Amazing food and lovely service! We got the 'feed me' and it did not disappoint.

Lovely family owned restaurant, fantastic service with incredibly friendly people. Food is excellent.

I was initially sceptical because of the restaurants name, but we have been three times now and the food is always amazing - I don’t think you can get a better garlic naan anywhere. The staff are quirky and fun. The restaurant is small and cozy. We love the fresh take on the way the dishes are served. Definitely our favourite Indian restaurant.

Ripoff for what it is. The naan and kulcha were undercooked (we could literally taste the dough) and the taste wasn't great either. Starters were average with really small portions. And the cocktails were pure, cheap alcohol. Not what I'd expect at this price point. Had to go to Macca's after. Avoid.

The food was amazing. We ordered a few entrees as recommended by the staff. The pani puri and kheema cigars were delicious. We also had the prawns which were cooked to perfection with a hint of spice.

For mains we ordered butter chicken, lamb shank and palak paneer. All dishes were different, tasty and authentic. The meat just fell off the bone from the lamb shank. The naans (butter, garlic and cheese) were a good thickness and fresh.

We had to try the recommended dessert which was the 3 idiots sizzling brownie. There were quite a few other desserts on the menu I wanted to try. Will have to save it for next time.

Small bustling Indian restaurant with good food. Serving sizes could be a little larger especially the entree. Loved the cheesy garlic naan and the pad.

Delicious food; every starter we had was amazing. The mains were lovely & the dessert (choc brownie) is a must. The staff were attentive & friendly. Thank you!

Average food which you can get in any other Indian restaurant for half price. Not a good value for money. Quantity

Holy cow. Great food, top notch. Went in for an early Valentines dinner without a reservation and were kindly admitted by the excellent Ms. Satt- as long as we vacated within two hours! What followed was a beautiful feast, perfectly presented with a flavour profile that had us in raptures. Satt was the best server I’ve ever had in Australia- attentive, with excellent recommendations for dishes, quietly pouring the rest of my beer for me and removing the bottle, and with great pride in her restaurant and food. Highly highly recommend and can’t wait to try everything on the menu and bring friends. This is sophisticated Indian food, beautifully presented and created by people who have a reverence for good eating. You won’t regret it, go go go!

We ordered two apps, two mains, two breads, several beers.

Have been here a number of times now and the food have always been so exceptional and consistently good! Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Melbourne. Brought a friend who didn’t even like Indian food and she ended up loving it! TFC, butter chicken, palak paneer & cheesy garlic naan are my recommendation of MUST-TRY. Oh, and of course the masala chai!
Highly recommend this place:)

For me it is good. Can't really comment on how the taste for Indian food is because it is the 1st time I have tried here in Melbourne.
Calamari is delicious. It's tender and soft, not those like chewy calamari.
One more thing is that the brownie is really good too.

Do you want to taste authentic Indian food. This is the place. Excellently prepared, delicious Indian food topped with great customer service. A place not to be missed.

Fresh flavours, it is soo good to read a menu and then taste the food, then to be blown away by the flavours it’s a wonderful thing to do. The flavours were natural tasting and you can tell they were made using fresh ingredients not out of a packet. Something great about people who are passionate about food. Give it a try it won’t disappoint.

Anything I say won’t do justice. It’s one of the best not just for food but attention and service. Owners go above and beyond to make it an experience to remember. We just love it and we always order too much haha

Really small portions, poor value for money. The tandoor chicken tikka (in photo) tasted average and was $19 for 4 pieces. Lamb shank $28 with a very small amount of meat and mainly gravy. Taste was okay but really not worth the money. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.

Not many Indian restaurants here in Melbourne have been able to retain true Indian essence with fusion Indian food. This has to be one of those few! A small but absolutely warm and welcoming place! Great hosts and hospitality. Loved the cocktails and the creativity around it! The starters were really nice. A special mention to the special 3 idiots cheese stuffed beetroot kulcha! Loved it! As suggested it can be had as a separate dish in itself! The veg main course was little bland for my taste palette. Did not taste non-veg main course but I was told it tasted very good! We tasted most of the desserts, they were subtle and yum! Finally tried filter coffee in Melbourne! Authentic taste!

Came here for my fiancé’s birthday who loves Indian food - was not disappointed! I am inexperienced with Indian cuisine but was made to feel at home. Was able to vary the level of spice and was recommended some amazing dishes! Will recommend and come back again

While visiting Melbourne, our friends insisted we try this place before we left. Absolutely top notch food, and extremely friendly owners who were bantering with their customers and each other like every person there was an old friend. I'm usually a Tikka Masala man, pretty standard, but this time I branched out into the Aloo Gobi and well now I have a new favourite. Thanks 3 Idiots, you've set the bar too high and now I worry every other Indian restaurant I visit won't match up.

I came here with 4 friends for a casual girls catch up dinner. The service was so attentive and enthusiastic. We had the chef’s selection, and boy oh boy it didn’t disappoint. All dishes that came out were exceptional. The naan bread was better than any I’d had before. The wine they had on offer was on point.

One in our group is a vegetarian, and they seamlessly incorporated beautiful inclusive dishes for her.

11/10 would come back to dine again. Some of the best Indian cuisine I’ve ever eaten.

One of the best meals we have had this year. They have nailed the modern twist on Indian classics with some amazing flavours matched with inventive dishes. They have possibly the best butter chicken in Melbourne. The service was outstanding, we were greeted like long lost friends and left feeling like part of the family.
