Dana pani indian restaurant — Restaurant in Melbourne

The customer service at Dani Pani is great not to mention the intimate ambience. I have been coming back to this place every now and then and started recommending it to all of my friends here because we loved the food at Dana Pani but off lately ,the food quality has deteriorated .The last 2-3 times the take away experience hasn’t been great.

I have to say that their Dal & Biryani were good… as the reputation perceive them. What I didn’t enjoy was the Goan curry, as to me it was nowhere close to the authentic Goan curry.

Good place for traditional Indian food though. I’d come back only for...

The customer service at Dani Pani is world-class not to mention the decor and intimate ambience. I am in awe of how reasonably priced this place is for such an authentic fine-dining experience. I have been returning to this place nearly every week and intend to bring all of my friends and family here because it has enough space to cater for large groups without being crowded whilst also providing the opportunity for an intimate quiet dinner - I want this place to stay open forever! I honestly can say this is probably the best indian food I have ever had (not even joking)! Thanks Dani Pani staff for being so hospitable (recommending and even remembering the dishes we had...
