“Good Food Guide Where Are You !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Is this the best Indian restaurant in Melbourne ? In many ways yes . I do not think any other Indian restaurant in Melbourne or even Australia gets it right on so many levels . The service is always friendly , prompt and effecient The quality of the meats and vegetables in the curries is excellent . Each sauce individual , and delicious and they do try and adjust the spiciness of the food according to requests but one persons medium is another persons mild or even hot . Both the wine list and knowledge of wine that Jarrod has is equal to many sommeliers and wine lists in our 3 hat restaurants. The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance and is in a good location . Go there

“Not as good as expected”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

Went here based on reviews online expecting a fairly authentic, spicy experience.
Food was alright, but not anywhere close to what I would expect from the glowing reviews. Clientele was almost completely non-Indian which had me worried as you're almost guaranteed to see a good place busy with Indian ex-pats.
Servers had little idea about the food.. and it just became a question of accepting a mistake had been made, eating the food, which was fine, just not very good, and leaving.
decor wasn't great, but I could care less about that... have eaten plate after plate of ginger chicken off plastic tables and chairs with naan bread served by hand from a plastic laundry basket in downtown Jubail, KSA... decor doesn't matter when the 'aunty' flavour is in the food!!
Will keep looking for an authentic Indian experience.

Spent a very enjoyable evening of curry and wine with family on a quiet rainy melbourne night at the curry vault thanks to their very warm and welcoming service. Was the dining highlight of our weekend in melbourne.
