We come here all the time for the curry, it’s delicious. For meat eaters and vegans alike. Michael is a champ, always on, and willing to make your night the best it can be. We once saw him single handedly serve an entire room when someone else much have called in sick, it was amazing.
The only reason this review isn’t 5 stars, is that sometimes the other staff can be pretty apathetic. But we continue to put that aside for the good and spicy times at curry cafe!

Melbourne has a lot of Indian food and they tend to cluster in certain neighbourhoods. Most Indian restaurants are a bit of a blah. We are so glad to have Curry Cafe in our neighbourhood. This place has become my go to place for Indian food. The spices are fresh and the food is generous and absolutely delicious. Meat was tender and the curry, omg, the curry was so smooth and buttery and full of goodness. We stuffed ourselves with so much, chicken takkan tin, lamb rogan ghosh, naan and rice. Loved every bite and we know we have hit a personal favorite when you catch yourself remembering the flavour a day after the meal. That is good sign of good food. The restaurant has very low lighting and can get noisy if it is filled up. But we got takeaway so it didn't impact us. Service was warm. The meal was also priced very reasonable. About $18 or $19 for each box of meat. Rice was fluffy at $4. We wanna go back again very soon.
6 Sept 2019 - we returned and we had the most delicious pork belly. I want to eat at this restaurant every week!
Had a lamb curry in a pot that was recommended by the wait staff. It was okay, good heat, bit tart, lamb cooked well - but not the style curry I was feeling that night. Would like to come back to try another style curry... the garlic naan is dope!
Really excellent curry. Meltingly tender meat in rich well flavoured buttery sauces, and the veggies in the veggie curries are perfectly done to keep their texture. The takeaway portions are generous enough to justify the prices. would definitely come back!
Best curry I’ve had in my life easily the lamb madras is something from another planet, amazing customer service and beers will be dining here everytime I come to northcote :)
Brought a Groupon voucher, was a nice meal, average size meals though, probably just worth the value you pay for the voucher. Won't be rushing back, but I would visit again as it wasn't that bad!
Great place for a casual yet intimate dinner, perfect for a casual date. Yummy food and reasonable prices. Need to make a booking at least a couple of hours before!

First time booked for 7 people - on time and super friendly. the food came in shortly after and was really good. The curries were like the westernised version of Indian curry. Very delicious. Specially butter chicken. The staff were nice and helping. Would definitely come back.
We ordered the lamb rogan josh, lamb madras and chicken tikka masala. The food was of generous proportions cooked perfectly and the taste ....Wow unbelievable! Easily the best Indian food we've ever had.
Highly recommend Curry Cafe. As Arnie says "will be back".
Absolutely amazing food! I keep ordering the same dish because it is so delicious and I don’t want to give anything else a go. Yummy vegan options, not too spenno 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽💖
Amazing food! Staff are friendly. The place is quiet small and can get really noisy and crowded.
Recommending to book a table before hand as they get super busy.
On a cold winter's night, it's preferable to sit indoors however the heaters outside were ok for us. The food was great but they portions could have been been larger. They did come out in a reasonable time though. I also wish they had more cocktail and alcohol choices.
Probably a little more pricey than your average Indian takeaway, but definitely worth it.
This is a gem of a restaurant down on the Westgarth end of High Street.
The food doesn't put a foot wrong with amazing flavours in everything we tried.
Lucky to have this one nearby!
Butter chicken, veggie curry, rice & naan. Brilliant poppadoms (that's important to me) and probably one of the most pleasant Indian meals I've ever had. A return visit is a cert!
I’ve been going to Curry Cafe with my family for the last 10 years. Every time has been a moment of joy, of family unity; a meal to be cherished. The flavours of the saag paneer, lamb madras, chicken tikka masala, and fish madras have enthralled me and embodied culinary pleasure throughout my formative years.
Now I’ve moved out from my family home, and I’m no longer in the locale. Today I woke up and craved one thing and one thing only - Curry Cafe.
Words cannot begin to describe how this meal made me feel. It was delicious, comfortable, culinary expertise. A tear reached my eye. I want to honestly say that me and my friend, who dined tonight, left in a state that could only be described as ecstasy.
Curry Cafe means a lot to me, and after all this time, it thrills me to know that they still put on a mean meal. I’m so happy. Thanks to the team who delivered such a wonderful experience :) it’s good to be back
Food: pretty tasty for my first time here. Great flavour and tender meats in the meals. Portions are also quite decent. The naan bread is also pretty good !
Venue/Service: great little spot in Northcote. Nice and cosy, with a great ambiance.
Wait staff were also super friendly, and offer great service.
