Authentic Malaysian/indian curries and roti at reasonable prices. The roti is made to order and taste delicious. The curries are fresh, rich and spicy- the way curry should taste.

Looking for fresh roti made on the premises? How about Briyani? Maybe even a few curries? The this is the place to get your fix! All items are made fresh daily and my favorites are the Murtabak (roti bread with beef, chicken or lamb inside) and accompanied with a dipping sauce of curry or dahl, then there's the Briyani which is an Indian style of mixed rice with egg, pickles, and spices - incredibly tasty and not too spicy. Prices here are reasonable at around $5 to $8 for basic roti and $12 for noodles such as Mee Goreng. One of my friends who is vegetarian highly recommends the Roti with spinach and cheese! There's also pakoras, curry puffs, and samosas - all of a decent size so that you won't be left hungry. The place has both indoor and outdoor seating - depending on the day, you may prefer to be indoors, and they also have a grocery store selling ingredients in case you wanted to try and make this for yourself! This place has been here for more than 10 years and is consistently busy at lunchtimes and dinner - a testament to the consistency of the food on offer. They used to run a place in the city as well, however it got too much so they're back to Vermont.

Approximate cost: $12

The food here is oily, unhealthy and not fresh. The staff are not friendly at all whether one is dining in or eating take away and the food is overpriced. Would not go back.

We were 8 of us who eat at this place, the food quality was stale and sad, looks like it the curries where sitting in the fridge for ages and just warmed out and served to us...moreover their string hoppers and other snacks are not all that refreshing.

Approximate cost: $20

Wouldn't have a clue whether this place is authentic or not, but their curries are very delicious with a great variety of non-spicy curries for people that cannot handle the chili such as myself. The service was very fast and even though some of the staff doesn't seem like they understand or speak much English, they still try very hard to explain each dish upon request and make reccomendations.

ordered Gado Gado. It was the worst I have ever tasted. It was watery, very poorly flavoured. and the rice served with it was cold. Service was slow. Even got a feeling of being rushed to make room for more indian looking people

Approximate cost: $15.00

This is our FAVOURITE Indian takeaway place! We're happy to drive 20minutes to get there! The food is fantastic and very authentic and never lets us down! It's very popular there though so sometimes you have to wait and occassionally the person taking the orders doesn't speak good english and they get the orders wrong - but hey! We highly recommend it!

Approximate cost: $12

rich maha make some of the best tasting curry etc in melbourne, very authentic home cooked flavours, great value for money. The downside is they are always busy and their premised dont look that attractive, but for great food on a budget they are excellent.

Approximate cost: $13

Great place for genuine Malaysian Indian food. The roti and tea-tarik is exactly the same as you can get in Malaysia. A must for all Malaysians feeling a bit homesick. Would definitely go back to this place again.
