"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."

"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."

"ఇక్కడ దొరికే వడలు నాకు తెలిసి ప్రపంచంలోనే ఎంతో రుచికరమైన వడలు. పైన కరకరలాడుతూ లోపలా మెత్తగా ఉంటూ మామూలుగా ఒకటి రెండు వడలు తినే వాళ్ళు కూడా ఇలాంటి వడలైతే పది పదిహేను తిన్న ఆశ్చర్యపోనవసరం లేదు అంత బాగుంటాయి."
"Very inconsistent and the ratio between the masala and rice is not balanced. Too much of masala for too little rice. Initially they did well but looks like they are lacking quality and consistency. That's sad, we really loved this place and have to reduce ordering from here and this is not the first time it has been so off"

"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."

Also, portion should be available in less than 1kg too.

5 stars based on door dash order of seafood laksa. The kitchen accommodated my additional details on the order as well which is often overlooked. The broth had a good depth of flavour, mildly spiced. The seafood was generous and well cooked. I ordered from here for the first time as my other favourite laksa kitchen wasn't open l, and I am glad I did. Thank you"
