How we read reviews →Tiny St Kilda dhaba serving huge, cheap thalis and butter chicken locals order weekly.
A genuine, no-frills, tiny hole-in-the-wall dhaba. BYOB, simple decor, with the focus entirely on the food rather than ambience.
BYOB, halal certification, thali sets served with papad first, and a chef who's held the kitchen for years, driving consistency on standout dishes like the vindaloo.
Reviewers repeatedly praise the food as authentic North Indian dhaba cooking, noting the same chef has held the kitchen for years and staff speak Punjabi with customers.
Consistently called cheap for the portion size. a full non-veg thali with rice, naan, raita and dessert often comes to under $50 for two, with reviewers favourably comparing it to pricier Indian restaurants nearby.
