Lovely place with great service. wine and spirits not overly priced.

Great samosas...would order again. Nan ok but not fluffy..they cut up into little triangles..nan should be served whole for us to rip apart...for our main i ordered the fish korma ...absolutely lovely fish..tender rockling..sauce was bland though...no depth of flavour....my husband ordered butter chicken ... great you can pick breast or thigh...great quality chicken but again sauce bland. not sure if it was chef on the night but no depth of flavour...tasted like nothing....i want to come back as quality great but a little more flavour is needed.....

The Roti Man has become a regular place foe us when we visit Melbourne. The staff’s attention to service is refreshing. It is not too much to ask to keep you glass filled with water. The engage in friendly conversation but do not overstay their welcome at the table. When it comes to the food I struggle to find the words. This place is excellent, the food is better than any other Indian place I have had before. Tonight I had okra, you need tomtry this, it is just beyond words. What I did enjoy was thet medium heat was medium, not very hot passed as medium.

Do yourself a favour, visit the The Roti Man!

Beautiful atmosphere primarily driven by the brightly coloured suspended ceiling with gorgeous pendant lights. I went for the usual garlic naan and butter chicken pairing which never fails to delight the tastebuds. This wasn't my favourite curry ever but I definitely enjoyed the meal and the magical interior made the night feel special and memorable

We had a very pleasant experience at The Roti Man.

The decor was magical (like we were somewhere in India) especially the pendants. Staff were attentive & lovely to us & other patrons. Food was tasty (& we thought the best Indian in Melbourne, we have tasted so far). Roti's were absolutely mouth watering. Nice wine choices available.

A positive experience including an affordable price tag. (Sorry, enjoying the experience, so forgot to take photos).

The Roti Man is a stalwart in Middle Park. It is a large Indian restaurant that has been there for many years. There are all the standard Indian offerings, as well as a few left field options like vegetable chettinadu or okra curry. We went as a big group so ordered lots of different curries to share. Everything was very tasty, but our favourite was definitely the eggplant curry, it was delicious! The staff are very friendly and accommodating, including catering for a 16 month old baby, and they made sure we had a fabulous night!

Had a takeaway which was excellent. Great flavours across a range of dishes. Couldn't fault it really, although there was a little too much sauce and too little meat in the dhansak.

We'd been told our booked table had been moved to make room for a large group before we arrived at The Roti Man. As it turned out the entire front room was filled by the event. We were in a smaller back section which  featured similar decoration with brightly coloured material hanging billowing below the roof and matching colours on the walls.

The best Indian that I've had in Melbourne! Since moving to Melbourne several years ago I have been searching for some great Indian food and have finally found that at Roti Man. Service was great, the restaurant isn't terribly fancy but the food more than makes up for it. It's not too expensive and there's an option for take away also.

Not bad food, good service. I searched here from Urban spoon and was craving for some good Indian food.
I always decide on the food by trying the most common dish in any restaurant.
So I ordered the Goat biryani which is common in most Indian restaurants and it is important to cook it real hot.
Also tried the eggplant curry which was average..

Any ways the result is possibly one of the rare above average biryani I have tried in Melbourne ( yet to find the best)
the service was good and accommodating.

overall I will be going here once in a while when I feel like some Indian.

I've been going to the Roti Man, in quaint Middle Park for the past 9 years, it's always been a favorite of ours. The last few months they have revamped it, and I love it! The food and staff is still brilliant, but the surroundings are so funky and Bollywood. Love the music and the aromas of the restaurant. We love sitting in the courtyard in the rear, and the captain, Sunny is REAL character lol
They also deliver, we live in Port Melbourne, so twice a week we have to have our Roti Man.
Best Indian in Melbourne by far

Great Curry House. As an English person in Australia, its very hard to find a good curry house, but The Roti Man has certainly exceeded expectations. We called here, at the recommendation of a fellow Pom, and were not disappointed. We only had takeaway, but the service and food was good, quick and well priced. Next time we will definitely have a sit down meal.

Middle Parks Finest. The boys at The Roti Man know what they are doing. In an area dearth of quality, they produce great food in a friendly environment.

