I went to this restaurant for dinner with my family. The portion sizes were poor, food was oily and tasteless, service was average, ambiance is plain bad and the price just not worth it. moreover i had searched their details over the internet, but when i tried, their phone number was incorrect and their website was out of order.. overall...

Sadly, this gem of a restaurant is not at all what it used to be. I wrote a great review two years ago, but lots of things have changed. The spices don't seem to be freshly grinded, the meat is not as tender as it used to be...it was a big disappointment! Basically now it's just a regular take away,... More

In 25 Dec, most of the restaurant were closed and outside was chilly but luckily we found DHAKA and consumed a wonderful dinner there. We ordered the Prawn Tandoori, lamb Madras, Chicken Curry, Plain Naan (bread), Kashmiri rice (yellow colored) for 2 person. The sauce is authentic and the food is fresh (not the ones ready made for traveler). The... More

Ate out here last weekend on Saturday evening. Very friendly service. Seems like possibly family operation, in a small shop, with colourful decor, plastic tablecloths etc, which made me feel that it must be all about the food here, and we were right. I felt like I was eating a relaxing, casual dinner in their living room, prepared with passion... More

Excellent restaurant. The Goat curry, Butter Chicken and parathas were excellent, and the pappadams and veggie curries were a real treat too. Prices reasonable, atmosphere very good, service top notch. Once I had just walked in for a quick lunch and have been going there for lunch everyday ever since. Have recommended this restaurant to a few friends and all... More

Some of the best Indian food I have ever had, I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. A very small premises obviously aimed at the take away market, but there are a few tables. Don't let the unimpressive decor put you off, grab a table and enjoy the friendly service and fantastic food. I've tried quite a number of dishes... More

We were reading the menu outside the front door when the chef came out and invited us in. At first we thought it was a bad sign, but the guy was so smily and really nice that we went back and took a table. It was the best food in that style ever tasted in Melbourne. This place just cannot... More

While staying at the Grand Chancellor on Lonsdale St recently, I saw this crummy looking Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant a few doors down. When in need of some lunch, I thought "the best food is sometimes served in the most ordinary looking restaurants!" The place is small and has only seating for maybe only 14. As mentioned the atmosphere/ambiance is all but... More
