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.

My wife and i haven't been happy with the quality of Indian food around our area & for the last 7 years we have put up with below average Indian food after living in the inner city and having been accustomed to high quality standard of restaurants. WHY DID WE SAVE THE BEST TILL LAST? Thank God we have found a fantastic Indian restaurant in Manningham. Well done guys you have a very professional, friendly place with awesome food. (We got takeaway) 5 x thumbs up

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

Recent
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!

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!

We came here for Fathers Day dinner - just the two of us. Located centrally on Blackburn Road amongst other good eateries. This place is a standout.

Welcomed and seated within seconds, we chose to have a few entrees and one main with the usual raita, naan and rice. A nice bottle of Langhi Ghiran Billie Billie Shiraz helped the night.

The staff were just lovely, helpful and the service was fast - but not too fast.

The restaurant itself has nice decor and quite a romantic setting.

Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Good car parking our the front. Takeaway available. In fact, they are one of the top MenuLog takeaway restaurants being a winner in 2018. Kudos to them.

I was looking for a place that serves some good Indian food and a few of my friends recommended this place!
We ordered a Paneer Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken and Chicken Biryani and believe me, we weren't disappointed.

The butter chicken was absolutely delicious. The gravy was divine. Will order it every time I visit this place or get food delivered from here.

Paneer Tikka Masala was good. It was somewhat different than what we actually get it in India. It was more like a regular Paneer Capsicum Onion curry. But not bad.

Chicken Biryani was great as well. They also served some extras with our order like some Naans, Papadums and Gulab Jamuns and we loved it!

For me, the star was that butter chicken! Do try it and if you can handle spicy food then instruct them to make it hot! Personally not a fan of sweet butter chicken so loved this!

We are regulars here. We get takeaway here every week because it’s the only consistently well made Indian food restaurant we have ever been to. The quantities are very reasonable and they are always happy to specialise the food to our personal palette (less spice, more paneer, less oil etc). It’s hard to find well made Indian food these days and Tantra definitely ticks many boxes. They have a balanced fusion of traditional Indian flavours not too subtle but not too overwhelming with too many spices so that western people can enjoy it too! My favourite is the paneer tika and the kofta curry which are both vegetarian. My dad and partner enjoy the chicken tika masala. The chef is very kind and sometimes throw in extra rice, chutney and pupadums because we order so often. We normally just get takeaway as but the restaurant itself has an excellent vibe for people who do choose to dine in. Very authentic and Indian!

I’ve been to this restaurant multiple times and I haven’t been disappointed. Their service is friendly and quick, their food has a lot of flavour and the best thing that I like about this restaurant is that their portion sizes are great for the price they charge. It is well worth it and I haven’t been disappointed.
I had to make a last minute 11 people booking and they were happy to accomodate my family, served us with a big smile on their face. I will be visiting this place in the future and will be recommending this place to others too.

This place has been my favourite for the past 2 years. We accidentally came across this restaurant through Menulog. The food is very good. Some might feel its pricey but I have had food for cheaper prices and nothing comes close to the dishes prepared by Tantra. Their hospitality is very welcoming and restaurant is well kept.

We ordered dinner from this place- Paneer curry, 2 garlic naans and lamb kebabs. Instead we got Paneer curry, 2 garlic naans, lamb kebabs, 2x delicious rice, 2x papadums, 2x dessert and dips. I mean it was probably because we ordered late and they had leftover food, but this is rather an unusual policy to add extra food! I really appreciate that instead of throwing the food they've done something like this, many restaurants should learn from them. 
Apart from that, the food was great and deserves 5. My curry was delicious and the size was so generous that I couldn't even eat it all! 
Well done Tantra!

Introduced my friend to this place and told him how it started. For entree, we ordered a Veg Samosa and boneless Chicken. Sorry Im vegetarian...dont remember what they were called. However I can say both were nicely served. The Chicken was on a sizzling plate which definitely wowed my friend. He didnt even know what a Lassi was....he thought it was a soft drink. He ended up getting a mango lassi while I got a Salty Lassi. For mains we got - Chicken Korma, Malai Kofta, shared Saffron Rice and 2 Garlic Naans. Really Nice. Manager of course communicated well, staff spoke good enough English and did their best to help us. Would definitely return as its a family favorite.

We came here for dinner on a Wednesday night and I can only say good words about our experience!
Food:
This is definitely one of the better Indian restaurants in the eastern part of Melbourne. The menu offered a wide range of vegetarian entree and main options (although I’m sure their non-vegetarian options are just as varied). We have ordered four mains and dish was equally delicious and special. I would really recommended sharing your meals as it really allows you to try a variety of dishes all which have a unique combination of flavours and textures.
The dessert were also quite lovely, I especially enjoyed the homemade ice cream. We finished off the meals with their flavourful Masala tea.

Side note:
The portions were quite large and we could only about half of our meals as we also wanted to save some room for dessert. The staff allowed us to get the leftovers packed away and also provided some rice and desert which made a beautiful lunch the next day.

