Machan Indian Restaurant

Don’t buy any biriyani from here. We can’t say it’s a biriyani…. It’s not good quality. Their biriyani is totally different than the actual one….

My favourite indian restaurant. Have been coming for years. Food is so dam good. Its not a flashy place but is very comfortable with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Excellent, owner walks around asking and making sure everyone is happy n satisfied.staff also is very attentive and alert to patrons needs.

Delicious dinner, fantastic service as always. We love this place. The best Indian food you’ll find.

I may not have met a saint but I came close when I met the host at Machan Indian. Lovely character, really added to the great food experience.

Found staff very attentive and pleasant. Food was incredibly tasty and a great selection Would highly recommend

I ordered butter chicken, tandoori platter and cheese garlic naan for take away and
I requested them to make it Indian style and not very sweet thankfully, we really enjoyed it! Chicken was flavoursome and tender, I would surely come back and try new dishes. One of the best restaurant so far in Eltham/ Greensborough area.

Machans has always been the best. I've been going there since I was a child over 17 years. Every time I go, even now; the owner gives me a lollipop just like he used to. Wonderful food, wonderful people.

Best Indian in the Eltham-Warrandyte area. Not oily like other restaurants. & Dining in is a great experience.

The food is great. Staff are very pleasant. Highly recommended. One of the best Indian food we ever had. Tandoori prawns is our favourite.

Just great. I always feel loved and can't wait for yet another visit. Gentle well made food.

Great menu choices and prepared to individual tastes. Service excellent and clients treated respectfully and with personal interests of utmost importance.

Disappointing.

Look, if you have no dietary requirements, go ahead and eat here, the food is good.

However, I follow a plant-based/Vegan diet, and every time I ordered my take away I verified my dish will be just that. Each time the answer was yes, even when hesitated at first and Put me on hold to check.

After ordering the same dish a few times, when asked for it to be vegan, I was told "We use a pinch of butter" in it. To my question, if that can be avoided, they said no. So basically, I have either been either lied to, or this restaurant staff has no idea of their dish's ingredients. Either way, I Will not be eating there again.

Best Lamb Biriyani!
Wow! Could not possibly execute such a dish at home that even comes close to the expert hand of the chefs here.
Often an afterthought dish to curries.this was fragrant, generous and simply perfect.
We ate in, and I recommend as such.

Also, the prawn tandoori special was ABOVE and BEYOND. The staff were kind to make a half serve (4 prawns for $11) for our daughters, and it was DIVINE.

Thankyou to the chef, and young team serving us the other night.

Not our first dining here, but certainly the best.

Hands down the best Indian restaurant in our area - try the Samosas they are the perfect amount of spice!

Genuinely the best Indian I've ever eaten. The menu covers a lot of both popular and non-typical foods, and everything is done extremely well. Waiting staff and owner are kind and attentive. I have recommended this place to everyone I know!

The best place to dine in, special greet to the owner super chill and fantastic service, he is always there to provide a awesome and tasteful food with natural indian food, and the price are so cheap as well for the quality

Would never buy from this place. Picked up takeaway on Friday 6th May. As I reached and paid, this guy had full on attitude and did not even say hi or hello. Took payment and did not say how long, I just waited. Came and passed 15 mins later (already 50 mins since I ordered while I was told 30). Got home and paneer tikka had a piece of chicken (it was for friends that do not eat meat/poultry). Entire set of food was full of oil and tasted stale and pretty much tasteless. I guess you guys are banking on people that probably do not know what authentic Indian food is. One of the worst places

I just had dinner at Machan this evening. Always a brilliant experience. Great food, kind and helpful efficient service. I am proud to know the owner and to call it my favourite family restaurant in Eltham. I highly recommend Machan for an authentic and delightful eating out experience. The owner goes o er and above to make us feel welcome every time.

I love this restaurant. I come here with my friends often and they are always so helpful while providing the most amazing food. I also ordered through Uber Eats and forgot to mention I wanted to alter one of their dishes. I called the restaurant and they were so kind and able to meet my request without any hesitation. Couldn’t speak more highly of Machan!
