"The taste is amazing! I really enjoy the food here, especially the Dahi Puri hands down the best dish. It would be even better if the yogurt was served separately. The Chicken 555 was also delicious, and the portion sizes are generous. Overall, a great experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back!"

"Only indian food i have liked that i tried. The Lamb Rogan Josh was flavourful with no bones. The portions were great, however i'm not a fan of the nuts in the mango lassi but it was better than other that i have had. I will definitely keep ordering from here especially if they keep giving bread and Basmati Rice"
"I have ordered from here on many occasions and have always ordered a larger size. The portion. This time was a lot smaller than normal with a lot more liquid and less meat. The meat itself was also not as tender as it usually is which was disappointing. The Roddys were both very inconsistent. One seemed to be nice and fresh and the other was quite chewy. Overall I'm disappointed this time."

"The food is so good I loved it a lot and I order Lamb Biryani and when I tell you that's food is so tasty Thankyou for the chefffffffffff"
"Really disappointed with this biryani. The masala was way overpowering — completely drowned out any actual flavor of the rice or meat, just an overwhelming punch of spice with no balance. The meat itself was the bigger issue though — it had an off, stale smell that put me off eating more than a few bites. Definitely didn't taste fresh.
On top of that, this didn't look anything like a proper dum biryani. No visible layering, no signature aroma or texture you'd expect from something actually cooked on dum — just looked like regular masala rice mixed with meat. For the price, I expected far better quality and authenticity. Won't be ordering again."

Thupka- never had Thupka this way. fried pieces of hard rock chicken orange in colour, soup was watery, it should be comforting food. this was avoiding the chicken.
Chowmien- Was good. no complaints.
Pani Puri-Regardless of some broken pieces i received it was a big disappointment, overly salty, no flavour.
overall a dissatisfaction, except for the Chowmien."

"First Time visiting this restaurant. Really good food with flavourful tastes. The dishes were unlike I've ever had, definitely the best Indian restaurant in Melbourne.
I've visited many restaurants and this one beats every single one by far. Due to there being new owners and new management there are new and improved dishes. Being open for only 4 weeks is really impressive. The restaurant is extremely clean and the ambience is nice and calm with music playing in the background. I will definetly be visiting this place again and again. I would 100% recommend you to visit this place as well.
A few unheard of but amazing dishes that I would recommend would be the Parda Biryani, 4 Seasons Viral Chicken, The Chef's Specials, Haleem and of course biryani. Alongside the amazing food the Saudi champagne ( non - alcoholic ) drink was refreshing. The portions are also decent sized, enough to fill you up. The food is fresh and tastes like India.
MUST VISIT."
"My partner is Hyderabadi so we were happy to finally discover proper Hyderabadi food after a decade of living in Australia! We highly recommend the Malai Paya and Chicken 65 Wrap but everything we had was good. My partner's face lit up when we had dinner at their restaurant and we ordered again from Doordash the following day. Both times were superb! We also met the chef who was lovely and also from Hyderabad. We are not from Melbourne but we will definitely keep coming back whenever we are in town."

"My favourite restaurant in Sunshine, everything is absolutely delicious and fresh. Absolutely recommend this to everyone. Owner is super friendly and accommodating with everything.
10/10 for both service and food. :)"
"The tandoori butter chicken was simply sensational. Quality of the chicken was 10/10 and sauce had real depth that was intensely addictive!
And the rice.... you must get the saffron rice because it's a lot more that just rice. It's fragrant flavour bomb that makes the whole experience unforgettable.
Don't ask questions... just do it!"

"The Chefs Special Fried Rice is just glorious! The spicy-ness and that weirdly authentic Sri Lankan-ness really comes through! Hands down best Sri Lankan fried rice spot.
I wish the curries were a tad bit more authentic too. They are a bit bland and most of the time "a hit or miss". But the fried rice really gives that hungry Sri Lankan a good belly whop!
Also as a typical Lankan with a love for "more rice" the extra rice option is just oh so fortunate."
