"Packaging was fancy and very neat for gifting. The jalebi was too hard to bite into. It wasn't fresh, as Indian sweets are supposed to be fresh for the best taste and crisp.
Also, portion should be available in less than 1kg too.

"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."

"Veg Noodles were made al dente. It had good proportion of vegetables. Touch on th oilier side. Conservative on salt and seasoning, maybe to appeal to wider audience. Had a decent umami flavour. No noticeable wok hei. Quantity was average. No unsavoury notes in the taste. Nothing to write home about, but overall pleasant."

"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."

"veg Momo and veg Vegetarian Chowmein were good. though, the momo doesn't come with sauce or condiments when ordering the steamed Momo option. with not much info listed, it was hard to work out what the chilli momo comes with specifically."
"1 curry is not a variety!! And the soup was gross, smelled nice but tasted very bad. The 1 curry was fine, not great tho, they gave me gulab jumin as well which was nice. What I assume was the salad did not seem to be a salad at all unless that was meant to be another curry, it tasted fine (tho my mum hated it) whatever it was, had a bad smell tho "

"Impressed.
Been waiting for this restaurant to open for a few months now. It was definitely worth the wait!
I think that there should be 2 more Kofta in the MALAI KOFTA main meal, 4 small sized kofta is just not enough.
The SUBZ BIRYANI could do with more than one piece of Cauliflower and some below size other vegies. Flavours were great though and everything was fresh and delivered warm to hot.l temperature wise. When there is another 40% Deal, I will order again.
Thank you and Congratulations on your new business."
