a Michelin star ⭐ Highly recommend visiting and encouraging loving staff

We did a walk in last night and they couldn't have been more accommodating. This is a wonderful cosy restaurant that turns out amazing food and the staff are really friendly. Had one of the fixed price options and had more than enough for 4 and it was delicious. Will definitely be back.

No idea this place existed until I smelt it from the tram stop last week. We got takeaway last night and it was lovely. The portions were great and beautiful flavours. Will definitely eat again, the place is pretty and cosy too so will dine in sometime soon. Thanks for the awesome meal.

Excellent Indian food and mili is an amazing host!! Thanks so much

Curry leaf cafe is a hidden gem! Great service and chilled atmosphere, the food is sublime, succulent crispy paneer, there is so many rice options and the mango lassi is to die for! I tried the Lycheetini and loved it. Please support small business, high quality innovative indian cuisine!

As someone who frequently visits this Curry Leaf restaurant, I can confidently say that the food here is simply amazing! The flavors are always spot-on, the portions are generous, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. I've tried many dishes here, but my absolute favorites are the chicken tikka masala and the tandoori chicken. The tikka masala has the perfect balance of creaminess and spiciness. The biryani is also a must-try. It's a dish that never disappoints and always leaves me feeling satisfied. The combination of fragrant rice, tender meat, and aromatic spices is simply irresistible. I usually opt for this as my regular plus vegetable samosa. The service here is excellent too. The staff is always attentive and friendly, and they never hesitate to recommend dishes or help with any dietary restrictions. The atmosphere of the restaurant is cozy and inviting. The decor is simple but elegant, and the soft lighting sets the perfect mood for a relaxed evening out. Overall, if you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine that will leave your taste buds tingling with delight, then this restaurant is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Indian food or is looking for a new dining experience.

Visited this place yesterday night. The seating and service was good. I ordered kadhai paneer, butter chicken, butter naan, rice. The quantity was very good. As far as taste is concerned, kadhai paneer and butter naan were very good (4/5), butter chicken was kind of average to above average. Overall, a great place.

Best kept secret Indian in Melbourne. Amazing food and friendly service. Great for summer cocktails too!

This place definitely is a gem in the neighbourhood that offers excellent Indian dishes without any doubt. Malai prawns - succulent prawns slow cooked in a cashew & coconut cream sauce. Alu gobhi mutter - cauliflower, potato & peas in tomato curry. Bengali jalfrezie - tomatoes, red & green bell peppers, onion & fresh green chilly tossed in a seductively delicious curry.

Lamb rogan Josh- lamb was dry and tasteless, the curry was too spicy with loads of Chili i couldn't eat it. I thought I said make it temperature hot not hot and spicy like medicine. I don't recommend this and will not be buying again

One of the best restaurant when it cokes to Indians want to eat Hot Spicy food not Whitey Whitey food restaurant Finely cut Red Onions Hot Mushroom Jalfrezi not though of that would be too good Kofta cooked in fine gravy NAANS are awesome 10/8.5 as I have earned some place a bit more flavoured.

Food is absolutely delicious and staff are lovely. We come here regularly and are never disappointed. Love the relaxed and cozy atmosphere.
