Hidden gem in Glen huntly
Gold Sweets is a super awesome place where staff is polite and welcome customers with smile. The food served looks amazing and tastes even better.
Their Amritsari Kulcha is must try. Also Chola Bhature, Pav Bhaji, Samosa Chaat are excellent and must try.
Actual Rating: 3.5
I was most impressed by the quality of Customer service, which in my case was top notch. It took a while for us to order and the waitress was patient with us and had a smile while we trawled through their menu. We ended up deciding on the Gold Sweets Thali and ordered a couple of puris extra. We thought we said it was takeaway but we forgot to say it and they brought the food out, when we requested to do a takeaway they happily did that as well. The food itself was good apart from the mixed veg which was a bit basic imo. Will try their other items on our next visit.
Walked in for a quick lunch and wanted to have a typical desi meal. We started off with a Vegetable Manchow Soup which was okayish. We got a Pani Puri plate which was a disappointment because of its quantity. The dish though brought back some memories. Delicious! We then went straight up with a Paav-Bhaji and a Chole Bhature. The Bhaji was one of the best I've had in quite some time now. Really amazing! The Chole Bhature were okayish. All over a good experience, would go surely go again for that Bhaji.
My fav!! It is delicious! Hands down the best Indian restaurant. Idk why people just make up a weird reason to not go there🙄. Their Kulfis r the best and their paans as well. I'm so far away from the restaurant though.
Gold Sweets - Glen Huntly, cuisine - Indian. This one is a pure vegetarian Indian restaurant and a great option to try different style of indian cuisines. The dish here in the photo is called - Rajasthani thali, which has delicacies from the western state of India - Rajasthan (one of the most visited places in India by international tourists). #rating3.5 #melbourne #vegetarian #glenhuntly #goodfood #restaurantreview #veggielife #veggielover #goldsweets
Fresh food which is delicious beyond words. Loved their specials for the day- we had the dussera special thali and Punjabi thali. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. It was all worth the money, a must try!
Gold !!! Good quality of Indian food serve by restaurant. Good atmosphere with Indian music.100% pure vegetarian restaurant. Best place for snacks,lunch & dinner. Chats & Sweets are delicious.
Windy cold Melbourne evening called for a spicy chaat and since we were in the neighborhood this place seemed like the place to be!
Raj Kachori chaat - Fillings are very tasty and well balanced but the Kachori itself a bit underwhelming.
Dhabeli - Would not call it authentic. Have had better ones in other places.
Vada Pav - The hero! Took me back to the streets of Mumbai. Vada was perfect and the fried green chillies complimented the dish very well.
Might as well try the Rajasthani thali next time (The dishes listed looked authentic)
good food, nice dal , tasty chaat , easy to pocket , its pure veg thats the best pasrt , the deseerts and cool chats are really nice , really the taste is very authentic indian ! low  rated , and not on tripadvisor ! very strange !Â
the food is damn tasty and chat is awsome ! everything is well presented and  the staff is very attentive !
Best place to try the Amritsari kulcha. Have tried all of the kulcha items on the menu and simply love it all. The food is fresh with authentic Indian taste. For vegetarians who love Indian food, this is a must try. The food is unlike many other Indian restaurants who have modified the food to western taste; which literally kills the essence of Indian food. This is something I can eat regularly and not get bored. Must try.
Though I'm not a vegetarian at all, but sometimes prefer to have some veggies in my diet.& I fell in love with this restaurant.the food tastes pretty good,moreover it's pure veg..the best part is their sweet dishes which is just awesome specially the falooda koolfi & gulab jamun with rabdi...love to grab some more desserts from this joint..
Gold probably is the best and most authentic Indian restaurant in the whole of Melbourne. Their chats are amazing, and servings are generous for the price charged. All of their items are great in taste. Staff is quite helpful as well.
This is a must-go place for desi-chat lovers.
They have a great variety of Indian items. Chaats, pav bhaji, kulchas etc. Loved the food and enjoyed every single bite. Waiting for the next visit to glen Huntly to go back to this place.
For the prices charged the food is incredibly good value. Fresh flavours and generous sizes. Nice looking restaurant too! Good indian snacks as well as regular curries
What a gem of a place. We went very late still they considered our order in closing hours and even gave complimentary Manchurian, now my below review is not at all biased on complimentary food...wink wink
Food is absolute stunner, very neat n clean place run by a family. Must try deluxe thali its simply woowww and Paan lassi was fab. Will surely visit another time to explore more options.
