Great overall experience - friendly and helpful over the phone for delivery as I didn’t know how much to order. Very happy with all the dishes we ordered - kids loved the butter chicken and garlic naan - husband loved veggie korma and I loved the saag paneer. The chicken was maybe a touch dry but it was great cut (white chicken) and the sauce made up for it - delicious!

Beautiful little cosy Indian restaurant owned by super nice & kind family. As far as I remember, been running here on High street since the 70's. It feels like you are at home eating in this cozy restaurant. Thanks for the delicious food guys

Good Indian that does a very good butter chicken with lots of chicken. Not the cheapest Indian you will find but the food is great with no issues.

It’s been almost a year since we’ve been here and nothing has changed.

I love a Butter Chicken... but their chicken was super dry this time.

The redeeming factor... that naan bread and sauce from the aforementioned meal. It’s outstanding.

I don’t know maybe I’m weird soaking naan in butter chicken sauce but heck. It was so good!

Visited this place in the previous week only. This is one of the best property of. The food was great and the drinks too. We ordered some of their specialities like tandoori platter and chicken makhani which is the best item in main course. The ambience and atmosphere is too good her. They also serve beer. Overall a must recommended place 👍

Amazing food! All staff are so friendly and are always incredibly accommodating. I let staff know I was vegan and they asked the chef to make special vegan naan bread for me. I have been telling everyone about the amazing food and wonderful service!
Best Indian food we have had in a long time! We have made this place our regular Indian!

Garlic Naan bread was the best i've ever eaten. And the waitress had no dramas making it dairy free. Heaps of vegan curries, i had the mushroom and pea and it was damn tasty. Thanks guys!

Came here for dinner with a group of friends - impeccable service and the food was absolutely amazing!
The lamb chops were cooked to perfection and the meat was full of smoky flavours and tender.
In addition havent been able to stop raving about the naans - appears to be cooked in a proper charcoal fired oven - not the gas stuff most of the other indian places use.
Would highly recommend this place to any fans of indian food - the food and the friendly service will blow you away!!

I have been a regular at this Indian restaurant fro the last 10 years. This is a pretty low key type of place. Great food, great service. I enjoy the starters samosa and pakoras and love the mains- I generally have Tandoori. Tried many places- this is the best and  has BYO  wine.

I have been coming back to this restaurant for over 15 years and it continues to surprise. Food is superlative and service charming. Just enjoyed a spicy prawn Masala with fluffy fresh rice and a soft unbuttered Naan bread and an excellent red from the upgraded wine list. Could not fault. I'll be back again!

Great little restaurant which serves delicious Indian food. The lamb chops and seekh kebabs are one of the best I have had. Their garlic nan is just perfect. Butter chicken had the right flavour, pretty close to what we get back home in Delhi. All this topped up with chilled kingfisher on tap. Highly recommended.

The best indian food in Melbourne. I wish I'd come here sooner! We ordered a variety of dishes and every mouthful was delicious, fresh and full of flavour.  The staff genuinely cared about our dining experience and treated us like family.  Will be making this place a regular!

This place took our fancy over Zomato with its 4.1 star rating, and didn't stop impressing us all night. Personable service, fresh ingredients, home made everything (we mean everything) and food to die for. If you are looking for authentic Indian cuisine and personable service from the owners themselves then this is the place to go!

A hidden gem on a not so hidden street! This indian restaurant is a must try for someone in or nearby the area. One of the finest, I have been to in Melbourne. Food was excellent. For starters, we had the Aloo tikki chaat (it was the best I have had in melbourne). We also had a shared tandoori platter ( i could only get Lamb chop and seekh kabab) no complaints as loved my entree's to the core. For mains, we had the aloo gobhi (a popular dish from back home), chicken acchari and the daal. The naan bread and parantha's were to die for. For dessert we had the gulab jamun (an excellent choice which was very delicious). Overall, a great decent place to go out with great ambience and even better hosts.