The butter chicken and lamb korma, my Indian measuring sticks, are on point. The only poor dish I've had there in half a dozen visits was a calamari special. If you stick with the mainstays you cant go wrong.

Also load up on Roti. Obviously they know how to kick a goal there.

My only other criticism is it's a little pricey for medium size servings, but what isn't expensive these days.

Can't get enough!. My local curry and I can't get enough. Great taste, friendly service! If you like it hot, ask for the chilli pakora's to get you started. If not stick to the butter chicken and enjoy the rich taste.

Delicious food, erratic service. We loved all of our food, including the surprisingly good roti desserts.

The service was a bit bizarre: the food was brought in only one plate at a time, and most of the waiters had either bored or confused expressions on their faces.

Pretty good solid Indian. We had two Korma curries, chicken and beef. Pretty good, nice sauce and decent servings. The waiter even advised us to stick to the small rice and he was right. Can take a while to get the food but that is okay if it is well cooked which this was. All their breads are fantastic! Wine was so so, service pretty good. Note they have outside dining front and back so you might want to try that when you book.

The place was busy on a saturday night which is always a good sign when you first walk in. I like my food and coming from the UK l like my curries so I was keen to try the place. We had the lamb samosa and to start and that was very good: pastry was thin and spicy and the lamb filing had some nice flavours. For mains we had butter chicken and lamb madras. Good sized portions and both were tasty. The nan bread was really good, nice and soft a and fluffy. All in all its certainly one of the best indian restaurants on melbourne. Only other comparable one I can think of is Bombay by night on north road.

Absolutely delicious, best Indian cuisine in Melbourne!!. Truly delicious, favoursome, quality Indian cuisine and dining experience. You can really taste the ground spices in each dish. The Sali Boti lamb curry with apricots, topped with lightly fried shredded potato, was an absolute taste sensation! I savoured every mouthful, with a slight resemblance to that famous When Harry Met Sally scene.

I loved the coloured saffron rice and the presentation of the dishes in Kadai bowls (like a rose gold bowl). Adds a majestic feeling. The decor is quite large, warm and inviting, with lots of colours. Most importantly, the owners are so friendly - they seem to know everyone who walks in, and there are always people waving at them through the window.

I truly recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants a quality Indian cuisine experience!

Sensational Food!. The Roti Man in middle park is the best 'British Style' curry house you'll find in Melbourne. Having lived in the UK for a long time, and being very disappointed in what Melbourne has to offer curry wise, I was delighted to try out The Roti Man after friends suggested and praised the food.

My 8 year old daughter is a real curry queen and she says its the best she's had in Australia too.

Good quality food, great value. This restaurant provided an excellent meal at a reasonnable price.
The butter chicken was made of breast pieces, visibly marinated for a long time (colour had gone deep inside the meat) and barbecued perfectly. The chicken korma was made of thigh meat stewed long enough to fall apart. Both were perfect, with serving sizes large (~$21 each).
The roti bread was also outstanding, and so was the mango lassi made freshly on our request.
The only disappointment was the safron rice! Dry and in clumps, it must have been coming from an earlier batch. It did not really matter as the roti bread was so good and so big we had no problem mopping the sauces.
2 chicken to share + rice + 3 roti + 3 lassi = too much food for 3 people, at an overall cost of $65. Great value.

$7.50 for an "all you can eat" vegan curry, what more could you want? As a budget solo traveller I love this place personally, I know that some people might not think the quality of the food is that great but I say that you get what you pay for. Besides the food itself, the service here is always super fast and the staff are usually very friendly. Highly recommend.

Om Vegetarian, you are the best Indian shop in Melbourne. You are the one and only. You are unbeatable. I'm always very satisfied the amount/portion size you serve. Well done. In the whole Australia, you are the best Indian restaurant. I just ordered few minutes earlier today And again you did an amazing job as usual.

Om vegetarian is a solid indian vegetarian joint. I got the combo curry platter which came with a savoury pastry, three different curries and a drink. If I had to give some criticism it would be that the curries were a bit lacking in seasoning. Apart from that it's near impossible to beat the value you're getting here. 4/5