Cheerrss
It's 9.30pm on Saturday and that's when you're more likely to decide on an Indian restaurant to dine at, as some Indian restaurants in Melbourne have kitchens open till at least 10.00pm. We were welcomed when we walked in around 9.40pm and there was none of the usual hurried service you sometimes experience with other restaurants when dining late. I've visited Gold numerous times before for mithai (Indian sweets) and samosas when they were a sweet shop, but this was my first time after their rebranding as Gold Restaurant. For one they are a 100% vegetarian restaurant. Secondly their prices are set in between the very casual Clayton restaurants and the suburban Indian family restaurants. Last but not the least, the quality of their food was nothing short of excellent. Plus the pleasing interiors and smiling, genuine service by the waiters and the husband-wife team, and you've got a winning formula. I'm sure to be back at Gold soon...especially to try their $16.95 weekend chaat platter.
Nice and friendly indian restaurant next door. Not the most authentic food, but the best you'll get. Tried lots of things, loved them all. Been there lot of times, and will keep going back. The owners are nice and friendly, service is good, sometimes have to wait long time for food, but the food there is worth the wait.
Amazing aloo chaat and papdi chaat. Would be back to try the other dishes. My favourite chaat restaurant so far in Melbourne! Loveeeeeee it!
Never had such an amazing paani puri .. Made me feel like I'm back in Mumbai. Also I have been to this same place heaps of times always the food is nice n fresh. I will highly recommend to have amritsiri thali ..
Good North Indian food especially the thalis. Phulkas are soft and taste like the ones Indian mums make at home. Chats are great too. However if you order South Indian food then you are in for disappointment. The South Indian thali is quite tasteless. Rasam is not a rasam by any stretch of imagination. Sambar is tasteless and sabji they give is the same one as in a North Indian thali.
So big thumbs up for North Indian food but a thumbs down for South Indian cuisine.
This place is one of the best indian restaurant you can find, the quality of food is just brilliant and tastes really good too. Their pan kulfi is a must try dessert and their pan lassi too. Affordable price and friendly environment. Already been here 3 times and will comeback for more.
Mmmmm! I went here today for some lunch to take away. The service was friendly (although there was a twenty dollar minimum for the card machine which I think is too high). My takeaway was ready in about 15 minutes. I had the Batata Vada and Samosa Chaat. The Batata Vada's were so delicious, really fluffy and fresh tasting, just the right amount of heat. The Samosa chaat was good too, nice and fragrant, fresh tasting. I will definitely be back!
This is the owner of gold sweets dear customer we are not here take your $3.00 extra mistakes can always happen and this is ridiculous that you are calling us cheater and looser for $3
We really don't want customer like you, who thinks that small

A scan of the menu and I knew I was in for a treat. There were so many things to choose from, but I couldn't go passed the pav bhaji. Pav is a bread roll, that is toasted and smeared with butter, and bhaji is a potato and pea mixture that is slightly running in consistency, full of flavour from a special spice blend, and then unapologetically dripping with butter. The idea is that you put the bhaji in the pav and eat it like a sandwich, bit by bit.
Great chat!!. This place serves good chat and sweets. I have never tried thali there but most of the chat is good. I love chole bhature and kachori chat.
In sweets I love the caju katri there.
Although the place is tacky and the ambiance is not good at all. They should improve on their look and feel, cleaning and all. It is not welcoming to people who need more hygiene.
But it is suppose to be street food from India so I can still take it :-)
Authentic chats and sweets at this place. The new Thalis are also good. This shop is purely Indian with no western outlook so do not have a different set of expectations. But if you are missing the snacks from India, it will not let you down.
We had our dinner, Aloo tiki chat, Paneer butter masala n naans. All food was delicious n served well. The staff were friendly n cooked food as per our spice level. New management too, hope they will bring more choices of curries n snacks.
Absolutely love love love the authentic Indian food!! Hand made from the mother herself!! It was finger licking good. Staff is really familiar and it felt like we are at home having home made food. Definitely recommend this restaurant for Indian food specially. Will visit again.😊
It is hard to find Indian Restaurants that provide food that actually reach our expectations. But when it comes to Gold Indian restaurant without a doubt, they do it with the best ingredients. Not just the food, but also the management is stunning. …:))
First of all the restaurant has gone through a change of management from Mar-22 and the change was clearly evident.
The new owners and service is extremely warm (Gary and Harry) and accommodating. They cater even way beyond closing time and one feels privileged by their comforting service.
The food arrived within 20 minutes, it was freshly prepared and every curry had a distinct taste to it.
Would definitely love to visit this more frequently with new friends. Will add it to my top indian places and would recommend everyone to try and decide it for themselves.
All the best to the new owners Gary and Harry. Cheers!
P.S Kadai Goat must try
The service is brilliant under the new management and they make their samosas in house and taste divine. Never had any compliant, lovely food, service, ambiance. We had samosa chaat, chicken korma, butter chicken, tandoori roti and saffron rice. Everything tasted divine.
Gold has new owners and they have taken the food and hospitality to the next level! Not only are they great at typical North Indian dishes( just sampled home made Samosas and fried fish), they are very welcoming!
Fabulous family run business. The food is amazing and made to order. The hosts are very hospitable and the costs are reasonable. Great place for Indian cuisine.
