"Absolutely superb! Packed with full flavour—the Butter Chicken and 555 Style Starters were highlights, and the Daal Tadka and fluffy Saffron Rice were cooked to perfection. Hands down one of the best meals I've ordered recently. So good I'm going straight to Google to leave a review there, too!"
"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!"

"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."

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"

"1. Butter Chicken was super creamy and flavourful, with big pieces of chicken and a very generous portion. 2. Naan was also great, very clearly fresh. Super impressed with this place and probably will be ordering again, especially as it's one of the more affordable options nearby."
"2. Lamb Korma super tough. 1. Butter Chicken had about 6 small chunks of chicken, but worst of all the 8. Cucumber Salad described as "Fresh cucumber, capsicums, and onions, typically seasoned with lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper" had LITERALLY no capsicums, onions, lemon juice, vinegar, salt or pepper. Instead, about 8 slices of cucumber on a bed of mixed leaf with a tiny slice of lemon and orange. For $6.50. Jokers. Absolutely not coming back here."
