    One of the best South Indian thaali, filter coffee & uthappam. Definitely, I would rate this restaurant as the best in the southeast of Melbourne. Mango lassi was very good too. Prices won't hit your pocket as well. Surely, you will not be disappointed. To all my followers, that's a guarantee!

    I found a charming South Indian restaurant that's perfect for a peaceful family lunch. The ambiance offers a homely atmosphere, allowing you to relish a comforting meal. The attentive and kind service from the young staff, who treat customers with genuine care, adds to the experience. It's undoubtedly the best in terms of customer service.

    No words can describe this place. Can give 6 starts out of 5 for the taste of food, quality, quantity etc. It's a true family restaurant which can seriously compete and win over other commercial places which runs a similar type of restaurants. The food cooked here is very tasty. One can easily say it's a hidden gem in Dandenong region (atleast for me who travelled 50+kms to get here). Thank you to the owners/staff to run such a good restaurant.

    The restaurant is really good, how ever they do not serve the basic minimum required chutney or sambhar with the dosas and Idlis which is ridiculous. You better order a dosa and pay AUD 4 for the required curries. It was sad to see them serving sambhar and chutney like pickles. We all understand the rise in living costs, please increase your menu prices than charging AUD 2. For a spoon of chutney

    Tastiest dosas and vadas in town. You get very soft idlis and wonder what!! All the items are super affordable here. The sambar is so good and the chutney is also to be commented on. Anytime hungry, get a bus to Dandenong have a 7 mins walk to this place and have tummy full food. The best service too.

    We went to this restaurant for lunch today. Between the 2 of us we had a thali uttapam, sambar vada and ended with masala chaas and filter coffee. Food was amazing and authentic south Indian fare. Service was excellent too. Will surely go back again.

    I can say, Iyer is one of the best vegetarian restaurants near noble park or dandenong. We had mysore masala dosa, paneer masala dosa, medhu vada, laddu and mysore pak from here. Dosas were so crispy, soft and tasty.๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป Medhu vada and laddu were also good. And mysore pak was one of the best items. It was made so perfect with right amount of ghee & sugar. It was soft & just melted in the mouth. All the dishes have that authentic South Indian taste. Family-run restaurant and customer friendly.

    Would genuinely put it at the top of my list for authentic south indian food in Melb, and would also sing praises in honour of their Dosas, they're that bloody good! Great service with a smiling face, homely ambience and great great food at affordable prices! Give them a visit and you'll find yourself satisfied with a tummy full of yummy Dosas, writing heartfelt reviews for them!

    A Homey Haven for Flavorful South Indian Delights If you're craving authentic South Indian vegetarian cuisine served with a generous helping of warmth and hospitality, look no further than Iyer Vegetarian Restaurant. From the moment you step inside, the aroma of spices and the gentle hum of conversation transport you to a cozy, home-like atmosphere. Iyer Vegetarian Restaurant is more than just delicious food. The friendly staff, many of whom are young and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing their culinary heritage, go above and beyond to make your experience truly special. Their attentiveness and kind smiles add a touch of warmth to every interaction. Bonus Tip: Don't forget to try their filter coffee, a strong and aromatic brew that's the perfect way to end your meal. Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

    The BEST authentic south Indian food I have had in Australia. The food is prepared by a family and it feels like eating at a friend's house. Reminds me of the most authentic south Indian places in India. Super healthy (not loaded with fat & oil), sumptuous, amazing service and super cheap, you can't go wrong!

    Brilliant little South Indian restaurant with excellent service (attentive and kind)! The food very much has a home made South Indian taste and were all of great quality too. The Thali was amazing value for money. Buttermilk was *chefโ€™s kiss* Perfect for when you are craving for South Indian and want it simple yet delicious and quick. 4 stars out of 5 only because itโ€™s small with no way to book a table so it means a bit of wait depending on when you go.

    Absolutely Tasteless food . Itโ€™s a waste of money , would rather eat hungry jacks or McDonaldโ€™s than wasting money here . Sambar so cold and bland . No chutneys, masala dosa has no taste . Dosa feels like eating paper.

    Very polite friendly staff and good customer service and clean. Unfortunately the food was disappointing as there was not much of a choice. I ordered the thali but most disappointing was their โ€œmasala chaiโ€ which was more like an instant tea packet bought off the supermarket shelf and tasteless.
