How we read reviews →Portarlington's beloved Indian food truck. deeply spiced curries and butter chicken made fresh by a warm owner-operator duo.
A food truck with garden seating. the setting is outdoor and informal, with genuine warmth from owners Andy and Sue who greet every customer personally. Regulars describe the experience as feeling like being fed by friends rather than served by strangers.
Fresh-to-order cooking. everything made on the day. Spice level customisable from no-spice to very hot, catered individually per customer. Vegan butter chicken available. House-made Indian sweets occasionally offered as a complimentary gesture. Feast-for-two deal ($65 approx) praised as exceptional value. Mango lassi made in-house.
Owners Andy and Sue cook with clear Indian culinary heritage. reviewers note the curries taste home-cooked and distinct from typical Australian Indian restaurants. Techniques like slow-cooked meats, house-made tamarind and mint sauces, and fresh roti signal genuine care and tradition.
Consistently praised for generous portions at fair prices. The feast for two at around $65 is repeatedly cited as extraordinary value. reviewers note significant leftovers. A rare 1-star review flags price versus quality on one visit, but this is an outlier against an overwhelming tide of praise.
