Naga Moon — Restaurant in Melbourne

OMG❤️❤️🍸🍸🍸 I found my favourite restaurant....I had a good feeling about this place and I was more then right. As I had special requirements (my husband health issue) I had to see the place before confirming my booking..And The beautiful Bree (not Brie🙏🏻🙏🏻!)welcomed me kindly And reassured me with my table and my requests.. That was already a good start..Then We met Tonight Chris...the owner...I promise you, He knows what he is doing🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻What a night❤️ The food was Absolutely delicious and the service More then perfect...We were all absolutely crazy about our 2 starters the tuna and the king fish .Then we took 5 Wagyu beef spring rolls...Full of flavours.. The sticky pork roll is to die for...(just order more as it's only one serve and you will fight if you share🤣🤣🤣) The coconut crispy prawn on betel leaf is a must Everything on the plate is exquisite The coconut mousse the Nahm jam talay ... Absolutely delicious Then as "larger plates" to share we tried the pork belly With beautiful fresh crunchy salad on top..The silky tofu and eggplant was served on a bed of delicious seasoned vegetables.The charred cabbage will reconciled anyone with cabbage....Stunning.. To make it short 🤣🤣🤣I can't sorry🤣🤣🤣...The cocktails were great. And cherry on the cake I discover One of my favourite rare French Rosé..From The hinterland of Provence ..The ONLY one I like...I don't like côtes de Provence but this one Call "Domaine d'Ott "is very special in France and rare to find as well.... I didn't have it for 30 yrs!! I am from Paris and Tasted when I was on holiday in Antibes in the South of France... Then Chris Brought us a Rose From Bandol. !❤️ Another gem..And perfect with Thai food..I highly recommend these 2 wines..But in case you are not into Rosé (not sweet! I promise) !)I am sure that Chris can help you to pick the perfect one for you. After dinner I complimented the team in the open kitchen.. ..They are all passionate ..I told them How I felt and they were very happy.....and smiling.. That's prove again that Chris is doing things right..I will be back with friends and again the family ..Merci merci ...Don't change And I wish you all the success you deserve ❤️🙏🏻🍸🍸🍸 Thank you for a fabulous night for my...

REVIEW: ❤ Overall, the food was very good. The standouts were: Roti Basket. I'm talking flaky, crispy, buttery, Indian flatbread. Beautifully displayed yet soft, it was a delicious side. Would recommend this if you enjoy a great Roti. Sticky chicken ribs. After garnishing it with a fresh squeeze of lemon for that tangy bite, the sweet wings get your hands dirty. But it's really fun and worth it. Great for the table. Pandan Tiramisu. Had the distinct grassiness of pandan. Light and delicious, it was a unique take on the classic tiramisu. Other than that, the food in generally was above average. There wasn't any dish that felt specific to Naga Moon, though.

Service was the best. 🎈 It was my birthday, and we were encouraged to party it up by the beautiful brown haired (tall) waitress. It felt like she had brought the fun atmosphere with her, which was immaculate. Definitely come to Naga Moon for an occasion! ♻ We had a bit of a hiccup with one of our entree dishes. After raising our concerns, they kindly replaced/recooked and provided a whole portion without much fuss. That was so kind of them as well. Great hospitality and service.

Photos are shocking because of the green light, though. 😂 Sorry, I can't do...

Starting with the good - fantastic service, we loved the staff. We loved the wine and most of the food. It was pretty quiet, not a lively atmosphere but still good. The highlight was the kingfish which and if you’ve been to chin chin you’ll know that it is definitely inspired by theirs..delicious! Roti was perfectly flaky. We did the feast option and we found it to be more than enough food and a great selection. The things that stood out but not in a good way was the price point, its definitely on the pricey side and as we are totally happy to pay for good food without a doubt, I have to mention why it’s not exactly worth it. I think if you’re going to charge that much per dish it needs to be executed perfectly and you’d want to enjoy it. The mango sticky rice was incredibly underwhelming. Having lived in Thailand and my wife being Thai, I’ve had my fair share of Thai food. It’s defrosted mushy mango and the sticky rice wasn’t great. The kafir lime was a good addition but really unnecessary. The pork was good but nothing to be remembered. The Thai green curry sauce was great but the char grilled chicken overpowered everything, but this could just be personal preference as it is a dish we eat quite often. Spring rolls were okay but again, a spin on chin chins spring rolls. Seems like if they were to tweak some of the dishes and adjust the price accordingly until they build up some excitement over the place, people would probably be more inclined to pay. Lastly, this didn’t ruin the night we had. We had a great time but thought maybe some constructive criticism might be useful as a new...
