Situated on the old premises of what used to be Indii, now is Royale India. They've made some…read moregreat changes to the decor of the restaurant - both inside and out - and if you love Indian food, you'll love it here. Right from the start, the staff were welcoming. We were seated right away and you couldn't help but notice the nice colourful decor and the authentic Indian music playing. Their menu is wide and varied and has a good selection of Vegan options if that's you. The Samosas were really good. The pastry was nice, crisp and moreish and the filling was perfect with just the right amount of tang. For main, the Butter Chicken was also cooked perfectly (though there was a slight hint of a processed taste to the chicken, which I didn't really love), and the sauce was magnificent. The garlic naan and rice were also perfect. They had been very accommodating in any request we had to have meals modified, which was very good and helpful. Would I recommend coming here? Yes, I would. Very much. The food was lovely, the staff were friendly and accomodating, the pricing is reasonable, and along the lines of many other restaurants. Parking at times can be a little hard, but right now it's easy enough, but don't let anything deter you from trying it here because you'll be glad you did.

I am honestly surprised that this place is till open. Chimes could have once been great, bad sadly…read morehas slipped into the abyss of bad food barely worth of takeaway. One upon a time it was delicious: the butter chicken superb, the korma divine and the dal makhani spicy. In those days my family and I used to frequent this restaurant, getting poppadums and mango lassis before tucking into several mains. But somewhere along the line, and I don't really know where it happened, the restaurant lost its touch. The last couple of times I had takeaway I was really disappointed with the quality of meat they used (think gristle) and thought the serving sizes were a little mean. I looked at the price I was paying and just wasn't satisfied. Chimes still do business, but with the opening of Nakorn Siam next door the outlook is a little bleak. I haven't seen Chimes packed in well over a year, most nights it just seems to be a few lonely tables.

The Classic Curry Company restaurant is classic by name, a classic by nature. Classic Curry Company…read moreis one of those word-of-mouth joints that exceeds the low student expectations that are its' bread-and-butter clientele and be elevated to that rare status of a truly great cheap eatery for everyone, regardless of financial situation. The shop front is a dollop of bright primary school colours tucked amongst the car dealerships and pawn shops of the less dense, North Melbourne end of Elizabeth St. In contrast, the inside is your typical sparse and oh-so-slightly cramped budget décor, but the customers tend to take care of the atmosphere with amiable chat and snippets of laughter. Food is served in traditional copper and other metallic serving pots on tables with easily cleanable tablecloths. The curries are made without a hint of stinginess, with full flavoured ingredients that are never overcooked. The highlights are some of your curry staples; the Vindaloo (lamb or chicken), Prawn Massala and Shahi Paneer (cheese is a creamy tomato sauce). The most expensive dish is a mere $12, and the naan bread is extra soft. Classic Curry Company is an almost obligatory experience for every Melbourne University student, but you could say the same for everybody else as well. In fact, the place is so popular that they've just opened a sister restaurant in Sunshine. Let's hope it doesn't go corporate and ruin the fun.

Truly disappointing. The shahi paneer was far too sweet and had no kick. It tasted like a sweetened…read morecanned pasta sauce. The palak paneer was similarly mild and bland, though plenty of cream. A cheap meal not worth trying. Atmosphere wise it's just a bit too dirty and rundown for my liking.

There were a couple of Indian Restaurants in the part of Hawthorn that I happened to be exploring…read moreand this was the one that I ended up visiting. Anyway, it had goat on the menu which means that it definitely gets points for that, and it wasn't all that pricey either, which also gives it bonus points. However the serves were all that huge, which was a little disappointing. Still, the meal was pretty cool, and the service was quite nice as well. Don't expect anything all that flash, and certainly don't expect the authentic Indian feel either. However, the type of Indian restaurant I like is one that does a good curry, and one that does goat, and this certainly delivers on that. The problem is that since it is in Hawthorn, and that there is another one next door, I'm not likely to be running back here too quickly.

Again- perfect spices and tons or flavor. Garlic Naan could use a tad more garlic- I wasn't sensing any. The yogurt sauce here is addictive! Soooo good!

It was like food and entertainment. Big hearty, tasty somosas, and great options when it comes to mains. Obviously I can't go past butter chicken but their Tikka Masala was spot on too!

I did leave feeling like I was going to pop and even that didn't stop me getting some gulab jamun to go! Some meals are just not complete until you've had dessert! As far as suburban restaurants go, this what you'd expect and more! Obviously a local fave, the restaurant was full of families and constantly receiving telephone orders. And just to top everything off Mishra himself is there cooking up your delicious meal! Like a little yarraville celebrity chef! Thumbs up for Mishra's!!!

The food is good but not excellent. Prices are okay but the menu is out of date so when I ordered…read moreit cost more than expected. I asked them to bring an up to date menu and the prices were the same! Poor form. Maybe they just ripped me off. They said the food would be delivered within an hour. 1hr 20m and a chase up call later, the driver arrives. No complimentary pappadums or anything. Food not hot. So it cost more than it should have. Took longer than it was promised. And no expression of gratitude for my custom. The inner west is full of good Indian. Mishra's need to lift their game.
