Reviews
"We tried the aloo parantha, Lamb Pulao, Garlic naan and Dal Makkhani. The food here was authentic and tasty. Price is reasonable and same as any other Indian restaurants in Melbourne."
"Word to the wise, save your money and health! Bought ladoos and rasmalai from this store to celebrate an occasion. Found out all laddoos had fungus and rasmalai milk was bad. Went next day to return and owner denied the product is from her store as they don't use home brand containers.Freaks! Only agreed when I asked her to bring tray of ladoos from her store and all laddoos had fungus. She not only failed to acknowledge her store mistake but also blamed me for keeping sweet long time at home and bringing it back when it got bad to blame her! WHO DOES THAT?? Finally she put all blame on chef wherever it's their mistake of not keeping sweets at right temperature. Will never visit back for sure!!"
"I love this place. The door shouts out 'Indian Sweets' and the neon light out front is never on so I tentatively peered in through the window to see if they also served meals. Yep, they certainly do. A very varied selection of dishes that are not the standard fare one gets at your local Indian takeaway. My favourite has to be the Kashmiri Style Beef and Goan Style Vegetable Curry. The pricing is reasonable and is such that you can order two small serves to at virtually the price of a large serve...and their serves are generous. Rice is charged extra. Naan is white fluffy and in one word superb. The dine in surcharge has been dropped and although it looks quiet they do quite a sizeable trade in Take Aways. This restaurant is a survivor and has been serving quality Indian dishes since 1984. Heartily recommend you to try their food."
"One of the best Indian restaurants! If you want to eat good home cooked-like food- must visit! Sweets are a must have. Worth every penny- quality and quantity both. Highly recommend :)"
"Fabulous flavours, great quality and generous quantity. Worth every buck. One of the best Jalebis I had in a long while. Chole bhature were delicious and very well made... quite authentic. Would highly recommend this hidden gem. Looking forward to many more visits..."
