"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."

"New favourite restaurant! Everything is super tasty and very well priced. We have ordered three times in the last few weeks. Each time something different and each time just as good. Still so many more things to try. Highly recommended!!"
"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."

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.

"Boneless Chicken Biryani was really something special. I won't lie- it's quite hot. Just really nice with such variety of tastes. Lemon and red onion was tops.
Quite an experience. Something one wouldn't expect without going to the sub-continent.

Thankyou."

"Delicious. Prawn Wonton Soup was a hit. I loved the coriander garnish. Netted Prawn Rolls were crunchy and had flavour. Pad Thai was the best I've had in awhile. It actually had the garnish you usually get when you order in, and it tasted amazing. Thank you!"
"Although the Tom Kha was accurate flavour wise, I asked for extra prawns and only received three clearly overcooked pieces. The portion is small but the price reflects that which is fine. It was just okay. The roti was a reasonable size but the peanut sauce was extremely watery as if it had no peanut sauce in it at all. It was pretty disappointing. As for the lemonade, and the photo it is advertised in a plastic cup so I thought I was getting possibly a home-made lemonade or something similar but instead it was just a basic Schweppes lemonade so I was a bit disappointed with that too.
