We highly recommend tantra! It is by far the best Indian food we've had, always flavoursome, plentiful and fresh! The owners are so generous and always add in something extra for us to try, complimentary.
Great food and really went the extra mile to impress with my first menulog order. I'm thrilled that this restaurant is nearby and the food was delicious.
Ordered food from ubereats and unfortunately our food was delayed however to make up for the delay the restaurant gave us more food than we ordered.
The curries were flavoursome; however, there was more curry sauce than meat. The samosas were seasoned with the most delicious seasoning and the roti was fluffy unlike any roti I’ve tried previously.
Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting authentic Indian.
Absolutely loved it! We tried takeaway few months ago and decided for a dine in this time - the food was fabulous, best Indian food we’ve had. We didn’t know what to order but explained what flavours we like and the lady made suggestions on what to order - amazing food. We ended up with lots of take home because we ordered too much. Will definitely come back for dining in - nice relaxed and friendly atmosphere!
Ordered Tantra to be delivered and it was absolutely delicious. Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. I love the wide range of vegetarian options. The lentil dal was so tasty and incredibly delicious. Highly recommend. A great local.
We had takeaway from Tantra based on its high rating and it was very good. We ordered butter chicken, malai kofta and the lamb madras. All three curries were thick and tasty. The lamb in the madras was quite average though, and contained lots of fatty cuts (but we will let them off on this occasion as we are so keen for lockdown to be over). The malai kofta with its sweet almond curry was divine. I absolutely loved it. We had a serving of onion bhaji and the pakoras too. The naans were all delicious but maybe a tad overpriced as we spent over $100 and 35% of that was rice and naan. Overall, I’ll definitely order again.

I just noticed this review was sitting in posted in my my drafts. We came with the family for Diwali dinner and while it was still utterly delicious I did feel quite sick after which was definitely not ideal. I’m not sure it will put me off a return visit however as I’m just addicted to their curries

We took a fresh round of friends to Tantra for double date night introducing them to the delicious delights that is the butter chicken perfection. It's a relatively small place run by a husband and wife team so make sure you book to avoid disappointment. Like I know things always have that disclaimer 'book early to avoid disappointment' and they are often in in no danger of booking out but seriously in this instance I implore you, BOOK. Other than that sit back relax and enjoy
Further Update
We visited for a double date night recently to show our friends how much we adore this place as their favourite local Indian has recently closed down. They actually still preferred their local but I suppose there’s no accounting for taste.
This remains the best Indian restaurant in Melbourne in my opinion (and my opinion is backed by extensive tasting research). The flavours in their curries are simply second to none and we are yet to try a dish we don’t love
UPDATE
We were back at Tantra this week for a family birthday and while it’s been 18 months since my original review I’m pleased to report its as fabulous as ever. My beloved butter chicken is still hands down the best in Melbourne and on this occasion I also tried the amritsiri fish and the malai kofta which were both very yummy. Simply outstanding overall
Original review
First up lets talk numbers. I've lost count of the amount of times I've been here. It's probably the same amount of times I've ordered takeaway from here. I've brought four different groups of friends here. I've been given complimentary delicious desserts at least three times. And I've arrived twice without a reservation and been turned away (😭😭).
The butter chicken is probably my favourite in all of Melbourne. I'm talking basically scraping the bottom of the bowl so I consume every last drop of that phenomenal sauce. And the tandoori chicken is a strong contender for the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. Just get down there
I ordered some takeaway from Tantra for a Sunday night dinner and was blown away by the food. The takeaway boxes were packed to the brim and they consisted of generous amounts of meat.
Among the dishes I ordered:
Madras beef - the pieces of beef were tender and the sauce was well spiced, full of flavour and simply delicious!
Palak paneer - having never tried this before, I approached it with some trepidation. The pieces of fried cottage cheese were swimming in the spinach sauce and the combination was wowza!
Briyani - we had the seafood and beef versions. Both were unique and full of spices.
The roti and samosas were fresh and had the correct textures.
The level of spiciness could be adjusted according to your taste. Tantra really impressed!
the food is so delicious , the butter chicken was amazing and they have many vegetarian options and the staff is friendly
Dined here last night for the first time and we loved it! We ordered the vegetable briyani, prawn tantra, butter chicken and some naans. Food were mostly brilliant, the prawns could have been better as the flavours from the spices were not absorbed into the prawns, it was just on the outer coating. Service was friendly and they even packed our leftovers for us nicely which is always a plus point. Would definitely visit again!
What a lovely meal! My partner and I got takeaway and were pleasantly surprised with complementary papadams and rice! Food was so yummy and I was absolutely stuffed! Fantastic value for money and lovely staff! Would recommend to anyone who loves Indian
Absolutely love this place and couldn't recommend it enough! Food is perfect and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting too. Just love it!
Highly recommended if you want to taste authentic indian dishes, Deserves perfect 5 stars.
Tried Tandori, Methi chicken and Goat, all of them had different delicious flavour. Always surprise me with extra dessert and stuffs. Thank you guys, keep it up 💯.
Ridiculously good food, we have ordered from here over 5 times and not one meal has been disappointing. We even live a 20 minute drive and it’s worth it. Always very generous, we have received extra curries, naan, rice, all that we didn’t even order and were given which is always a pleasant surprise. Our favourite Indian restaurant. My partner also has cealiac disease and not once has any issues occurred with their curries and rice, which really shows how particular kitchen/cooking staff must be. Could not recommend more, every time we order we have a food coma from eating too much, and then it’s our lunch and dinner for the next few days because they are so generous. We LOVE this place ❤️
Ordered from Menulog and had it delivered to the nearby caravan park. We selected to pay by cash, and the lady who rang me to check if we needed change was friendly.
Food came at time expected, if not a little early! Friendly driver.
DELICIOUS. We had a curry with several starters and sides and all were SO GOOD, especially the onion bhaji. Pleasantly surprised that they had thrown in some extra rice, breads and little sweet snacks!! We ate ourselves silly and still have plenty of leftover for tomorrow.
I don’t usually write reviews but I got delivery from them for the first time and it was amazing, I ordered the tomato soup, coconut rice and goa fish curry. When it arrived I thought they gave me the wrong order because there was so much in the bag but everything I ordered was there along with even more. I got free papadums, naan, rice and dessert. All the food was delicious and was large for the price this will be feeding me for multiple days. Will definitely be ordering again
