We had a wonderful experience at Indian Essence. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious — full of authentic flavors, perfectly spiced, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried tasted fresh and satisfying. Even though the tandoor oven wasn’t working, they served us tawa rotis instead, and they were soft, fresh, and absolutely amazing. What really stood out was the kindness of the staff and chef. The chef was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to stay seated until we finished our meal without rushing us. That level of hospitality truly made our evening special. Highly recommend for both the food and the exceptional service!

The GOAT fish and chips spot. Authentic, delicious and very fsirly priced whilst all the staff are incredibly friendly every time I come! Couldn't recommend more. Keep up the great work!

A very elegant Indian restaurant, it was the first one I tried in Melbourne! My friend recommended me to come here. I have always loved butter chicken. The Naan here has a very crispy texture and is delicious! The cream and tomato flavors in the butter chicken are very rich and fragrant! It was really a pleasant dining experience!

La Chanh is another solid Vietnamese spot along Victoria Street with a wide range of dishes. We tried the pho and the vermicelli bowl. The pho had a light, delicious beef stock with chicken — no heavy MSG or oily feel like some other spots on the street. The noodles were okay in texture, and the chicken was cooked nicely. The vermicelli bowl was refreshing, and the chicken was cooked well. We also added a side of pork, which I felt could’ve been slightly more charred to get that smoky flavour that many places do. Overall, a decent experience and another good option along Victoria Street.

Returning to this restaurant after more than 10 years, the same tasty dishes and friendly owners make me feel at home. This place will be my canteen for lunch 4 days a week.
