Our first venture out since Covid and this hit the spot. Wonderfully warm service, great tasting menu (excellent value) and The Vegetarian was very well catered for. We'll be back for pizza next time!
Delicious lunch thali options. Curry and naan are freshly made. Service are quick too. Would come back for sure
Best ‘in-authentic’ Indian in Melbourne. These dishes are so full of flavour. Rich, slow cooked curries, and modern takes on traditional street food. Favourites are the dense and silky Aunty Dahl, fragrant prawn curry and the balls of happiness are a serious mouth full of flavour. Oh and the spicy cauliflower is a must try too!
Went with a friend for lunch. Had summer thalu, reasonably priced and good portion, you can add naan to the thali if you want.
Good decor and easy to locate. Staff is friendly and its a recommendation to book in advance as this place gets quite busy during popular hours.
A good place to be
Cheers
I was quiet sceptical while trying an Indian place as most of them tend to disappoint. But I should saw this place was amazing. Good food that I will recommend. Naan was the highlight and so was the papdi chat. Although just one little feedback “batata wada is not from south India but is a Mumbai street food”

We booked our dinner at daughter in law, as the restaurant is a self proclaimed "unauthentic Australian Indian" - making me laugh.
Ordered:
🍱 Tasting menu: Chef's selection of a variety of appetizers, curries, naan, rice and dessert ($55.00)
Review:
By the time we got to our main dish, the delicious and expansive thali, my friend and I were incredibly stuffed from the 5 appetizers that came before it!!
Be warned: they do offer oysters as an appetizer but if you can't stomach the thought (like me) they're happy to swap you out for a vegetarian number 😎.
The thali main was easy to eat. It was fun trying to see what matched with which, i.e. does the naan go better with the butter chicken? Maybe the lentils?! Maybe the other curry here...
Papadum was a little too flakey for me and the texture reminded my friend and I of prawn cracker. We were hoping to get the thin snappy flatbread, but getting thin prawn crackers look alike was not a loss.
Looking around, chef's tasting menu seemed to be the most popular choice so I would also recommend you get it if you were coming here.
The interior is super modern, with a projector playing snippets of an Indian drama. Super fun and a great conversation piece. Service was also decent, but they forgot about us for a while as we sat there waiting for our final dessert lol.
The food was very nice and a good twist on other Indian restaurants. The lack of service almost ruined our night and we almost missed our theatre show. But the food definitely made up for it
We were recommended here by a friend and have to admit the food did not disappoint. We started with beetroot yogurt kebabs and the scallops. The scallops were lovely and delicate but the yogurt kebabs were excellent.
For mains we had the Delhi ka channa and the black lentils with an assortment of breads. The channa which is essentially a chickpea curry with good dose mango powder which gave it that wonderful punch. The black dal was a bit sweet to our liking.
We finished the meal with kulfi and gulab jamun. The desserts were ok would have preferred to see something different then the age old traditional dessert. Overall an excellent meal, attentive service and good quantity. However I would recommend making a booking prior to going.
Has an absolutely delicious dinner at Daughter-in-law. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was diverse and full of flavour. We shared the balls of happiness , the scallop ceviche, the trout and tuna crudo, the butter chicken, the zucchini and pomegranate salad and the mixed plate of naan filled with goats, blue and cheddar cheese. I couldn’t fault any of the food. The starters were light and fresh and the curry and the naan was warm and satisfying. There was a bit of a stuff up with our order ( it was forgotten about) but the staff were incredibly apologetic and were very generous when sorting out the mistake.
A couple of service issues - had to ask multiple times for water, mixed up the drinks order - but that was outweighed by the food! Happy to put it down to a bad night for service.
Out of lockdown and this is the first place I met friends at to catchup. Great food and there were plenty of it! We had the Tasting Menu and it was really great value. Only comment is, the music was too loud to have a nice conversation without shouting.
Loved this experience and would come back! The atmosphere was great. Loved the decorations and lively vibe. Cocktails were pretty decent. We had the set menu so got to try lots of items, including the curries. Everything was full of flavour and quite unique. The cauliflower and tandoori chicken were stand outs!
Such a great restaurant. It's a remix of Indian meets fine dining. The food is just par excellence. The presentation is a visual delight to the eyes and the ambience of the place is just beautiful. I had the tasting platter which included a mix of everything and would easily fill a person. It's a wonderful place for those who love Indian food but with the essence of fine dining. A strong recommendation.
Came here for the office Christmas lunch which had a fixed menu. The food was very nice I’d have to say. There was plenty of flair, flavour and variety and more than enough food for everyone. The staff tried very hard in testing circumstances. The decor is quirky and quite attractive in an unusual way. Overall price was pretty good, I thought. I’d happily come here again anytime.
This place is the vibe!
I went with a group of friends and it was perfect, music on, good vibes, nice drinks and delish food. Also, the decor is so so great. Love the pink vibe and everywhere has something appealing to the eye.
Balls of happiness was the start of the night!! With no doubt, it’s a must!!
We enjoy ourselves and had a great time. Definitely recommend to my friends.
The only issue is that is quite hard to contact them if there’s any change of bookings.
Other than that, great great great!

Pleasantly surprised by this joint! Wasn’t sure what to expect but I really rated the food, drinks and service. We did the feed me menu which was decent and they offered extra naans and curries to ensure we were very full when we left. Would come back!
