Voted the "Best Restaurant in Melbourne" by Indian Executive Club Awards - 2013
This is by far the best Indian restaurant we have been in Melbourne. As soon as we enter the restaurant we see heaps of awards that this good team has won! Reading through this, we have a fair idea about what we can expect in this restaurant. The food was amazing and the little "in house" improvements and recipes are the best. We would definitely recommend the tandoori's ! They are made from a proper tandoor and are mouth watering. Try this with the cheese naan! Have a friendly chat with the staff and they will tell you the specialities that they have on the menu and specialities that they have off menu. The Service is really good and is good value for money.
Surely wanting to dine here many more times and recommend this place for all Indian food lovers.
Ameers is our regular favourite Indian restaurant in Essendon. We eat here every time we come to Melbourne for the Australian Open. The food is full of flavour and has a great mix of spices. The quality is always consistently good. The service is attentive and enthusiastic. Love it.
We have been massive fans of Ameer since we moved to Melbourne. It is difficult to find a hearty Indian food and a warm welcoming atmosphere. We are very picky eaters but everyone at Ameer is always ready to accomodate all your needs. Also they always give you extra poppadums! Big thumbs up!
Enjoy Ameer on a regular basis. The food is good, staff are friendly, decor (Christmas lights everywhere) could do with an update. Reliable quality and worth a visit.

North Indian cuisine that leaves your belly feeling merry, but make sure you order from the takeaway menu.
You're greeted with aromatic flavours when you walk through the door, deliciously pleasing for your nose, to a rather laid-back, clean environment with outdated and tacky décor. However, don't let that discourage you, we're here for the food after all.
We ordered from the takeaway menu which included the Sag Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Korma and Chicken Biryani. Every dish was filled with amazing, rich and tasty flavours. Sag Paneer had huge pieces of cottage cheese submerged within the spinach. Both the chicken and lamb were cooked perfectly, tender and a joy to eat with their respective sauces where you could taste the freshly ground spices and herbs. The Chicken Biryani had a pleasant sweet taste mixed with a wonderful amount of spice with hidden pieces of tender chicken underneath the rice.
The garlic naan did a wonderful job of soaking the sauce with its fluffy goodness and texture.
We ordered the regular sized versions of these dishes and there was enough to feed us twice over ticking the cost-effective check box and raising my smile dial even further.
The service was friendly and prompt, the chefs dressed neatly focusing on their food preparations was nice to see.
However, eating in is a different experience. It's more expensive and surprisingly the taste and quality of the food isn't up to par compared to the takeaway option. Different chef? Huge dine in fee? Who knows, but dining in really hurts the experience.
If you're in the area looking for the Northern India food experience, it's hard to go pass Ameer Tandoori for takeaway, for dining in however, it's harder to recommend. Actually, I can't recommend dinning it at all. This probably explains why it's not busy inside.
With décor that needs work and a baffling dining in experience that's inconsistent and expensive, the real winner here is the takeaway menu.
New Best Indian Restaurant in the area. Have only been here once and can't wait to return the rogan josh was so delicious and spicy along with the raita was amazing and naan breads. The potato and pea bread was so tasty and with the lamb tandoori koftas and the minted yoghurt was great. Really good prices and the lady at the cashier is lovely! Can't wait to return.
Love this place! The restaurant is very small and intimate, great for a nice romantic dinner. Food is great, a bit pricey but definitely worth it!
Great variety, quality and fresh. Amazing Indian food!! Highly recommend this restaurant!!!! Had beef Kashmiri with rice, pudina paratha and shared the tandoori platter-incredible food!!!
Best Indian in western suburbs! The staff are so incredibly lovely, friendly and always give the greatest service. Their food is delicious and priced so well. Definitely recommend.
good and delicious food. service is usually quick. dishes to try are tandoori chicken, sheek kebab, chicken biryani and most of their curries are good.
Hidden Essendon Gem. I've only ever eaten take away from here and I don't eat chicken so I can't comment on the tandoori side of things but this restaurant is amazing! Very generous sizes compared to other Indian restaurants. When I go in to pickup my meal the staff are always lovely and the setting is very warm and cosy.
Mixed Pakoras are always a hit, comfort food to the max but still very light.
Vegetable Korma is creamy, veges aren't the most amazing but I love a korma gravy
Mango Lasi's are done well and a side of tamarind chutney makes everything perfect
Very relaxing environment, maybe prices are a bit high compared to other places and will be prefect if reviewed.
However, it is an experience to enjoy, the music, the friend staff tick the boxes.
Will recommend the place and food is yum
We just had a lovely experience all round. The staff we so friendly, they had no problem providing vegan options and they made just about the best garlic naan I've ever had! Incredibly tasty curries. We'll definitely be going back.
New again just reopened
Food good
Amazing amazing amazing food, service is exceptional and always delivers on taste!! Every mouthful is an explosion of flavour and culinary experience. Why go anywhere else when you have Ameer near!!
The 17 years I've lived in Melbourne I've looked for a genuine classic Indian restaurant, lo and behold I've found it in my own back yard.
We visited 6 months ago and loved the food and amazing customer service 👍
I was a bit sceptical of this restaurant as the reviews do vary however we were pleasantly surprised! We ordered the banquet and it was amazing. Great Value for money. The staff were all so lovely and went out of their way to make it a great night for us. It was my husbands birthday and the owner even came out to wish him well. Will definitely be back!
