Let’s see how people review this restaurant

“Hands down the best Indian food I have ever had in my GD life. We came on international women's day and we're given a free glass of champagne to celebrate, the tasting menu we ordered included two apps, three curries, rice, yogurt sauce and a side of Nan each. The meal was ended with a refreshing homemade icecream pop  Each and every component was delicious and uniquely flavorful. The service was some of the best I've ever had , such kind and caring staff. I would come back to Melbourne solely to eat here” — Ciara M.
“Excellent choice for Indian! On a Saturday night we were lucky to grab a seat without a reservation. The restaurant quickly filled up. Their food and atmosphere did not disappoint. We ordered and enjoyed Naan with Alsi ke kofte, Navratan Korma and a side of saffron rice. I was in heaven! Tonight's dreams will be of my superb dinner in St. Kilda.” — Mercedes L.
“Just had a great dinner with great service!  Hope to eat here again while in Melbourne. FYI. Learned the opened a restaurant in San Francisco and Manhattan NY. Really good. Try it!!” — Patricia F.

“I've been here a couple of times and love the food. The cashew curry is amazing! Staff are friendly and I highly recommend!” — Kimberley J.
“A fantastic little restaurant. Food is excellent, the menu is varied and interesting. The staff are warm and welcoming and the service is excellent. Last time I went I was accompanied by a very picky, whiney vegetarian and they were incredibly patient and accommodating.” — Kitty K.
“Husband is Sri Lankan so I've eaten my fair share of Sri Lankan food. This place is second to none. We had the hoppers - all delicious- with chicken curry, cashew curry, kothu roti and pol sambol. All were fantastic but the chicken curry was stand out. A little more expensive than your usual 'local' but worth the extra $ for the atmosphere and service - definitely somewhere you could spend a Saturday night. Will be back” — Ani K.
