How we read reviews →Elsternwick's standout modern Indian eatery, reimagining classics like butter chicken and chicken 65.
Elegant yet unpretentious casual-dining room with well-dressed tables and attentive service; feels like a genuine date-night spot despite the modest street frontage.
BYOW, chef-made dietary swaps on request (lactose-free, dairy-free curries), and a compact modern-twist menu that departs from the standard Indian-restaurant format.
Mixed signals: most reviewers call it the best and most authentic Indian food they've had, though one reviewer felt the modern-twist menu leans more Western-friendly than traditional.
Reviewers consistently call it reasonably priced for the quality, though a couple note bread and rice add-ons are a little pricey relative to the mains.
