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.
Also they have a indian grocery store. Taste is also good 5/5 ambience 5/5
Totally recommend this cafe to everyone ♥️♥️

Actual Rating: 3.5
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.
The Thali here is bloody awesome! All vegetarian too, which I don’t usually go for. The curries that come with the thali are always bursting with flavour although a touch greasy at times. The only fault I can find with the food is the temperature, turn up the Bain-Marie for the love of god!
Quality Indian groceries and cafe, GlenHuntly , cuisine - Indian. This cafe is attached to one of the oldest and best sourced indian grocery stores in Melbourne. They serve South Indian inspired dishes along with a wide variety of fresh Indian sweets and snacks like samosas etc. the taste is very authentic and a good option for a quick bite or catering for an event. The South Indian thali is quite flavorful and ofcourse too big for me to finish! It's one of the good ones for sure... go there to try the dosa (Indian savory crepes)... I can eat them anyday 😊. @qualityindiangrocery #rating3.5 #southindianthali #dosas #foodblogger #instablogger #melbourneblogger #vegbourne #lovefoodlivefood #glenhuntly #groceries
Good place to eat and value for money. Ordered weekend thali and along with some snacks. Every single curry is tasty and variation of North Indian and south indian curry at it best.
Been there few times good food with low prices, highly recommended for vegetarians. Had samosa pav and dahi bhalla it tastes quite close what you get back in India.

INDEX
-The Place
-The Choices
-What I chose
-Ratings
-Summary
The Place:
-Conveniently located near the Metro station, at Glen Huntly, simple and tidy.
-Prime busy spot in town, lively.
-Nothing fancy, small and neat tables
-If you seek a fancy restaurant, you will be in for a surprise
The Choices:
-Simple, not fancy appearance
-Neat, but not very organized display area for sweets
-Typical Indian "sweetmeat" shop, pick and choose
-The menu choices are a mix of finger foods/South Indian items and an offering of some well-known North Indian items, that have been made popular as "Indian". (North Indian/Punjabee cuisine, is now known as "Indian" in Australia)
What I chose:-The Weekend Indian Thali, see picture (pre-selected platter or assortment of prepared items such as bread, rice, curries, yoghurt etc)
-Standard Thali at $12.50
-Special Thali at $15.00 (2 extra curries seems to be singular difference)
-There is decent choice, but not exhaustive like famed Curry houses in town.
Rating: (The Good, The Average and The Ugly)
The Good:-Presentation: 10/10
-Quality: High
-The Yoghurt dish (Punjabee Khadee) and South Indian soup/Rasam -9/10
-Curries: 8/10
-Pongal (Rice+ Yellow Mung Lentil +Spice - South Indian steamed dish) was spot on 9.5/10
-The Cauliflower fry was full of flavor, delish! 10/10
-The Jalebi was a sweet bonus 10/10
-The Lentil cracker/Pappad and pickle completed the Thali
The Average: (please, can be done)
-Rice, small quantity only, One Roti/Chapati only, offer more please!
-Could offer more, I paid extra for a roti....
-Curries need attention, some simple, flavorful South Indian curries please!
-Raita: Bland!
The Ugly: (needs massive improvement)
-Tomato Lentil soup/Dal was an apology, needs attention!
-The Spiced Lentil + Veg soup or sambhar needs to be authentic, poor!
Summary:
-Well presented, well-prepared, most items, that is
-Overall: 7/10 for now
-Quality is good, except for some dishes, that let the "quality" Thali down, completely
-Was it worth $15 bucks? Not sure, though.
-Improvement needed, but a great start!
-Trust "Quality" will improve on "The Bad" & "The Average".
-For the Moment-Fingers X, yours truly sez.
PS: For your understanding/rating, on how Quality's Weekend Thali compares with an image of an authentic South Indian Thali from Southern India (served on a plantain leaf).
Really authentic vegetarian Indian food. No frills is the key here. Thalis are great value and very delicious. No issues with staff, but don't expect 5 star service. If the owner would spend some money on the fit out they would have a thriving Indian vegetarian restaurant. Not a great choice for date night or trying to impress. Still great value and great food. Mango lassi can be skipped (they must use fake mango syrup or something). Also the chai masala was ok but didn't have any sweetener, something I am not used to.
Hi
This glen Huntly based Indian cafe is one of my favourite spot to have breakfast, the front of house girl named Shruti is really friendly and quick. She never misses a detail and chef named Rohit is best prantha maker in town. Average price and amazing snacks.
{A} Upsides:-
1] Great Variety of Indian Stuff; probably the largest in MELBOURNE City Side.
2]] Convenient Location as lots of 1Hr Street Parking available on the same Road.
=========================Downsides:-
1] Prices NOT clearly marked; one is so overwhelmed with the variety that one does not realize the ACTUAL DAMAGES to your pockets till you are BILLED at the Entry/Exit
2] Short Staffed Business so one needs to queque up atleast 5-7 Minutes till it is your turn to pay and then one needs to be QUICK to pick and choose the Items one really NEEDS to buy at the Payment Counter!
=========================
*C} > SUGGESTION:- 4-5 Units of Price-Checking Machines installed with VISIBLE SIGNAGE :: WOULD BE A GREAT HELP for New Customers
Overall: A SATISFACTORY 1st Visit!
Very good Indian Grocery store with almost all the items s available in 2 or 3 different brands. They try to display the prices of all items but still that area could be improved
