Delhi Streets — Restaurant in Melbourne

We recently visited this restaurant and, unfortunately, had a very disappointing experience.

We ordered Pav Bhaji and also took as takeaway. The Pav Bhaji was good, but most of the other dishes did not meet expectations. The Aloo Tikki Chaat was average – the tikki was extremely hard and difficult to cut into. The Paneer wrap was mostly filled with lettuce and leaves, with barely any paneer or salad. It felt unbalanced, and the sauce made it quite unappetizing.

In the veg thali, there weren’t many options. We chose the carrot curry and dal makhani. While the dal was decent, the carrot curry wasn’t enjoyable. The naan served with the thali was also undercooked and doughy, which made the meal even less satisfying. We also ordered the paneer pizza, but it lacked proper toppings and was overloaded with long-cut onions, which didn’t work well.

The atmosphere added to the disappointment. It was extremely noisy, and during our visit, workers were cutting iron pipes right next to the dining area. The loud sound of machinery made it impossible to relax or enjoy the meal. It didn’t feel like a pleasant or comfortable environment to dine in.

On top of that, service was lacking. The place is very cramped, and seating is always a challenge. The serving staff seemed nervous and unconfident — one of the girls even tripped at our table. While we understand that mistakes happen, this level of unprofessionalism has become too common.

We used to enjoy coming here, but sadly, the overall quality of both food and service has gone downhill. We truly hope the management considers this feedback seriously and makes improvements — especially with the atmosphere, food quality, and...

I've been in the CBD for over six years, and walking through the doors of Delhi Streets remains one of my most memorable experiences as an Indian. Initially skeptical about their four-star rating, my doubts quickly vanished once the food arrived. As an Indian, I can say that many of us are often reluctant to embrace new things, regardless of where we are. In this context, it's worth noting that if you're a hardcore traditionalist or a recent arrival, you might find the food here a bit Westernized to suit the Australian palate.

We ordered two thali meals, selecting our curries from the list on the wall. The service was exceptional, and the view of the live kitchen, where a girl was making naan in a hot oven, added an informative and transparent touch.

I've tried many thali meals, and it's one mine and my partner's favorite Indian dishes. The variety of curries offered in a thali showcases the diverse flavors of Indian cuisine. The Delhi Streets experience was one of the best meals I've had, and the pricing was reasonable.

If I had to point out one downside, it would be the seating. It's a bit cramped but well managed. The seating overlooks the streets, which I personally find comfortable. However, I understand that this might be inconvenient for many Indians, even if it's insignificant in the context of Australian culture.

Overall, the pricing is perfect for what you get, making it great value for money. The experience was exceptional, and I'm eager to bring my Caucasian and Asian friends here for a lovely meal. I'm sure they'll love it too. I 100% recommend this place if you're craving Indian food this evening. Thanks to the team at...
