Best Indian in Melbs?

bergholt  said about 5 years ago  or at  8:41PM on Wednesday, January 17 2007 in chat

I'm eating chicken patiala from Kake di Hatti and it's good.

I love that place. Am I missing something? Is there somewhere better in Melbourne town? Northside hopefully.

Best Indian I've ever eaten, consistantly comes from a place in Bay st in Brighton, I can't remember what it's called, but they throw extra naan and things and not too pricey.

Worst Indian ever is definitely Curry Cafe on High st, Northcote. Everytime I order something there it takes forever, the portions are tiny (for the price) and it tastes like a packet mix with no flavour...they call it 'retro Indian' but I think they mean 'We've Americanized Indian so the flavour is milder (non existant) so kids can eat it'

I met some lovely Indian girls at my work this week. Thats all.


bergholt  said about 5 years ago:

I useta think Classic Curry Company was good but went back there a coupla months ago and wasn't that happy. Pretty crude taste. Cheap though.

Incidentally, I cook the best rice in the known universe.

So...uh...no one's said Modi yet, huh?

i've only ever been to gaylords. it was pretty nice from memory.


Gorn  said about 5 years ago:

Curry Masala in High St Northcote is awesome. Singh's in Nicholson St, East Brunswick also damn good.


Peaches  said about 5 years ago:

Oooh, Curry Massala IS good. 2 thumbs up!


devo  said about 5 years ago:

there is a place in Ivanhoe which is pretty fucking awesome but i can't recall the name.

Bismi on Sydney rd brunswick was pretty good but has lost it's way big time.


bergholt  said about 5 years ago:

I only go to Gaylords when dumplings is closed.

But that said dumplings have been shit recently.

Taj Palace, Footscray

thread closed.


PaulsGrandfather  said about 5 years ago:

I like Gaylords. Not a fan of dumpings, though.

And, of course, Bhoj. Best ever.


blake3030  said about 5 years ago:

There's a trio of good ones inTemplestowe.

Bhoj, Maharaja's and something else. All absolute top notch.


blake3030  said about 5 years ago:

Gaylords is nice. I wouldn't say it's better than either of the ones I like in templestowe though.

Bhoj wins.


PaulsGrandfather  said about 5 years ago:

Rahboj, I think is the other one.


liquidlovejesus  said about 5 years ago:

chana masala and a saag naan please!


PaulsGrandfather  said about 5 years ago:

I think I probably like the restaurant itself more than the food as far as Gaylords goes. Don't get me wrong, the food is great, but the restaurant is awesome.


bergholt  said about 5 years ago:

Footscray?

Brighton?

Templestowe?

Fuck me drunk, I'd haveta plan that months in advance.

Can't believe Everest in Fairfield ain't on this list. Probably not the best in Melbourne, but probably the best Northern Suburbs take-away I've had. And it comes in a carry box!

Beware, when they say hot, they mean it. Mighty tasty though.


filterfeed  said about 3 years ago:

we had curry masala last night. definitely my favourite.


Charles Dumar  said about 3 years ago:

Kake di Hatti - nothing beats it.

Vegetarian Nirvana on Bridge road gets my vote
This place is great!

We have recently discovered ''Orion,'' also on Bridge Rd, which is good.
Best Tandoori Lamb Chops EVER, and great staff.
AND they deliver booze with the food!

In my experience Curry Munchers on Swan St is very ordinary.


moo-core  said about 3 years ago:

Have I mentioned Curry Cafe on High Street? I love that place so much.


team ham sandwich  said about 3 years ago:

i love cafe saffron on upper heidelberg road, ivanhoe. pretty good for the burbs.


anorakhighst  said about 3 years ago:

Curry Cafe used to be the Salamander Cafe many years ago, and was actually a fairly decent cafe. Then it became a fairly average (and not particularly good value) Indian restaurant; not quite a good Indian, and not really a cafe as such, though somewhere in between. Of course, it may have improved since I last went there (some years ago).

I liked Gogi's on Johnston St. Though I think that's now a Spanish tapas place or something, isn't it?


anorakhighst  said about 3 years ago:

Does ''Indian'' here encompass Nepalese/Tibetan? If so, the Wild Yak on Smith St. was quite decent. (I suspect that may have closed down as well.)


KillerQueen  said about 3 years ago:

Two Fat Indians I've always found was tasteless, kinda watered down tripe. No taste...

My fav indian restaurant is about to close. Cafe Spice in Greensborough, on Main St. Food is always amazing, and Sanjeev was always awesome. I'm going to miss that place.

I'm a bit eh on Cafe Saffron, I still haven't tried Everest, I might try it on the way home from work on sat...

Did anyone rate Guru Da Dhaba, in Johnson St? It burnt down last night.


gusseting  said about 3 years ago:

i'm rather fond of flora for what it is - the real deal, frequented by indians, it's cheap, and on flinders street in the city (opp the train station).


versechorusverse  said about 3 years ago:

The cab driver who picked me up the other night he was a nice bloke.

I love BEDI'S in South Melbourne

There is a good place on high st thornbury but I cant remember the name. Could be 'Bombay Masala' but Im not sure.


marchinginthestreet  said about 3 months ago:

masala craft in thornbury is pretty great. the tandoori chops are next level.


woolfat  said about 3 months ago:

i am very, very confused as to why the indian place down the road feels the need to put coconut milk in both the rogan josh AND the vindaloo.

neither of those should have coconut milk in them. i am very upset about this. fucken.
