"i love Parotta Combo alot. it tastes really good. but I paid extra for papad nad didn't revived it. but anyway I would always love to order again"
"I ordered from your CBD restaurant through DoorDash and overall had a good experience. The food arrived well packed, fresh, and presentable. We ordered Gobi 65, Andhra Pradesh Vadai, and the South Indian Thali, and I appreciated the variety.
However, there were some issues with seasoning. The vadai was quite salty, while the rasam had no salt at all and tasted quite bland. A better balance in seasoning would really improve the overall taste of the meal.
Other than that, everything else was good and enjoyable. Thank you, and I look forward to ordering again."

"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!"

"For first timers, don't try Biryanis from this place. The portion is fine, but the chicken 65 is just chicken with some flour coating, no flavour.. and the rice is harder than usual for a BIRYANI. I would not order again, if it's for biryani."

"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."

The coconut chutney had the consistency of hummus dip and didn't taste anywhere close to coconut chutney. What a waste of time and money."

"Very disappointing experience at Swagat Spices! The sambar vada was rock hard, as if it had been microwaved for too long, and was almost impossible to chew or cut. The sambar was tasteless, and the chicken in the Chicken 65 biryani was poorly cooked. Extremely poor food quality and a complete waste of money. Would not recommend!"

"I used to love Chatorey’s food, and have recommended it to many others, but this time it was unbelievably disappointing. I usually order the same dishes, so the difference was very noticeable. The Barra Tandoori Chicken was undercooked, and I ended up having to finish cooking it myself in the oven.I’m not sure if the chef has changed, but the Afgani Chicken Roll wasn’t prepared in the usual Afghani style at all and definitely not worth 29 bucks."

The Onion Bhaji (GF) was a standout too, super crunchy and well spiced, highly recommend pairing with the garlic sauce.
Already looking forward to our next order, very happy customers here!"

Chicken 65 is on point!! Curries are beautiful with the right amount of kick!! Do yourselves a favour eat in! Also knowing what curries to order with what rice or naans helps!! Maybe ask for a better dining experience. Staff are lovely as well"
"Disappointing. chicken cheese keema naan Garlic Cheese Naan Chicken keema naan Kashmiri Naan Kalonji Naan were all chewy and horrible and super hot-, clearly microwaved. Badam Halwa was the same, microwaved so much it was split grainy and oily - and when it cooled down it was totally solid like toffee from being so hot. Nuggets and chips were okay but five nuggets and a huge portion of cheap chips to make it look like more. I don't believe anything is made fresh."

"Pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. The Jeera Aloo was amazing, the Palak Paneer too, though I wish it had more paneer in it. Portion sizes are plentiful. Can't recommend this place enough."
"Veg Thali.. poor portion sizes and not very flavourful. I am hopeful this was a one off, but the dishes taste entirely premade, especially the Dahl and Paneer in the veg Thali. Somehow extra wet... and tasteless.
Paneer 65 ended up being the chicken 65. not sure how this happens. An Indian restaurant should be able to cater to vegetarians. It seems that on the google reviews, this has happened in the past, multiple times... It's incredibly bad service and careless to repeatedly make this mistake, ESPECIALLY when the vegetarian options are so extensive.
As a vegetarian, I would never eat here again."

"The naan was not full-sized and was given in broken pieces instead of proper whole naan. Even the pieces provided were uneven and some parts were missing.

"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."

"Daal and Rogan Josh were really delicious"
"So BAD. We ate at the restaurant a month ago and loved the food - the chicken was such good quality and literally fell apart with amazing flavours. We decided to order takeaway and more or less threw the whole lot apart from the naan bread - the chicken was disgusting, huge chunks full of gristle and cartilage, we didn't even eat it as it was so stomach turning. The flavours of the vindaloo were still nice but the meat just ruined the whole dish. The masala was exactly the same.
The samosas were huge - dense and dry, again just not what you'd expect from a delicate snack.
Such a waste of money and time - especially when your driver is on a push bike so it arrives cold.
You can't serve food of such poor quality - I'd like a refund. Really such a shame for it to be so inconsistent. "
