Indians Again Restaurant — Restaurant in Melbourne

Dear Indians Again,

Before I start my review, kindly take this as constructive feedback, so you can better the taste of food.

Ordered for a chilli chicken and Gobi Manchurian for take away online.

The food was made promptly and the sweets staff at the reception gave us a call once the food was ready and she even asked for feedback when collecting the food. Very rare nowadays in the hospitality industry.

Now coming to the food.

Chilli Chicken - the food was fresh, the first bite is a flavour explosion, however subsequent bites you can just feel the chilli and the flavour is lost. You can actually feel the copious amounts of red chilli crushed paste which has been stir fried with the chicken and after the second bite as I could feel my mouth and gut burning. This chilli chicken would be ideal if your from the regions of Kolhapur, Guntur, Rajasthan where they eat a lot of red chillies. For the masses I would suggest to tone down the red chillies and add fresh cute green chillies which will reduce the spice but add more freshness. Although it's a dry preparation, Personally I wouldn't mind it to be a little more saucy as well.

Gobi Manchurian - Reminds me more of the Gobi Manjuri from Karnataka. Although the Gobi was nice and crispy and remained like that even after bringing it home, it lacked flavour and tasted more like just batter fried cauliflower where you would ideally taste oil. As cauliflower tends to absorb more oil, would again prefer it to be more saucy, which can mask the taste of the oil and a little more generous on the spring onion greens.

I hope with this feedback, I look forward to coming back more and enjoying your food.

Thank you once again everyone at Indians Again.

Oh yes Gulab Jamun is spelled wrong on...

I have been in Australia for a couple of years and I am a huge foodie. I eat out frequently and I have been to various restaurants in and around Melbourne and in other suburbs as well.

I came to know about this restaurant from a friend and decided to pay a visit. I had my hopes high since I have tasted authentic and good Indian food in other restaurants. However, the food did not meet my expectations and I was really disappointed by the overall taste of the food. The food lacked basic things like salt and spices and most importantly FLAVOUR.

The girl who served the food to me was really sweet and I loved the way she displayed hospitality. 10/10 to the girls who serve and who are at the front desk. During my time, I could see and hear the chef shouting at the people who are working in the kitchen and honestly, I despise places where one of the colleagues doesn't respect the others. It was a huge standout for me and it really made my entire experience a bad one too. 4/10 for the Chef and Food, 10/10 for the other...

I despise writing negative reviews, however with the rising cost of living, interest rates rising and for many, eating out now being a special occasion or treat, you should give this place a wide berth unfortunately. Perhaps the cook or owner has changed recently? The price is on the higher side although the food is a miss. Unfortunately everything was bland, just generally lacking any flavour. The exception may be the plain rice with hints of clove and cardamom throughout. The chicken tikka was excessively priced, I get everything is rising in costs although $22 for 4 x 1" cubed pieces that were bland, equating to $6 per piece, this is a bit over the top. The lamb Rogan Josh tasted like pressure cooked lamb with a watered down sauce that just lacked any flavour. The breads are wafer thin and bland. Everything was a miss unfortunately. In total $87 for 2 people I would expect something far better. Save yourself the...
