my sisters and i used to frequent this place and their food was always really good
First of all delicious food . 1st time I tried Pakistani resultant I tried duo non veg combo meal . It contained 2 seekh kabab, 6 pieces of chicken boti, karadi chicken gravy , 2 butter naan, salad, raita and two soft drink can of your choice . Only your somewhere around 25$ . Amazing for price and totally worth it . The seekh kabab was the the best kabab I tried .
Must try .
Starters, Curry prep & presentation is very authentic, flavorful & tasty
Naan can have more varieties & should be more softer, have to fight to tear apart the naan
Ordered combo. BIRYANI & CHICKEN KARAHI were great. But SEEKH KABAB & CHICKEN TIKKA were not up to the mark. NAAN was also good. SERVICE is ok.
Yummie food with lots of traditional flavour. Chilli naan
is too good. I like the way they cook the food. Meat is always cooked so well. Juicy and tender.
Always a lovely experience here. My girlfriend and me always get the saffron rice and butter chicken and one other main. Can't recall the name but the kebab meats were amazing. So soft, aromatic and flavorsome. The chilli garlic naan is absolutely exquisite. Sold out last time though which was a shame! Always coming back here!!
Oh yeah the service is fantastic too. So me and my girlfriend are of South East and East Asian appearance but we feel very much at home here. We hope our Chinese and Vietnamese counterparts visit here to experience your wonderful food. I've recommended bonfire cafe to all my friends.
Shinwari, both Lamb and Chicken, is a must try... such a desi meal topped with a Kulfi was like a time machine that took us back to Lahori Food Street and Pashawari Namak Mandi :D
Value for money super nice food and very friendly staff 10 out of 10. All I can say if people are complaining there is something wrong with them they're never gonna be happy without complaining keep up the good work Bonfire 👌👌👌

Greetings from BonFire Cafe - Springvale. Not being too familiar with Indian cuisine, my partner and I decided to go safe and order the well known 'Butter Chicken' at this clean and inviting restaurant. The chicken was cooked to perfection - very tender and juicy. We decided soak the flavourful butter chicken sauce up with some 'naan bread'. Might I add - the naan bread was piping hot when it came out as it was homemade to order! SOO GOOD. Back to the butter chicken - it was mild in spice, which was good considering that we don't have spicy food often. The addition of the thin yoghurt sauce was able to assist in soothing our pallet if need be. The random side salad was unnecessary. We didn't order rice as being of ethnic background it's a staple at home and surprisingly the amount of food we received was PLENTY!!! We were provided with take away containers and gladly walked out with our left-overs in hand. YASSSSS... I don't have to cook tomorrow! The only down side of tonight's festivities was the limited choice of beverages (no diet soft drink options at all) and the timing of our meals - which was a little over the place. Will come back though!
Have been coming to Bonfire for many years and have never had a bad dish. We eat Pakistani food regularly and can say the flavour is authentic. We generally have the Trio Combo as it's great value and has a bit of everything to try. Our firm favourites would be the chicken karahi, chicken tikka boti and seekh kebabs. Nihari and chicken handi are also great to try. We've always had speedy service except for when we had a large group (15 people). Service isn't anything special however they have always been nice when you make conversation with them. Havs recommended to a few friends and family and they have all lovef the food. Rating is for the food, rather than service and venue.
My friends and I have been coming here for a couple of years now and we've always had a pleasant experience. Food is always fast and hot. Owner is friendly aswell. Would recommend to those seeking a true indian/Pakistani feast.
I've seen this restaurant a number of times but never actually gone in, until now. Being welcomed by the friendly staff made dining here a great experience. The meal was AMAZING. Traditional Indian food done very well. Thanks guys!
Normal sized restaurant but what matters for me is food and they serve Fantastic food...... specially karahis and BBQ.... recommended ......
Zabardast food and service as always.... very much satisfied. Recommend to everyone'...............'..........'.............................
Fantastic food n service. Highly recommended. I tried Supreme combo and i loved my food till the last bite............... will go there again
Great food and it's always same. Always been happy to try their food. Love their trio combo and have been regular for. Also the salad comes with it is always fresh. Wish it could be bit bigger though. However thumps up to this cafe.
I was very impressed with the food here, I come and eat maybe twice a week. It is very affordable and very authentic. I love Indian/Pakistani food. Service is very good and the staff very welcoming. The menu is good and food excellent. I would give this business a very high rating. I recommend that you try it.
It was my first time here. The food is really nice and love the customer service so much, I ordered the briyani rice and its more than my expectations. Will come here again next time

