Just got take out here and was pleasantly surprised that it was given with a free tote bag and a complementary rice pudding! Best range of vegan and veg options in the area as well and wonderful variety of food! 10/10 recommend!

Indian Essence in Elsternwick is a true culinary gem! The food is absolutely amazing—flavour-packed, beautifully presented, and authentic. Service is top-notch: attentive, efficient, and warm. The vibe is elevated by the friendliest staff, creating a welcoming, vibrant atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone who loves great Indian food!

One of the best Laksa places with a. Wide variety of other dishes. Can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. Family friendly, wish they served beer cause they got some snacks that would go just perfect with some drinks. I hope this place doesn't blow up, it is my go to place for a quick dinner.

Not sure why there are so many bad reviews but we didn't try the old owners. The food we got with the new owners was good, we were happy with the cashew chicken and black bean beef. The portions were great, lots of meat, lots of veggies and we were very happy with our meal. We were surprised to see so many poor reviews recently! It may not be gourmet food but fantastic value for money, tasty, and we'll definitely be back

Ordered spicy kimchi pork belly Bento and spicy karaage. The service was pretty fast - under ten minutes for both. The portions, as can be seen from the photos, were VERY generous. This fed two people. The prices are also reasonable, considering the portion and taste. The service from the worker was outstanding, he was very friendly. Only downside is there was no music playing so the atmosphere felt a little quiet. Will definitely be back again!
