Although the food was very nice, the service left a lot to be desired. After popping our champagne, we began to order and were informed that there was a minimum $20 per person spend. We were also informed that if we got one main meal, we'd 'barely get a spoonful each', and so we needed to order one main and one entree per person.
To satisfy the minimum spend, we requested for them to calculate our costs after ordering, so that we could accordingly spend more if needed. They refused to do this. We requested a calculator, and they came back with a piece of paper and a pen. Then he proceeded to take the paper back (bar one page) so that he could actually take our order!!!
Our soft drinks arrived, and were flat. As I said the food was very nice, however each main could easily satisfy two people, especially if an entree was ordered to share, & rice was needed for the dish. The meal sizes were similar to most Indian restaurants. So, in the end we ordered WAY too much food and overspent our $20 minimum. Did we want dessert - no thanks!

We went here for my husband's birthday and were very disappointed as we had heard lots of great reviews. One of our dishes was overcooked and when asked for a replacement dish they refused. Having no liquor license was a little frustrating.

Very small restaurant with superb Indian food, especially their specialty fish dish. Also does take away. We make a point of going if in Melbourne and usually need to book. Has won a number of awards and had many great write ups.

Authentic Indian cuisine that's a little different from other Indian restaurants because they showcase variations of the dishes from different areas of India. Really good food and great service too.

This is my favourite Indian resaturant, not just in Eltham but in all of Melbourne. It's a very popular restaurant that has won lots of awards. They have a great variety of dishes, huge menu.
The restaurant is cosy and intimate for a date. Make sure you book in advance. They also do alot of take away.

Approximate cost: $15
