My score 4.0 stars. J got takeaway from here on Friday 3rd April. Service was ok, food took a while to come out but worth the wait.Asked for all dishes to be medium hot - they were quite spicy (which we enjoyed). Def deserving of a return visit! Eggplant masala ($15) – Yummy sauce, EP held its shape and had some nicely cooked spud too (not too much, so nicely balanced).Shahi paneer ($15) – Cheese was nice, good flavours, creamy but spicy.Bhindi (okra) masala ($15) – Lovely soft okra, tasty sauce. J thought it had a touch too much fenugreek, but I really liked it.Garlic naan ($2.50) – We got 2 and they were very garlicky and very good! Up there with the best we’ve had for quite some time.
Vegan butter chicken, rogan josh and naan were all super delicious. The place is cute and I'm thankful for the air con on a hot day. Staff are lovely and service was great.
Attentions Vegans* this has place has a new and extensive vegan menu! Heaps of your regular curries with fake meat options, eg rogan josh and a creamy vegan butter chicken. The vegan rogan josh was probably my favourite. Definitely coming back here even though I don't live in the area! 10/10 recommend for vegans.
Always delicious food, kind and lovely staff who provide great service. Restaurant looks wonderful as well. Would recommend for some great Indian food!
I am snobby punjabi food eater. Yesterday had Amritsari Naan with channey.. Guys I can bet my life on it. Such a wonderful yum Aloo naan I have never eater before. Make sure you eat when its hot and fresh.
Cheers
This is a great option for home delivery. The Chicken Saag is a personal favorite. The rice is always fresh and the naan is of generous sizing. Prices are a little expensive and as a result, I don't order from here as often as I would like - it is simply curry after all.
But out of the other options in the area, this places holds the most flavour. Oh and lookout, even the medium spice request packs a punch!
Got home delivery from Kitchen Samrat - fresh, tasty and didn't hold back on the spices! The naan and paneer tasted fresh, although the naan was somewhat soggy. The Punjabi Paneer's a winner, but the Karahi Paneer still had whole chunks of spices in it, and crunching on whole coriander seeds and chunks of ginger is never a nice feeling.
The desserts (kulfi and rasmalai) were good quality for a place that doesn't specialise in sweets, but went a bit overboard with their richness and spices.
Also, the delivery guy actually came 10 minutes early, which is always appreciated.
Overall, a decently priced option for Indian if you're ever in the West!
We have had delivery from Kitchen Samrat quite a few times now. It has been consistently good and is well priced. Tonight we tried the paneer pakora for the first time. Absolutely delicious. The chicken saag is tasty and the red kidney curry unexpectedly good. Give Kitchen Samrat a go. You won't regret it.
This is a great little cozy spot for a weeknight dinner, I had fond memories of this place and after an absence of over a year it didn't disappoint. There's a large selection of dishes and the staff are attentive and keen to promote their specialities.I wholly recommend the chilli chicken!!

36 Leeds Street Footscray VIC 3011 The better half wasn't feeling great but was still keen on a spicy curry so we decided to give a takeaway from Kitchen Samrat a try as we hadn't eaten there before. After placing an internet order and waiting the requisite 30 minutes I arrived to find a very quiet restaurant. It was another 10 minutes before the meal was ready, then it was back on the bike to get the boxes home! The mushroom masala was cooked with onion and capsicum and the flavour was a little too sweet for my preferences. We asked for the chicken saag extra spicy, and there was certainly a good amount of spicy bit in the smooth spinach sauce. The channa masala didn't look the best in it's container, the chick peas were cooked in traditional north Indian spices. The dish was a little more watery than versions we've had before but came packed with a kick. The plain naan was good without being spectacular. After discounts the bill came to $ 27.9, which is great value for 3 dishes, and despite the slightly long wait at pick up I'd certainly be happy to give a few more dishes on the menu a try...
Really like it cheap prices n quick service butter chicken curry is out of this world worth trying definately try again n again *
Excellent value for money, great friendly staff, delicious food, I'LL BE BACK

Veg Korma. The vegie korma is the best, creamy and delicious! And the home delivery is great too. Sometimes they can be hotter than you order though, so be careful!
Very friendly service and yummy, cheap food.
