Bhaiyaji's — Restaurant in Melbourne

My wife and I recently visited Bhaiyaji's where we tried the Paav Bhaji and Chole Bhature. While we were excited to try these popular dishes, we found that the taste was just okayish and didn't quite live up to our expectations.

The Paav Bhaji was decent, with a good balance of spices and vegetables. However, we found that it lacked the depth of flavor that we were hoping for. The bread was also a bit too dense for our liking.

The Chole Bhature was also just okayish, with a decent amount of flavor and spice. However, the chickpeas were a bit undercooked and lacked the tenderness that we expected. The bread was also a bit oily for our liking, and we found it a bit heavy to eat.

We indulged in their Mix Paratha and Ragada chat, and both dishes were simply delicious. The Mix Paratha was perfectly crispy and flavorful, while the Ragada chat had a delightful blend of spices and textures.

The service was efficient, and the staff was polite and attentive. The restaurant had a clean and well-maintained ambiance, but it lacked the warmth and character that we usually look for in a dining experience.

Overall, while the Paav Bhaji and Chole Bhature were decent, they didn't quite live up to our expectations. If you're looking for a place to try these dishes, this restaurant might be worth a visit but don't expect anything...

Bhaiyaji's Tarniet Rd has dropped down from good to worst choice of food. Initially we used to love going there and enjoy delicious food. The owner was so involved in the business and was very customer oriented person. We used to visit every now and then.

With the change of management, the quality and taste of food started getting worst. My favourite Raj Bhog icecream got served with crystals in it. Nice a crispy Bread Pakoda has become just a uncooked curry feeling.

Today I tried their food after a long gap. Online order says free delivery over $50 order. After submitting the order, I received a call stating that they do not have delivery person and want me to pick my ordered food.

While picking the parcel, noticed that the Bread Pakoda was worst then earlier. Very soft, cold and with all curry spilling out. The salesgirl was not happy to cancel it. She is not prepared to provide her owner's contact and want me to contact them over Facebook only... I paid for whole order and left that Bread Pakoda for them to have.

Anyone who think of visiting this place, please think twice. Do not waste your money and spoil...

Edit

Changing the rating from 5 to 3 as they have increased the prices which I understand why, probably due to the pandemic but I've been wondering why they have decreased the quality and quantity of several things.

Changing the rating again after a month from 3 to 2 because of the below reason:

Golgappa's quality is pathetic as they seem to have been bought from Indian grocery store which anyone can buy 40 to 50 golgappas for $2 or $3. Moreover, the quantity of the water was extremely less that we can eat only 3 to 4 golgappas at max. After COVID this restaurant has become terrible. I'll never go there again!!!

OLD REVIEW 5 RATING

It's one of the best Indian restaurants in the town. We've tried several different items (golgappe, tikki, chat, noodles, masala soda, virgin mojito, paan) till now and liked almost everything except mojito which wasn't good at all. It wasn't mojito in fact and I think they should either remove it from their menu or learn to make a good mojito professionally. However, overall I'm more than satisfied with their quality and prices. Restaurant is pretty spacious and clean....