Atmosphere and service
The space and interior was carefully arranged and designed to create an great atmosphere for a classic Indian restaurant. This is a pleasant contrast to some of the Indian places down at Clayton where I would usually go for Indian.

The staff were incredibly attentive and our food arrived fairly quickly.

P.S
They also offer a take away menu that is about 20% cheaper than the eat-in options, but the eat-in experience is well worth the extra.

The food here is absolutely delicious and there are little touches that make it a truly satisfying dining experience. Customer service was terrific and wait time for food was minimal. In taking the leftovers away, we were generously given pappadums and extra rice to go with the curry. I would go back in a heartbeat! A bonafide gem :)

Visited this place for the first time yesterday.
Took out takeaway last night of the following
- Butter Chicken
- Lamb Roganrosh curry
- Tandoori Sausages
- Potato Curry
- Basmati Rice

All of the above had their own distinct flavours, unlike some other Indian restaurants I've been to previously. The sausages had a nice, faint smokey flavour to it which was absolutely sublime.

Butter Chicken was my favourite, aromatic and sweet to taste which is what I prefer. Potato curry had a nice tangy flavour to it, which was a nice contrast to the rest of the other dishes we ordered. 

We were given complimentary sweet dumplings for desert which was a nice gesture.

Definately going back to this place for our Indian nights from now on.

I can't recommend tantra enough. My friend and I dined there last night and it was perfect! From the moment we stepped in the door we were greeted with warmth. The food was excellent. We had butter chicken and lamb korrma. Very high quality, it came out on time and I could have kept eating all night. We hung around to chat after our meal and they gave us a free dessert. It really was just an exceptional dining experience

Tantra is my new favourite place for Indian food. I had the Baigan Bharta (eggplant dish) and it was divine, probably the nicest Indian dish I've had. The serving was massive, I left extremely full and it left me with dinner for the next night too. The actual prices in the restaurant are higher than the ones on the menu available on Zomato - so it is definitely on the pricier side for Indian food in the suburbs but I thought it was worth it and perfect for a date night. The restaurant is relaxing, somehow very quiet even when it's full and more importantly, the service though is IMPECIBLE. The gentleman serving us packed away our leftovers for us and even added free desert and papadams, we were definitely looked after. Will be back!

Friends invited us to their favourite Indian restaurant called Tantra in an unassuming block of shops in East Doncaster. Unassuming from the outside but warm and welcoming from within. I'm not sure whether it was because we were with regular diners or not but we were made to feel like we belonged and immediately felt relaxed. The interior was decorated in reds and dark maroon with plenty of visually stunning prints.

Now for the food. We ordered far too much. I just went with the flow here. The chicken tikka was tender and spicey as were the lamb chops. The samosas came out pipping hot and crisp and also with quite some heat from spices. Our 'local guides' were such fans of the butter chicken here that we ordered two serves. This was the more traditional and more tomatoey version of butter chicken to what I prefer and I found a little too strong on the tomato flavour. Our friends highly rate this dish and their whole family have been known to order the same dish each. The breads were delicious as was my mango lassi and the complimentary Kulfi ice cream (mango & pistachio) we received at the end of the meal

The service here was highly attentive and a step above the standard suburban Indian restaurant. We had a great time and left a little heavier than when we came. They even gave us those hyper sweet syrup dumpling to take away with the rest of our leftovers. A really relaxing and enjoyable evening was had.

We went on Mother's Day, the wait was long for the food and it was packed.
However, the food and service was quality.
The entree we had was the Reshami kebab, which is incredibly tasty.
We got the five spice chicken and the beef madras. The chicken was cooked so well and full of flavor. The beef was quite average. Overall, the food was very good and I recommend this restraunt, if you like Indian food, as it has a wide variety of Indian food.

We have been regulars at this place for 18 months however on a take away basis and never disappointed. Prices have gone up slightly but to be fair the owner use to offer 10% discount for take away orders and throw in small extras on most occasions. The extras are still there just the prices are 10% more. It's actually hard to find good Indian food in the area so I am happy to pay for it. Favourites include Lamb Korma, Chefs Special, Madras, Chicken merge methi meli (spelling not right), samosas, mango lassi, kulfi, butter chicken, naan etc. Lamb is always tender with plenty of sauce for the dishes and flavoursome. We dined in on new years eve and the service was fine, the young waiter was attentive and courteous. The tables are very close to each other so you can quiet easily hear each others conversations unintentionally. I'll continue to get take away here until there is some actual competition.

Great food. My benchmark for Indian in Melbourne is Aangan in Footscray but looking for something closer to home we tried Tantra. When we arrived to pick up our food the restaurant was full with people waiting in the foyer I know why as the food was delicious. We had butter chicken and a vegie jalfrezi and both were awesome. Really tender chicken and the flavour was great. We didn't make a huge order but got some free papadums and raaita etc. Great meal and will be back, no need to travel to Footscray anymore!

Wished there was more. Delicious food but the portion size seems a bit small for the price you pay.

On the mark-heard something about possibly new owners tonight but the food we had including entree and main was delicious-especially for such a cold evening. Service however was a standout! Will return

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
