Definitely no longer authentic when one waitress is Australian wearing jeans and says "cheers" all the time and the other is stuffing nan bread in her mouth in full view of customers. I had a chick pea masala served in a white breakfast bowl (authentic?) and my husband had a chicken curry. No difference in the taste between the two. The takeaway container was pretty much thrown on the table at the end. We went to pay and the eftpos machine was thrown on the counter. I even had to ask how much the meal was. No "How was your meal?", no Thank you for coming". Just bloody rude and made our skin crawl. Customer service - awful, rude, sloppy and indiscreet Food - needs work Authenticity? - zero. "Cheers - we won't be coming back to what is definitely not Frankston's finest Indian restaurant "

There was hardly any meat and the container was mostly sauce, and I have never seen so much oil sitting on the top of a take away container. The accompanying sides left a lot to be desired. Most of it was salty and flavourless and the naan bread was basically round dough. No naan like quality at all... The "Kwality" of this place is so bad, I wouldn't eat here again. Which is a shame because it was nice once..

Situated in Somerville, Tulsi might come across as a regular suburban Indian restaurant. But the…read moreminute you step in, you realize that this is not your average, pedestrian Indian curry house. The décor is classic contemporary with definite Indian touches in the form of wooden artwork and photographs. The service is extremely professional yet friendly. A relaxed ambience with a view into the open kitchen where you find calm and composed chefs going about their business of sending out delicious food. There is a good wine list which includes ones from their vineyard; you can also request for matching wines for each course. The dinner menu is a short and limited one unlike many of the Indian restos where you can usually find pages after pages of dishes; a matter of quality over quantity. We started off on hot, piping samosas filled with a savoury peas and potato stuffing. Now, I have had plenty of samosas in my lifetime but what made this one stand apart is its buttery, flaky shortcrust pastry which is really hard to find in Melbourne. Next, we had the Kesari Murgh Tikka; melt-in-your-mouth chicken morsels with subtle yet flavourful marinade of spices and saffron. It wouldn't be wrong to say that this is the best chicken tikka I have had for a really long time especially in Australia. No artificial colours and absolutely juicy chicken bites. Highly recommended. We also had a tasting of Tandoori Champ or marinated racks of lamb. Delicious with the cooking of the lamb spot on. For the mains, we had steamed basmati rice and naan/bread accompanied with Saag Paneer (cottage cheese and spinach curry) and Jheenga Nariyal (King prawns cooked with coconut and spices). I hardly ever talk about the naan I eat at the Indian restaurants here but at Tulsi, you will want to. And that's probably because of the slight twist, the bread is finished off in an oven instead of a tandoor which makes it soft and pillowy, the perfect carrier for scooping the curries. I am usually not a big fan of saag but this one was delicious primarily because of the quality of the cottage cheese. Anyone who is familiar with paneer or Indian cottage cheese would be able to say that this one is prepared in house as it is soft and crumbly. The dish was mild just as it is prepared in Northern part of India. Definitely recommended for paneer lovers. And I will not be able to stop talking about the prawn curry. Perfectly cooked king prawns in a luxuriously creamy coconut gravy with just the right hint of spices. Again, totally recommended! Finished the meal with gulab jamuns (dumplings in golden sugar syrup) with a side of mango ice-cream. The jamuns were warm and fresh but could have been a tad bit softer but paired beautifully with the mango ice cream.
