Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Walking by this hidden restaurant in the alley, made us getting in the mood for Indian food. About 7 tables were having guests and the happy owner came to our table with good energy. The tandoori-meals were all sold out, but there was enough left to choose. We ordered each the “Meat Thali” platter with several dishes combined on one plate: Butter Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh, Dal, given with Rice, Raita, Naan and Pappadum, together with two beers. The platter was OUTSTANDING fantastic! (Despite we had to wait for 45 minutes and the pappadum was missing), the naan was soft and fresh, the lamb and chicken very tender and very wel spiced and cooked. The Dal very tasteful and all very good combined! We got 2 complimentary beers for the extreme long waiting time, that’s customer service at its best! Would really recommend this Indian secret here in Melbourne. ;-)

Lunchtime sees Thali Specials - three curries, rice, raita, papadum, and roti. I chose the vegetarian version, although meat is also available. The price, quantity, and quality were all good. Service impressed. I was brought water without having to ask and a refreshing hand towelette finished of my meal. Even on a Friday, the lunch was not heavily booked.

Was desperate to find a good curry house during our trip down under and we definitely found it with this restaurant. The restaurant decor/styling isn’t modern or flashy and had it not been for the good reviews we wouldn’t have chosen to eat there but thank goodness we did as the food was divine. The curry was better than the Indian we get at home and the waitresses were very pleasant. For anyone looking for a good curry this is the place to go.

I went this with my 9 year old son who was dying to try Indian food. He wasn’t a fan, but hey, that happens…. I however felt it was quite average. The butter chicken was fine but tasted more like apricot chicken. The chicken tikka was fine, naan nice and mango lassi quite nice. However I did feel it was over priced ($28 for a small butter chicken, $25 for chicken tikka, $6 for 4 paooadums), probably because of the location. But the ambience was poor and setting quite uninviting. Food was fresh and fine, but I would try elsewhere.

A little disappointed in this place. The Google and trip adviser reviews seemed good so I went along to support someone with dietary restrictions but was disappointed in my own meal. I am a regular Indian eater and on this occasion had the lamb korma. I was expecting a solid flavoursome base with a creamy sauce and instead it was watery with little taste. The service was good but the food was not what I expected. The other person I was with with was happy with their meal which was the bonus for the evening but I left most of mine on the plate and had a cuppa soup when I got home. 😞

Was looking forward to eating here after reading good reviews, I was very disappointed. The lamb korma curry was tasteless and left a fatty residue in the mouth. Rice is expensive for what you get, tiny little dish of not so good rice. There was a male working there who was kind and helpful to customers (he did not serve us) he was the only positive thing about this restaurant. I would not recommend eating here.

Nothing gourmet about this place. Food is awful and tasteless. Tandoori chicken is inedible. So dry and chewy. So shocked to be served this dish I couldn't believe how bad it was. Garlic naan was mothered with a yellow substance, think it was gee & garlic. However it was disgusting. Chef special of prawns in curry was also terrible. Frozen prawns in a tasteless sauce. No flavor! Onion baji which I'v had many times was not traditionally onion baji - it was a spoon of dough deep fried. Rude staff. Nothing appealing here. Do not recommend.

An ideal place to enjoy traditional Indian cuisine right in the centre of Melbourne. This restaurant offers a change of scenery and a great culinary experience, with dishes that are just the right amount of spice. The service is fast. I recommend it.

We visited New Years Eve. We were in the area and a quick google search revealed this little gem! The reviews were great and we prepared ourselves for our gourmet meal. To say that we were disappointed would be an understatement - the only positive was the waiter, who was quite pleasant. The food ...... onion bhajis were swimming in ghee (?); the vegetarian dahl curry was tasteless; and the two chicken jalfrezi dishes were also tasteless with the curry sauce swimming. We've eaten a lot of Indian meals over the years and never had anything close to this. The venue itself lacked atmosphere - we were sitting outside the restaurant in a gloomy shopping arcade. Had the food been great maybe we wouldn't have even noticed where we were!! Anyway - based on our experience I would have to say avoid. However, plenty of people seem to disagree, so I can only assume that the chef was on holiday for the New Year period and someone less experienced prepared the food!

Came here for the first time tonight after walking by this place several times prior . The food was absolutely fantastic, the service was excellent and the surrounds are intimate. This place has lots to choose from on the menu , serves alcohol as well , and the prices are very reasonable considering it’s a city restaurant. We had butter chicken , rogan josh , two different types of naan and wine . Excellent place , do yourself a favour and try this place .

I have been coming to this family run restaurant on and off for the past 18 years depending which state my work takes me. This is one of my highlights of Melbourne, enjoying such authentic and perfectly cooked curries with soft and fluffy Naan on the side. The staff here are super friendly, always greet you with a smile and tailor your spice level and allergies in their food. Thanks for you great hospitality and great food. You have a life long regular customer! Phani (from ACT)

Had the beef vindaloo, hot lamb korma, rice and plain nann's, heaven on a stick. The owners are two brothers, one is the cook, who learned his amazing skills, from an Indian cook, who came to Melbourne, many years ago. The staff are friendly and accommodating, the food is amazing, the hot lamb korma is the best, Iv'e ever had. The nann's were cooked perfectly, and the Gulam Jamun, were just petrfect If you go to Melbourne, just go here, you won't be disappointed

Seemed like this was well rated and had some celebs go so tried it out. Well versed in indian and neighbouring country dishes so ordered. Onion bahji wasn't great to start, possibly re deep fried and not big enough to dissipate the fried flavour so pretty poor. Currys were OK, portion a little small. Not v punchy at all, I had a madras should be fiery sadly no. The naan if I can call it that was terrible. A thin pizza like bread v oily. Yak. Sorry but I wouldn't recommend

We came here after reading reviews online and the food and staff certainly live up to what was said. The butter chicken is amazing along with the garlic naan and onion bajhis. Been in Australia for 5 years and never found an Indian as good. Going back again tonight before relocating back to Sydney!

Central Business District
Full of discovery and delight, Melbourne’s laneways tease the imagination long after you’ve put your weary feet up to rest. They weave through the heart of the city: cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques, throbbing with conversation and espresso coffee. You never quite know what you’ll find around the next corner: cobblestone alleys, old beer barrel hoists and even vats of simmering organic soup. There is the air of Berlin in the street art, a touch of Paris in the umbrella-shaded cafes and, reminiscent of Rome, eateries tucked away in the most unlikely of places. Perhaps you might want a break and cross the Yarra River to Southbank - walk along the promenade, bask in the sun at a waterside bar and decide whether to go to the nearby casino or book a ticket at the Melbourne theatre company.