Best Indian in Melb. I used to go here all the time before I moved from Footscray. I found the service to be friendly and informative but not overly fussy (which suits me). The food is priced well and delicious with something for everyone. I had a birthday here with a group of people recently, all with different tastes and everyone raved about the food. It is the best Indian place I have come across in Melbourne.
The Samosa Chaat is a standout!
Good food good service. Had the meat thali. Good quality curries - as good as any other more expensive restaurants. Will definitely be coming back. They also sell Haywood's beer $5. Excellent value
Just loved it. I have been on two occasions to this restaurant-firstly with my husband and secondly with my daughter and grandson. On both occasions staff were very friendly and food absolutely delicious. Takes a little while but oh so worth it. The Kashmiri naans are to die for and just loved the various foods that we sampled. We ate far too much and servings were very generous. Went home with very full bellies and recommendations to other family members and friends to try. One little 'complaint' - the pappadums were so thin that they shattered when we were trying to eat them-but only a very minor complaint. Would certainly recommend this palce for a hearty meal and reasonable prices.
Prices are cheap and delivery is quick(Kensington). Food is a bit on the oily side but is a good back up for a Friday or Saturday night when you can't be bothered cooking. They always toss in something extra like a salad or some chutney or extra rice. Breads are good too.
Had the punjabi chicken, so good!! If you can eat hot get it hot. And 2 free nann with each dish, great value.
Surprise packet. Our taste buds exploded with satisfaction the first time we ordered takeaway from here. Now we make a point of dining in and enjoying the service too.
This place punches well above its weight. Delicious food and at very very good price.
I'm originally from Perth and there are places there like Chutney Mary's and Nine Mary's that would only dream of making food this delicious and charge 4 times the price for it.
Go Samrat!
The best Indian food in Melbourne?. I've been to this hidden gem many times with friends, or just for a quick, healthy bite in the middle of the day. What makes this place so special is a combination of things which include:
1) The best (worst) of classic Bollywood playing on shaky CRT TVs, reminds me of growing up in South East London in the late 1970's/1980's. Retro Indian, what's not to love?
2) The staff are amazingly friendly, and really well versed with the rage of food they offer. Although, being a Londonder, I love my curry hot, they cater to a huge range of tastes, from the more exotic Balti curries, to the run of the mill tikas and marsalas that most people are aware of.
3) Take away is every bit as good as dine in. 'Nuff said.
4) I can walk there in 10 minutes! Footscray rocks!
The food is always delicious and very cheap. I eat here all the time and am never disappointed.
Great food Good people. It suddendly occured to me to try indian food. I called this place. the service was prompt and the food Excellent.
Great food,Nice ambience. The food is really delicious and really worth a try
I've heard Kitchen Samrat's curries criticised for having too much gravy and not enough meat, but I love the fact they are really saucy.
Stopped in for dinner, the eggplant masala and butter chicken were delicious! Definitely looking forward to going back for more 👌
Consistently the most amazingly delicious food every time!
I originally ordered from Kitchen Samarat because they gave an extensive vegan menu but friends assured all options of dietary selections are equally as awesome! I cannot speak more highly of my favourite dish the vegan "lamb"korma I've had many a dishes all delicious but highly recommend this number. Whichever one chooses i doubt disappointment will fall on your palette! Get it it yourself!!
The restaurant is really good especially the quiet, low lighting theme. The food is tasty too with a great customer service and music.
I would be giving at least 41/2 rating but deducted 1/2 rating just because the time to serve food is some what I felt took a bit more time but again if you are with your partner and would want to talk on stuff, then you wouldn’t mind it.
The food is very yummy!
i love this place! so many vegan options available and always exceptional customer service. Would recommend to anyone wanting tasty Indian food at a affordable price.
Unreal!!!! Amazing vegan menu too- the Vegan Butter Chicken was incredible (full extensive menu available- wow) don’t get the hot though unless you want to be on fire
Beautiful sauces, wine was great quick service and would definitely become a regular!
Lovely food at a decent price given the large portion sizes.
My table ordered chana masala and lamb vindaloo with naan. Both dishes were delicious.
Service was very fast as we dined during the pre-lunch rush.
Staff were friendly and polite.
I would definitely come back to this restaurant.