Best Indian takeaway! The menu caught my eye straight away when it says chicken breast used in the curries! Everything was really tasty, best onion bajhis. The only disappointment was the rice, bit overcooked but it wouldn't put me off ordering here again

India House is a great little restaurant on High Street. Primarily for the friendliness of the staff and authenticity and taste of the food. I've been to India many times and coming to this restaurant always gives me a bit of nostalgia when I talk to the staff and eat the food. It's family run, genuine and wholesome and always good for a family meal! Worth a look.

BIG FLAVOUR BIG VALUE!

Unlike alot of other Indian restaurants that are fitted out for take away, this place has a classy edge with big glass front and fully set tables.

The beef madras, which had a deep flavour and just the right amount of spice. I'm asian but don't normally prefer spice but can take it and it wasn't that spicy.

Chicken mahkani, had big lovely chunks of chicken breast, and although I'm usually a dark meat girl, the breast was still tender.

Tofu saag was bit milder in flavour but still lovely.

My picture did not do the tandoori platter justice. 2 lamb chops, 2 huge boneless chicken tikka pieces, two tandoori chicken pieces on the bone, and two lamb kebabs all on a sizzling plate for $24 was a steal!

We ordered both garlic naan and roti just to see the difference. Garlic naan was alot better. I was kind of expecting roti like how the Maylasians do it, but it was more like wheat pita bread toasted. Naan was more buttery and bready.

Lastly service was impeccable, Samir our waiter is a legend.

Oh and they have Kingfisher beer on tap... what more can you want!

Friendly staff, always greeted with a smile. Happy to suggest dishes if you're an amateur and turn up the heat if you want it hot.

Had the Aloo Tikka Chaat, Lamb Saagwala, Butter Chicken and a hot beef vindaloo. Usual sides of rice and nan. Had another lamb dish which I wish we could remember the name of. All were great, personal favorite was the vindaloo, especially if you like spicy curry.

Oh and the kingfisher on tap was the perfect recommendation by the waiter to accompany the meal.

Very highly recommended. I have been a regular at India House for years and for good reasons. This is as close as it gets to authentic North Indian food. To say that it is excellent, would be an understatement.

What I particularly love about India House is the consistency of their great food quality and their gracious service, which evidently comes from decades of relevant experience.

India House is unbeatable at what they promise to deliver - exceptional North Indian food, with the style, simplicity and substance that only they know how to combine. Bravo.

My Favourite. Having tried lots of Indian cuisine in my area, India House is the best by far. Mains may be $2 more than some places but 100% worth it. The Butter Chicken is rich & creamy with juicy pieces of chicken. I haven't eaten in yet, just takeaway & delivery.

The consistent quality of India House food is I keep coming back for. Have been coming here for many years and although this place has a bustling take away business, the friendliness of the staff and the service is something you miss out on unless you come in. They have the only charcoal tandoor in these parts, just that makes them stand out from the rest. Have recommended it to many friends who have recommended it to theirs. Will be back real soon.

If you are looking for Melbourne's best Indian food then go no further than India House. The food is cooked superbly, and the flavours come from fresh ingredients prepared by the most delightful hostess in any restaurant that I have visited. She is reason enough to eat at this establishment. Crisp white table cloths and a stylish decor are very inviting. The menu is extensive, the prices are highly competitive and the service faultless. A must visit....

Good local. We've been here 5 or 6 times and it's always good. We live close so it's very handy. Can often be quiet, but the take away is always busy, so people do like it. I especially love the Naan bread with the sultanas and cashews, I have to have it every time.

Amazing! For a restaurant that I have walked past so many times and there is never anyone in it, I was very surprised when I ordered takeaway from here. Everything was delicious and it was probably the best Indian food I have had in a very long time. Will definitely be ordering here on the regular moving forward!

If your looking for that authentic tandoori taste with your Indian, this is the place for you. The Burra Kebab & Chicken on the Tandoori Platter had so much taste Also, highly recommend the Goat Curry, the goat is still on the bone which adds to the taste experience The service is excellent and very friendly, had a great chat with the owner who catered for our needs in every way

food was pretty good as all other review say after reading and tried their food first time as takeaway. However the man served me picking up the food wasn't that friendly, no greeting no smiling that surprised me as normally customer service in Indian restaurants are nice. Probably because wearing masks? Oh just also wished them filled fully the pickles. Was just about half of it only(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`)
