It may look like your average casual restaurant in an obscure part of a strip of shops where foot…read moretraffic isn't ever at a high, but it's definitely worth stopping in at Nepal Dining Room for a really delicious meal. Admittedly, this was my first time trying Nepalese food, but I love Indian and I know they're a little similar, so thought I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I did, because the food was fantastic. The restaurant itself is nicely decked out. It's got a slight modern warehouse type feel to it, but there's ample room (but with small tables), and beautiful smells coming from the kitchen. I ordered the Pan Fried Sekuwa, which are pieces of chicken thigh fillets marinated with mustard leaves, yoghurt, garlic, ginger and cumin. It was so delicious and came with a mini refreshing salad of cucumber and onion and tomato etc. A really good start to the meal. Following that, I ordered the Chicken Curry for my main (which came with butternut pumpkin) and plain rice. It was beautiful and fresh and while the chicken wasn't as tender as the entree, it was still packed with flavour and texture. The service was good. Food came out all together and correctly and within a reasonable time frame, and the prices are worth it for what you get. Street parking is plenty along that side and portion of Waverly Road and I really look forward to trying it again another time.
Four of us ate here (at the recommendation of neighbours) and really enjoyed the ambience and the…read morefood. The curries were delicious and the pistachio ice-cream capped off a perfect evening. Prices are very reasonable and the choice of wines good. Parking is readily available on Waverly Rd and a booking was not necessary when we visited. It was a pleasure not to be bothered by piped music so we all had a good conversation in a friendly atmosphere with attentive staff. The flavours were delicate and interesting. The nan breads were a treat. So treat yourself to a night out at Nepal Dining Room.

Nepalese food is similar to Indian cuisine - there are spicy dishes and the same sorts of flavours come through. I like testing out the vegetarian options and have fallen in love with the dishes containing chickpeas (bizarre I know), they seem to taste better when they are covered in spicy curry. There are several venues around the city but seeing as I like Bridge Road I usually dine at their café there. The atmosphere is really laid back so its perfect for large groups of people and children too, I'm always impressed by the numbers of families that come to Gurkhas for some tasty Nepalese food - mind you, the kids always seem to be well behaved. Expect great service and knowledgeable suggestions about what to choose off the menu from the wait staff.

This Nepalese restaurant has been on Chapel Street longer than I have and already had a good crowd when I arrived a little after 6pm, so presumably it's doing something right. The waitress gave me a wicker basket with a couple of papadums and a little bowl of spicy dipping sauce as soon as I sat down which was really tasty and quite hot (curry based I think, not chilli). For entree I ordered the tandoor prawns. This was a skewer of six pieces on a bed of saffron rice and a side salad. Very tasty, and very good value at just $12. Speaking of good value, they have cocktails on the drinks menu at an average price of $9 each so I ordered a Brandy Alexander to sip on while I checked out the rest of the menu. This is pretty extensive but as I hadn't eaten here before I ordered the Mixed Entree Platter for $22. This included a lamb cutlet, Momo (steamed chicken dumplings with a spicy dipping sauce - yum), Pakauda - potato fritters served with a plum sauce - and another potato dish called Singada which are curry puffs served with plum and tamarind sauce. This was washed down with a Gorkhali - honey, Frangelico, Bailey's, Creme de Cacao and cream - which for $10.90 was one of the more expensive cocktails. And yes, it tasted as good as it sounds. Can't imagine why it's taken me so long to get to Gurkha's, but I'll definitely be back. Lovely food, cosy atmosphere, good service and cheap cocktails. What's not to like?

Looking for a local Indian restaurant on a Tuesday night can be a pain... My friend and I were…read morereally happy to find this place open. As we were just after a warming dinner to eat with a movie we weren't particularly exploratory with our orders- just a lamb madras for myself and a chicken korma for my friend, of course with the ubiquitous side orders of naan and rice. The food itself was fantastic, mine was really pungent with a wonderfully rich and thick sauce. It was spicy enough for me (i'm a lover of hot food) without being overpowering... Also, unlike a lot of Indian food, it wasn't overly oily or fatty, although as the meal contains coconut milk it had a lovely creaminess to it. The lamb itself was delicious, tender to the point of flakiness so i could break the larger chunks down easily with my spoon. The overall serving size was generous without being ridiculous. To add to this the (plain) naan we ordered was stretchy, not too oily, and surprisingly tasty. The rice was plain but perfectly prepared. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is because beyond a little taste test of my friend's korma (thoroughly enjoyed) I only tried the one dish. Also there was a slight moment of confusion when my friend asked for a menu to take home and was told they didn't have enough left to give him one... Huh? Anyway, if you're looking for a take- away curry, this place is definitely recommended. Unsure as to the quality of the restaurant experience but judging by the decor (see photo), well stocked bar and quality of the food I'm going to see for myself soon.

