The best fish vindaloo and saag paneer ever. I wonder why they are under 4stars. This place deserve to be rated higher. Good price compare to quality of food. I like modern atmosphere and good selection of drinks too.
Great spot on racecourse road & a good fallback option if you don’t feel like laksa king. Always had good experiences. 4 stars as the serving size isn’t very big so you need a few things to fill you up
Really good curries and naan bread! The restaurant is pretty cute, dimly lit and well set out. The prices were on point, super cheap costing just $34 for two people! in terms of service it was slightly lacking but easily overlooked for the quality food!!

Grabbed some takeaway while on the run. I tried ringing in advance but the phone rang out so dropped in. Order taken quickly by staff and meal was prepared in under 10 minutes. Although the cafe is average looking on the outside it’s clean inside. Delicious meal, chicken very tender and sauce fabulous. Curry was very good and was extra happy with the portion size. Thank you.
Delicious food. Ordered the chicken vindaloo thali at spice level no4. No regrets. Decided to sneak in a cheeky side of garlic naan for good measure. Yummos. Great hospitality and service from the owner. Can't ask for more from your local joints! :)
Went to Flemington for dinner on a Saturday night and everything was really busy, except for this place. Didn't expect the small curries to be so flavoursome and filling. I really like the naan and the thumbs up cola
My experience with this restaurant was special. I have tried most of indian restaurants in west melbourne and in CBD But Curry Cafe Canteen stands on top for me. I always missed good quality home made food in melbourne until the day I was introduced to THALI (in 2019). Since then my dinner and lunch was fixed here. It has been 3 years but still I can not have enough of Thalis even though I was having it 5 to 6 times in a week. Sadly I can not have it anymore as I am moving out.
One time I ordered thali from uber eats one hour prior to closing but there was no uber eats driver to delivery my order and restaurant was about to close, rather than cancelling my uber eats order, Chef came to my apartment to deliver that order. I mean who does that.
Service 5/5, Food quality and quantity 5/5, Huygen wise 5/5 (kitchen looks cleaner than most of other Indian restaurants), Kitchen and front staff 5/5.
Have been coming to this local for the past year or so, for their curries and samosa chaat. Curries are fresh and not at all oily (I'm surprised by other negative reviews), very spicy more than your average Indian joint.
Cash only unless you order online.

Very nice place, my new favourite Indian in Flemington. Food is fantastic and servings are generous. We had 1 entree, 2 mains, 1 nan and 1 rice, and we ended up bringing home some. Good selection of vegetarian dishes as well as chicken and lamb, but no beef, with craft beers in cans as a bonus amd very reasonably priced. The place is pretty small, worth calling ahead just to be sure. Staff is very friendly. Only mildly negative side, cash only payment.
Finally, a word of caution, careful with spicy food. I asked for a hot madras and almost melted off the chair, go for medium. Well worth trying.
