My favourite Indian in all of melbourne! Their curries are absolutely amazing. I’ve been here at least 10 times and it never disappoints.
For our date night, we always randomly choose a cuisine/restaurant to try. Few weeks ago, we’re craving curry dishes. Instead of ordering from our usual go-to places, we decided on trying out this place for the first time.
We ordered their Chickeen Saag, Butter Chicken and momo. With a side of Aloo Paratha (potato inside), garlic naan and saffron rice. I know this look like a lot of food for 2 people, but we like to have extra portions to reheat the next day 😂
Overall, the dishes were flavorful and delicious. The butter chicken really surprised me, as with this one there is a hint of smoked flavor which elevated the dish imo. Great portion for the price too. I really recommend people to give these dishes a go!
My partner and I got the 2 person banquet and it was AMAAAAAZING!! We were so pleased with our meal and walked out so satisfied and full. Service was great and we would 100% recommend!!
Meat is always so tender and the curries have so much flavour, love the jalfrezi and vindaloo (very hot!)
We visited Punjabi Curry House tonight for some seriously good flavoured curry dishes and some friendly attentive service. We were the first to arrive tonight in what ended up being a busy bustling restaurant by our meals end. The menu read well and we started with Samosas, Chicken Tikka and some vegetarian fritters. Sadly the samosa were a little on the cool side but they still packed plenty of flavour. The chicken tikka had a real smokey flavour and was a hit at our table. Our mains were also full flavoured with lovely versions of tandoori chicken and butter chicken which came with a little more spice heat than your typical butter chicken
I would definitely eat here again and noted byo wine was an option for next time. In the entertainment book and also participates in zomato gold.
Absolutely tastiest authentic Indian food in Melbourne! Everything right from food to service to ambience was superb. Added to my list of “ hangout spot for tasty Indian food”❤️
Great food on both my previous visits. Their Chicken Tikka Masala is just smoky goodness. And the goat curry was simply amazing. Highly recommend.
Great great food, ambience and customer service! The first time I tried their food was actually a delivery order - the food delivered was fresh, hot and delicious (We ordered butter chicken, naan and biryani)!
Decided to pop by for a dine-in! It was such a pleasant experience as the restaurant felt like an Italian eatery because of the lighting and deco set-up! We were served by friendly mannered staff as well, they were thoughtful and polite!
The food was the highlight! We order their mango lassi, butter chicken (all-time favourite!), chicken biryani, goat biryani, garlic cheese naan, garlic naan and papadum! They were all delicious!
Their biryani was very flavoured and their texture was good too! Butter chicken was not super sweet and it was fragrant too (they used tandoori chicken yumz)! Everything was considered spicy for us but we had yummy in our tummy so it was fine!
Totally recommend anyone who loved Indian cuisine to give it a go :) Will definitely return for good meals again and again!
AMAZING FOOD! Food came out sooo quick and all at once (group of 5 so we ordered a lot) and the waiter and waitress were so friendly 💕 the ambience was also really nice, dimmed lights and it was probably the best Indian restaurant I’ve been to in Melbourne! (I’m Indian). The naans were perfect and especially the balti curry was delish!! Also just a side note, the presentation of the food was really nice, came out in traditional Indian dishes and the portion sizes were great for a family of 5!
This is a great Indian spot in Collingwood! It is really delicious, I particularly love the fresh naan and spiced rices. The staff are really friendly and attentive, adding to the great experiences I’ve had here.
The food is quite flavourful, I can only talk to the vegeterian options and they are relatively good. If you would like extra spice, you just have to ask for it and they will gladly cater for you.
Never leave here without feeling extremely well fed!! Abundant with excellent and nourishing vegetarian options but I always find myself coming back for the palak paneer and the chana masala 🫶 super friendly and attentive service and a cozy restaurant :)
Delicious curries and perfectly seasoned & prepared naans. The Punjabi chicken curry is easily the highlight. Have eaten in plus had takeaway from here, both awesome. The one criticism I have was the tandoori chicken, as it was really dry.

Panjabi Curry Cafe is a local favourite in Collingwood. While they have been trading for over 10 years, this was my first time visiting. They have a spacious dining area, with lots of natural light. Up the back they have a bar and an open tandoor.
We started off with some crispy papadams, with a sweet tamarind chutney and raita.
For mains, we enjoyed Punjabi Kadai Prawn. A generous school of prawns, in a scrumptious capsicum, tomato and ginger curry. It had a nice spicy kick to it as well. While the dish looked small, it was quite filling. On the side, some fragrant saffron rice was on hand to soak up all the curry.
Lamb cutlets were next to arrive. These were marinated in yoghurt and spiced, then cooked in the traditional tandoor. They arrived on a steaming hotplate, with grilled onions. The meat was tender and delicious. It was wrapped in foil, which was unsightly, it would be best to serve the dish without this.
Much of the restaurant’s best foods are cooked on a traditional Indian over, a Tandoor. It takes an hour every day to get it up to the optimal temperature. The naan bread is cooked in this oven and takes less than a minute to produce fluffy, warm bread.
I washed the food down with a refreshing Kingfisher Beer, all the way from India. With great service and even better food, Panjabi Curry Cafe is one of the best Indian restaurants in Melbourne.
