I never write reviews but I have to after tonight’s meal. Hands down the best Indian food around. Possibly the best meal I’ve ever had. Do yourself a favour and head into the Aldinga Bay Cafe.
Service was top notch. Our server was personable, friendly and knowledgeable. We asked our server her recommendations and allowed her to direct our meal. We were not disappointed.
Friday night so there was a steady flow however our meal entrees and mains were timed perfectly. From that alone we could tell the kitchen staff knew what they were doing and we were in for a great meal.
The food is simply delicious. Fresh, clean flavours. It was evident the Chef and his staff were first class. Generous portion sizes with plenty to share around. You could taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that’s been put into each plate. Fantastic value too.
During our meal, owner and Chef Arbind personally welcomed us and made sure our meals were to our liking. After our meal he talked with us for awhile, his personality, generosity and sincerity shining through. Arbind makes you feel like an old friend.
All the staff were happy to be there. Customers were welcomed like family. You could see that the customers had come back time and time again. A genuine and welcoming atmosphere. Arbind and his staff truly value their customers.
We’ll be back, it’s our...

We called the Cafe to see what's happened here i.e is this cooked fresh or heated up? We spoke to the owner/ manager, his first response was " everybody nukes takeaway" he was was rude and insisted it was cooked fresh. After a few minutes of logical back and fourth we offered a refund if I took it back, didn't offer to replace at all as we still needed dinner, the owner constantly pushed back insisting nothing was wrong. Definitely will not be returning or...
