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 weren't quite what we were used to (being that we're from the states) but OH MY WORD were they ever good! 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! :)

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.

If your lucky enough to run into Peggy while you are there / collecting take away then stay for a chat, she is really pleasant and loves to make a connection with her customers. A few months ago i ordered take-away and Peggy called to tell me her delivery person called in sick but was prepared to walk it over to my place which was not far! Of course i told her this wasn't necessary and came and picked it up myself, she was so thankful that she gave me a free curry and desserts!

Discovered this lovely Indian restaurant while exploring the Fitzroy neighborhood. I fell in love…read morewith the beautiful and colorful decor. The space felt light and airy, with plenty of room, along with a classy ambiance. Of course I had to try the Mango Lassi sprinkled with pistachio, which was a combination you wouldn't expect, but was surprisingly delicious together. The Mango Lassi was perfectly thick, fruity, smooth, while the pistachio was delicate and nutty. I ordered the from the Bombay Tiffin Service, selecting the Tradies Tiffin. This consisted of 4 separate tiers of meat, vegetable, carb, and naan bread. I was able to request Lamb for the meat. The Lamb was melt in your mouth tender in a well seasoned sauce. Another tin container had Bhel Puri which was a tasty cold and crunchy concoction of puffed rice with peanuts, pomegranate, tomatoes, onion, lime, as well as a bit of tamarind and green chutney. I really enjoyed this, as it was light, refreshing, full of bold flavors. This meal also came with Lentils, which was cooked well and hearty. Service was solid. Our waitress was welcoming and helpful with the menu. Pricing was very reasonable. I would consider returning to try the Lamb Chops, Bombay Fish Masala, as well as the Rose & Cinnamon Lassi.

Honestly the strangest and most oily Paneer Butter masala curry I have ever ordered in my life…read more Have a look at the oil in this curry! The cost of the dish was almost $20, and a 1/4 of it was oil. Naan's were reasonable, but not the best naan's I've had. I couldn't finish the curry due to oil. However, the curry itself had a nice taste, but and it was spicy enough. The gulab jamun, - just 2 pcs for $6.50. Ridiculous! Every other restaurant sells it for $3.50 max. I ordered it as I expected them to be golden brown and big, but they were the same as other restaurants. I wont be ordering from here again.

Having eaten indian food nearly every week and at different places this one is definitely a contender for one of the better joints around Melbourne City. The prices are also cheap and reasonable considering the quality and serving sizes. In hindsight the attitude of the server and lack of atmosphere was just part and parcel of any legitimate Indian restaurant. Food was without a doubt top notch :)

I'm a bit of a dosa lover and the general rule is that if you have the name of a dish in the…read morerestaurant name, that should naturally mean that is their specialty. Dosa's were definitely abundant on their menu and it was really hard to choose which to order. Our safe bets were the chefs special dosa - combination of sorts stuffed into a dosa and a chicken egg dosa. Both were flavoursome and we agreed the paneer was creamy and delicious. Although this will be a once in a blue moon craving, it was a delightful one at that. Cheap, flavoursome and filling. Neither of us had even finished half our meals. Service was good and meals came out quite quickly. Under $30 for 2 types of dosas and a soft drink each. It's a welcome change to try unfamiliar indian cuisine, one of which I will recommend to others.

I would not go to this place ever again as it happened on three different occasions I gave them enough chances and they do not get it. if you don't respect customer and take it as purely business you might sail for bit but drawn soon.
