How we read reviews →Chef Helly's rotating regional-Indian degustation meets native ingredients in Carlton.
Intimate, moody fine-dining room behind a laneway entrance - communal and private tables, dim lighting and warm hospitality several diners compare to being welcomed into someone's home.
A regional Indian tasting menu that rotates every few months (Kerala, Parsi, Goa, Mughlai, Rajasthan), native Australian ingredients like finger lime, Davidson plum, wattle seed and kangaroo, matched wine and cocktail pairings, and dish-history cards with each course.
Chef Helly researches and presents each regional Indian cuisine with detailed dish-history cards, pairing authentic techniques with native Australian produce.
A premium degustation from roughly $120 to $200+ per person before wine pairing - reviewers are split, with most calling the food worth it but several flagging small portions and inconsistent execution at that price point.
