But amazing food can be found everywhere, and in the most unlikely places sometimes. Arya is definitely one of those diamonds in the rough. My nephew suggested we celebrate his birthday dinner here, as he is in love with their butter chicken! I could totally see why - it was brilliantly rich and creamy, and the chicken pieces just melt in your mouth (good for the seniors on our table!). We also ordered samosas, fish curry, lamb roganjosh and lentil dahl which were all spot on. The beef vindaloo was probably the only dish not on par with the rest, as the meat was fairly tough. But what stole the show for me was the chicken tikka! It was served on a sizzling plate which really gave the chicken that wonderful crisp taste, and kept it hot but not dry - in fact it was incredibly juicy, and came with a lemon wedge for that extra citrus kick. As we were one of the first groups to arrive, service was attentive and the dishes came out quickly. Later on as they got busier, it became more challenging to get a waiter's attention to order again, but they were always smiling and did their best, given it was a Saturday night. Told them it was my nephew's birthday, to which they played a super tacky rendition of Happy Birthday in surround sound (much to his utter embarrassment) and the entire restaurant sang along! Great to see other diners get into the spirit of things. Seems they are well prepared for special occasions and after such a lovely dining experience I wouldn't hesitate to come back!

In more recent years the restaurant has been purchased by an Indian family, so the restaurant has combined both Indian and Italian cuisine. In my opinion, this is a little gem that seems to have been largely overlooked. This is some of the best Indian food you will ever get the chance to eat. Can't say I've had a pizza there in years (in the old days they made the best vegetarian pizzas with all seasonal vegetables)- but if you want good Indian, this is the place to go. I've introduced several people to this restaurant now & they have all loved it and will continue to come back. The interior is a little unusual and could use a touch up- it's definitely not fine dining but then there's not really anywhere in Wonthaggi that is- but if you like Indian cuisine, do yourself a favour and check this place out- you won't be disappointed.

They were doing good business here on a Saturday night, both inside and takeaway. I was given a a nice greeting and seated quickly and efficiently. Lovely papadam to start with really good sauces that had plenty of punch. Started with an onion bhaji which is a favourite. There's no such thing as the perfect onion bhaji and there's lots of variation in my experience. The one here is a bit bit dry but still has pretty good flavours. Lovely warmth on the lips and they're a good size too. Excellent length on the flavour. I liked them with the sauce. I had lamb rogan josh for main. It's a good sized serve and clearly competently made. A good dish. The Kashmiri naan I chose was soft, delicate and lightly perfumed. The raita was a nice large serve and very good. The mixed chutney was flavoursome and quite beautiful. Rich, deeply flavoured and substantive. Service was friendly and quick throughout. This is a a good well run business. The food isn't cheap but the quality is good. I would happily return.

I've been heading down to the peninsula for years and whilst the area is known for its food and…read morewine international cuisine has been slower to take off. This is the second time I've visited this venue and it was just as good today as the first time. We discovered it on out last trip down, being hungry and not being sure where to eat we decided to go for a curry. Now that may not seem like a big deal but when your dining companion is Indian and a massive foodie who only prefer eating curry cooked by family you know you've stumbled onto something good! Tonight's special of tandoori mushrooms served on a hot plate was definitely noteworthy. We've tried spinach curry with both chicken and paneer (cottage cheese) peneer masala and a goat curry. All were super tasty and portions very generous. The freshly cooked Carlos naan is an excellent accompaniment. Looking forward to going back next time I'm down this way and trying a few more things.

I've been looking forward to my adventures in Melbourne not only for the urban vibes, diverse…read morehistoric architecture, and surrounding ocean scenery, but the FOOD. I prepared a collection of must-try stops during the month of my visit, and from my research, Daughter in Law made the list. It also happens to be around the corner from my hotel so it ended up being the first restaurant I tried after arriving at the hotel and getting settled. I wanted something comforting and guaranteed to be a delightful food experience and Indian food never disappoints for me and my cravings. Daughter in Law went above and beyond all expectations of the every day delicious Indian restaurant. You'll know it from first glance as you approach the restaurant and see the colorful tables and neon sign. Everything about the ambience took me back to our Mama Speaks hotel in Rome...my absolute favorite for the fantastic indulgent, maximalist, colorful decor. Everything about the space says party with a sophisticated twist. The second time we went here, there was a birthday happening for a grandma with her large family there. This place is a gem. All I can say is hopefully I get to have a birthday here someday. It was a party and we were all smiles. We ordered the Hiramasa Kingfish Ceviche You won't regret this choice It was heaven in a clamshell. I could have eaten several of these as a meal. It was a fresh as fresh gets scallop ceviche with the perfect Indian spin of flavors. I don't know how I didn't get a picture of it except to say most likely because we ate it too fast for pictures. We followed this with the Ball of Happiness (Gol Gappa). A crisp hollowed out orb served with a layered shot of the classic mint, tamarind, and chutney flavor sauces that are meant to be poured into the orb and popped into your mouth for a flavor explosion. It was fun and delicious but I personally would have gone for another scallop en croute in place of this. Though it's worth a go! For drinks, I ordered a Passionfruit Spritz. I was worried it may be too sweet but it turned out to be just right and very refreshing. The little mermaid was a fun touch and my daughter wanted to take her home. The Mango Lassi was perfect, authentic, and not too sweet. There was only 2 of us, so as much as I wanted to try the Rogan Josh, we shared the Chicken Tikka Masala instead. It was delicious phenomenal. So rich and flavorful, with a brightness and tang to it that made it hard to stop eating. Incredible flavor! The garlic naan was of course, woodfired crisp and perfectly soft where it should be when pulled apart. Daughter in Law is going to be a regular spot for the next couple of months and anytime I'm traveling here in Melbourne!
