AI Summary

Merrifield City tandoori specialist that grew from a Craigieburn food truck into a shopfront.

A casual, fast-moving Indian eatery inside the Merrifield City precinct with a warm, family feel; several reviewers followed it from its original Craigieburn food-truck days to the current shopfront.

Started as a food truck before opening a shopfront, runs a lunch platter deal with generous portions, and operates an attached lamb shop selling raw tandoori-marinated meat for home cooking.

Reviewers repeatedly describe the food as authentic, calling it one of the best Indian restaurants in Melbourne with genuinely authentic spicing and true Indian flavour.

The lunch platter deal is repeatedly praised as excellent value with generous portions, though a couple of reviewers found individual items like a $43 platter or a $20 champ overpriced for the serving size.
