Awesome i recommend everyone to go and eat their delicious food
I have been there the food are good and delicious in Melbourne
Got a chance to visit Tabbaq recently. When I reached there around 8:00 pm I was expecting it to be fully crowded but I was all alone in the restaurant so got a bit suspicious about the quality of food. Somehow I ordered Chicken Tikka Boti karahi, Seekh Kebab, and a Garlic Naan. I found the taste of all dishes awesome. I like to order a Kulfi there but couldn't due to generous portion size of the main course. I like to go there and try other things again. Recommended

Service was average but the food was great.
Like grandma's cooking!
We ordered the shish kebab masala and butter chicken.
Shish kebab dish was divine. Very generous servings
Ventured into this restaurant after some good reviews from mates.
Pros
- ordered the dinner for 2
- biryani was delicious
- shish kebab was delicious
- serving was very generous
- pricing was great
- location great
- hygenic
Cons
- ordered them extra hot.. it was barely even hot.
- their menu is all over the place.. like seriously it was like reading a text book. Had no idea what to order.. not much description.. very vague. Also half the items they ran out.
I would greatly recommend.
Tabaaq was long due because of all the reviews and it definitely did not sadden me... we went on a quite weekday ... quite late too ... with no one around we expected the service to be slow but not bad ... they brought in the food quickly in about 15 mins...ordered naan-garlic and butter,chicken Karachi,mutton hot chilli and chicken biryani..butter naan was awesome 10/10 but not too happy with the use of garlic in garlic naan...mutton hot chilli should get a 10/10,chicken Karahi 9/10,paaya could be better 7/10 ,biryani was a tad let down ...but overall experience was great...coming back again !!!!
So glad I went here... Small little shop on the main street of Dandenong. Offering Pakistany food. Menu was very cultured and had heaps of traditional dishes. Curries had an amazing aroma and were full of flavour... Love the use of Green Chilli through the dishes. The naan breads were perfectly cooked and loved the addition of seseme seeds. Layout needs work to attract more people... Also well priced at $40 for all of this plus doggy bag
Service is good and prices are cheap. My wife and I had the chicken handi, palak paneer and some naan. The Naan was really good. The other dishes were tasty but too oily. If less oil was used I would give this place a 5 star rating.
Excellent Pakistani / Indian food. Been there many many times , and will keep going. Family meal is total value for money. Chappli kebabs are MUST to eat. Also to try on menu Payas and biryanis. Service is little slow but it can be happily ignored because the food is worth waiting for. If you are real Indian food fan - go here !
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
With a whole week in my beloved Melbourne over Easter, Hubby and I were on the search for a few interesting places to eat. On a previous trip he had been out to Dandenong for lunch and discovered it was a thriving hub of indian/pakistani/afghani cuisine and had been promising to take me there.
So on Easter Saturday night we jumped on a train and headed out. A quick check with Zomato threw up Tabbaq and so that's were we ended up. What a find this place was! It was a very quiet night with only three others tables dining, but we were welcomed warmly and menu's and water were quickly on the table.
Down to the serious business of deciding what to eat. We ended up going with the Mutton with hot green chillis, dahl makhni, rice, raita and naan. Perfect choice for a cool autumn evening - the lamb was to die for. Beautifully cooked so that it forked apart with ease and oh that green chilli sauce - sublime. The dalh was also one of the best we've had (and we eat a lot of dalh both in Australia and in India). Flavoursome, rich - simply delicious. Every last bite was just perfection and we have been raving about it ever since.
With plans to move to Melbourne at some stage, we will definately be out in Dandenong a lot more and Tabbaq is now firmly on our favourites list. Seriously go here!!!
At tabbaq , we had our first pakistani food. The food was the best pakistani food that we had in melborne. I have a soft corner for a family run place , they somehow have a great vibe. And mostly food does not have that factory made unpleasant taste to it.
Though the staff wasnt at-all welcoming , Strange. But , thats ok...as far as the food isnt a let-down , i am good.
** Pen marks , corrections and not available written on the menu is complete let-down at the first place.
Get a new menu printed. Make it clean and readable - looks classy and passes on a great vibe of the food and place.
These lil things can always be worked upon , the good part and most essential part of a restaurant is food - and you know it well. Shows on the plates - we licked every bit off them :)
Food - 4/5
Staff - 3/5
Place - 3/5
