Order Food in caulfield-south

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!

The portion size are generally ok. Price is a bit varied. The diced beef rice with tomato rice cost $5 more compared to plain rice. Not sure if it's worth it. Also, the portoion of beef cubes are too small for a $19 dish. The taste is average.

Love a nan and pop owned restaurant, lovely service and prompt. Food is pretty standard Chinese food, we ordered noodle dishes. Good amount and tenderness of the beef brisket and beef pieces. Soup was fairly tasty, noodles were the typical store bought which I don’t particularly like the texture of but food is food. Decent price as well.

We were so pleased to see our favourite casual Vietnamese restaurant is open again after a fire caused the temporary closure. The food is still as good as ever. It’s so fresh and tasty. The staff are very friendly. We will be back soon to support this small family run business.

August 2025: What a great find. Was walking along the lane towards Glenferrie train station when I noticed this restaurant. Apparently, it opened only 6 months prior. I am local and was not aware of this new establishment. Very pleased to see this restaurant in this location. The Penang White Curry Mee is not a dish you find in most Malaysian restaurants in Melbourne. I was pleasantly surprised to see a photo of this dish (amongst other great dishes) on their front wall. That's not all, it is priced much less than asian dishes prior to 2020. Congratulations to the owners of this restaurant for making it affordable for students and locals alike who seek out & enjoy genuine Malaysian Chinese cuisine. Will definitely be back to sample all the other dishes with friends. The staff members are very friendly and attentive. They will answer any questions you may have with a smile. I really enjoyed dining here. I highly recommend this restaurant 👌