However, as it turns out, there is little difference between Nepalese and Indian food, not that that is a bad thing because I do love my vindaloo (even if it is only because I am a big Red Dwarf fan). What I did discover though is that when you are the only person in the restaurant you end up getting really pampered, which is not necessarily a bad thing, though it can be a little annoying when somebody comes up to you every five minutes to ask if your are enjoying your meal. Still, I did quite like the place, and it certainly has a nice atmosphere.

We are only in Melbourne over the holidays, so while I unpacked at our local Airbnb, hubby bought us two Chicken Tikka Masalas (1 hot & 1 Extra hot) from Indian Star.

They truly were delicious from the first bite to the last and there was so much food that we decided we had enough for leftovers two more times which was definitely fine by us. :) The Naan was a good size and the Raita was superb. We both agreed it was easy to see why they have won awards for their culinary skills. Hubby also said the gentleman who was there (not sure if he was the owner) was very kind and a lovely person and gave him great service. Definitely recommend! :)
While Loi Loi is far from the best Vietnamese restaurant in the stronghold of this part of…read moreRichmond, they deliver pretty consistent and cheap meals. They also have a great sign (see photo), so I give them the benefit of the doubt on an outward aesthetic level at least. Loi Loi have this crazily extensive menu that covers a whole lot of Vietnamese, Chinese and Indian staples. While the flavours sometimes lack in depth, the produce is always fresh and of the dozen-or-so meals I've eaten there, I've never had something that was bad. But, I've never had a meal that I'd call great either, so it kind of falls into a bit of a no-man's land in terms of Victoria Street Vietnamese. That said, the Mee Goreng (Indonesian?) is pretty good and the servings are bloody huge. So if you're hungry and don't want to line in the more popular and potentially much better places up the street, Loi Loi is a soft option.

When I was here they didn't do anything especially egregious, but they also didn't seem to care about getting people served quickly. The absolute cacophony they have set up doesn't help either. The music is cranked up to 11 and it felt like the speakers were located right next to where orders are placed. Having to shout your order to someone that doesn't seem to care is frustrating, to say the least. Also, we arrived at lunchtime on a weekday, which is probably why we didn't get to see any "SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS". Despite having to deal with poor service, the food is darn good. The Pita with a Bone was the most tender and delicious lamb I've had in a long time. The bone just needed a slight tug and slipped right out. I loved every bite of that pita. They almost have the trifecta for what makes a bad restaurant: Insouciant staff? Check. Obnoxiously loud music? Check. Terrible food? Not... check... If it weren't for the food being so good, I wouldn't ever think of coming back to Miznon. They got almost everything wrong, but the one thing they got right, they got really right.

Visit Cafe Saffron with a large group so you can order many dishes and have a little (or a lot) of each. If this isn't an option pretty much any dish will sate your hunger and have you licking your lips. They offer a range of vegetarian options as well as chicken, lamb, beef and seafood dishes. I cannot single one dish out over the others as they are all well made and deserving of your attention. Overall, Cafe Saffron are a good value and consistent option.

The decor is lovely and you're greeted the second you step inside and all staff were friendly. I personally found the menu a little limiting; to those that don't eat seafood or pork, but still managed to find something. There was only one option for me for entree and of course they were out of it, which I found at a 6pm on a Saturday night to be very poor. I therefore had to skip entree and for the main, I chose the pasta (French??) and Gratin Dauphinois (which were scrumptious). Dessert was a beautiful sponge with cream and strawberries. It was light and delicious and you didn't feel too bad that you'd eaten so much as it wasn't heavy and sickly. The presentation was also outstanding. My friend loved their meal too, and I would most likely go back again, both when their menu is completely available, and also when it's an occasion as it wasn't cheap.

If you're getting a starter, beware that their portions are far smaller than any other Thai restaurant I've been to. The Chicken Curry Puffs only come in twos, where everywhere else comes in fours, but I guess you can then still fit in your main meal. I must say, I couldn't taste the chicken in the puffs, but either way, the flavour was lovely. The fried rice was beautiful, fresh, moist (sorry, I can't think of another adjective to say "not dry") and tasty. Onion lovers will rejoice with the massive chunks found in the dish, but I could have done with a bit more refined chopping (for my taste). Overall, Thai Saffron is a great local gem if you want a nice casual meal out. You can hear yourselves even over other tables, and the service and food were great. Parking CAN be challenging at times, but I wouldn't let that deter you from giving this a go. It's definitely well worth it!
