We always land up coming here for a bite after an extensive Indian grocery shopping (as if that wasn’t enough :D ) This place serves a variety of Indian dishes and snacks along with Indian sweets and drinks. They recently started a fresh sugarcane counter which we yet have to check out! The Jumping Dumplings recommend: •Paneer Parantha - Fresh grated masala paneer in a thick roti and served with curd, pickle and butter..YUM. •Chole Bhature - You get a large sized Bhature and served with Chana Masala (and not the typical Chole), still a winning dish. •Masala Dosa - Another classic, but sometimes the potato filling inside is a little raw to eat. •Vada Sambar - Not amazing , but very decent. Snacks you must try - Bread pakoda and Samosa Drinks - Mango lassi, filter coffee and masala chai. On a couple of occasions the tea and coffee was really lukewarm, but when you ask them they will heat it for you. :)
Best Indian cafe in Melbourne.

I was in the Glen Huntly area and decided to try this place which seems to be in addition to a Grocery store with the same name. Walked in and the place although looked clean needed more attention from the staff as it was unkempt. At 4 pm on a Sunday they were already out of a few things which wasn't pleasant as they close at 9 pm, some of these items were Chole Bhaturey, and a number of Snack items. Decided on the Poori with Potato and the server up sold an extra poori to me which in hindsight was not needed. The flavor of the potato curry provided was very good although the poori's were full of oil as per the pic. Needed some more care and time when they were taken out of oil. In addition, there was no other side items like Pickles or Onions provided with the meal which made it feel really uni-dimensional and bland. I also ordered a Samosa & Paneer Butter Masala Curry for takeaway. I have to admit both of these were pretty spot on. The samosa was one of the best that i have had outside of India and when it was combined with the Sweet & Tangy Tamarind Chutney that was provided with it, it just was amazing. The curry was pretty good as well and had shavings of Cashews in it which provided a nice overall texture to the curry.
