A few years ago I used to go to the Palms in Syndal/Glen Waverley, and remember it being good, but I drove past the other day and it’s closed 🙁
It got me thinking where could I get Indian food that actually tastes like food in India, not the “British Indian” we normally get. I went to a little cafe called Vel, at the spice shops in Carrum Downs when I was buying spices to make some curries at home, and that seemed pretty good, I’ll attach a photo of my lunch.
What are your recommendations?

My Indian friend says his house but didn’t want to give out his address 😞
India, probably.
Priya in point Cook is very good
West footscray is your zone. Also Clayton
Clayton has a number of Indian restaurants. I personally have enjoyed Anshumann – though cannot speak to its authenticity as I am yet to go to India.
Sahib E Swad next door is equally tasty.
Bit further down the road- Jay Bhavani vada pav just opened- I’m yet to go but really want to.
Sweet india is opposite.
Aangan has been recommended to me by an indian colleague.
There’s also heaps of really good indian food trucks a quick walk from the strip. They’ve my go-to for panipuri and dosa.
As someone that has had a lot of Indian food, 90% of restaurants food tastes very similar, 5% of restaurants food tastes unique and is delicious and the other 5% are delicious, but are expensive, like Atta in Albert Park.
Babaji’s Kitchen in Belgrave.
Their potato masala, south indian lamb, and the goat curry all slap so fucking hard.
A personal favourite outside of the usual enclaves is Did U Eat on Victoria Street in Richmond, close to North Richmond station.
It’s firmly in the North West Indian/Pakistani territory, but mama mia she’s a ripper. The minced lamb is one of my favourite foods in the world. Great atmosphere, great prices, great food.
Did U Eat?