A visit to this restaurant has been on the cards for a long time as one of our friends had been there and suggested it’s a good place to try North Indian and Pakistani cuisine. The Bonfire Restaurant (the café in the title is a misnomer!) is located in Springvale and is a rather small place nestled among many other Indian, Asian and fast food joints. The place is more famous for takeaways rather than dine-in due to the small space and not so appealing service. The food leans more heavily towards Pakistani style of cooking which is rather similar to the cuisine of old Delhi and parts of Punjab and North Frontier.
Brilliant food. I went with my family and really enjoyed every bite of the food. The served quantity is generous. The staff is helpful. The guy behind the cash counter was very friendly. The chicken kabab was delicious. Will surely recommend this place to anyone.
I really like the food specially authentic Pakistani. My favourite is lamb karahi, chicken handi, chicken tikka boti karahi and many more. Food taste is awesome and delicious.
Good Rustic Food. Went to the café with family and ordered chicken kadhai, chicken boti, some nans and lamb kebabs. The flavor of the food was rustic, just as have had in the many roadside restaurants in India. While being a predominantly Pakistani cuisine, the flavor is different from other Indian restaurants in Australia. While the flavor was quite authentic, the service could be improved quite a bit by following basic operational protocols. I did not find the staff rude, only stretched due to any number of reasons I am not privy to.
Overall a satisfying experience for the price paid. Kebabs were cooked just right - not overcooked.
Having read the reviews I had mixed feelings comming here, we received acceptable service, timely and efficient though a little sterile. My dining companion advised me that this may be cultural. We orders some kebab and they were very flavoursome and made well. The presentation of the dishes was plain and they took a little while to arrive. This was an ok place to visit but a little over priced. TLDR; food tasty service was ok a little expensive.
Great food but bad service for dining in. We had to wait at least 5 minutes for someone to seat us. Then we were told to stand aside as they wiped the mess of the table but there were still oil stains remaining on our table.We ordered the Supreme Combo for around $50 which was a 10 minute wait. The food itself was delicious and was relatively valuable for $50.
Overall, I recommend BonFire Cafe for take-out because of the delicious food but not for dining in because of the bad service.
Service is ordinary however the food is extra ordinary, just love it!!
You have to pay for water. But food is good.. Great food especially if you want something different to the standard butter chicken, rogan josh etc. Only complaint is that you can't have tap water and have to buy bottled water. This is not good customer service

Awesome authentic Pakistani Cuisine... Value for money... Really tasty food.. Try the CHICKEN TIKKA BOHOTI. Awesome
Really like the food here. It's different from other Indian restaurants. Very Tasty and tends to get busy at dinnertime. Try the lassi :)
Authentic Pakistani Food. This place is a food lovers paradise. They do the BBQ on the Charcoal and it reminds me of the Kebabs, Tikkas & Karahi which I used to have in Pakistan. The closest barbeque experience to the real thing. Heaven for all the Pakistani/Indian food lovers. But be warned, the food is a bit spicy :)
Yummy food. The chilli garlic naan and the chicken handi was awesome...
Will go back again...
A nice change. Very tasty food and reasonably priced. The lamb sheek kebab was so moist and flavourful. Clean restaurant and pleasant staff.
This restaurant is super awesome!
All the foods have relatively strong taste, but still can be perfectly tasted. It is yummy! Especially for the lamb-based foods. The place is not so big, but well decorated and have a high chair for the baby. So it is highly recommended. And you know what, they are halal certificate!!
So it is perfect!
- Amazingly delicious food
- Excellent, friendly and welcoming staff.. always smiling..
- service is quick and great..
