    If you are from india then i'm sure you know what good food tastes like. Please avoid this place as much as possible. Total waste of money....ruined my Saturday night dinner. Pathetic food. Butter chicken was straight out from a bottle of simmer sauce you get in superstores. I could make better dal makhni at home. Tandoori rotis were like leather...not edible. Worst experience

    I had a delightful dining experience at this restaurant. The goat curry was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with rich flavors. The butter naan, green chilli onion naan, and laccha paratha were equally impressive, showcasing the chef's skill. The staff's soft-spoken and friendly demeanor added to the overall warmth of the place. I am eager to return and explore more of their delectable menu. Highly recommended for those seeking an authentic and enjoyable Indian culinary adventure.

    Its a good place with tasty food. We ordered samsosa chat but came to know that it was off the menu. We requested the chef if we coukd make 1 for us and he did!! Super thanks for going an extra mile for us. The samosa chat was delicious. We also ordered chilli chicken, mutton curry, chicken roast and garlic naan and everything was 10/10!

    If you like Indian food then this restaurant is excellent. Four of us went there on a Scoopon voucher to give it a try. Must say we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the volume. The foods were so delicious, the quantity was more than sufficient and the service was fantastic. We did enjoy our meal very much. Would definitely go back and recommend to our friends CJ and EF

    Went for dinner today and ordered a variety dishes, including the Special Goat Curry, Tandori Chicken, Garlic Naan & Mango Lassi. All of the dishes were extremely well presented and prepared and had a great flavour. The service was very friendly and prompt. If youโ€™re looking for great Indian food look no further.

    Ordered take away, it was cold by the time we got it home, even though we live only a few streets away. The naan bread was very nice also the chicken chili, although I would have liked the capsicums to have been more cooked as they were very crunchy. The other dishes were ok. First time we have ordered from here. I would like to dine in next time and then decide if itโ€™s a go for us or not.

    Just came back after a pretty good dinner here. The restaurants wasnโ€™t that busy tonight and the girl attended us really well. We had chilly paneer, chicken korma and lamb Rogan Josh. The portions were good, the meat as soft and tender as possible. The naans and roti were crispy and very well made. We will go again for sure.

  • 5/5 Kajal J. 3 years ago on Google
    We randomly went in for this one early evening. We ordered bhindi masala, dal masala, rice, goat masala and naans. Being a big bhindi fan all my life, it is difficult to find desi restaurants deliver such a basic dish properly. And this place did not disappoint, loved their bhindi masala. Dal masala could use a bit more tadka and sizzle but nevertheless was still nice. Serving size are reasonably set. Customer service was lovely. The chef was proper and everything was clean. Overall, everything was good. Will definitely come back or order in to try more dishes.

  • 4/5 Johann S. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered here because i couldnt find a good indian restaurant in the area! Gotta say the chicken vindaloo from there was really good, texture was great and with the right amount of aroma spices, could be close to one of the best vindaloos in melb, garlic naan was ok, lacking real garlic and crispness, other than that would recommend.
