What a shame! We were recommended to come here and it was such a disappointment, we were seated next to the windows and the restaurant was very cold, we hadn't had the menus for more than a minute before we were asked if ready to order, which of course we weren't. What we ordered; papadums and mango chutney, to start, followed by, beef Madras, butter chicken, plain naan, saffron rice. We were so surprised when the main meal came out and we hadnt even been brought our papadums and chutney. We told the waitress this and she just said, yes, they are coming. Never have we been to an Indian restaurant and recieved our entrees with the main. However, we did not recieve them, some time later a girl brought the mango chutney, but the papadums never arrived. The butter chicken was bright red and tasted just like Heinz tomato soup with next to no spice at all, the beef madras (which we expected to be very spicy) was completely bland and had zero spice. The rice was nice and the naan was very good. We went to the bar to pay the bill, we explained our disappointment about not receiving the papadums and she didn't seem bothered. She charged us nearly $90 and we hadn't even seen the bill. She then showed the bill and it had the chutney on, which we asked to be removed as we hadn't eaten it because they never brought the accompanying dish. She seemed to not understand what we were complaining about, but removed the charge for the chutney. We felt she would understand once she went to clear our table and then would realise the chutney was untouched and where she left it because there was no papadums brought to us. No one came to check on us during our meal, so there was no chance to bring it up. We left cold and...

Lentils Indian Restaurant in Torquay, VIC

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Best Indian Restaurant in Torquay VIC!

During our recent day trip along the scenic Great Ocean Road, we wrapped up the evening with a dinner stop at Lentils Indian Restaurant in Torquay — and what an absolute gem this place turned out to be!

From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the lovely couple who own and run the restaurant. Their hospitality was exceptional — genuine, attentive, and made us feel like family. The ambiance is cozy, modern, and thoughtfully designed, creating the perfect environment to unwind after a long drive.

Now to the food — every single dish we ordered was a star on its own, yet together they created an unforgettable feast. We tried the Punjabi Chicken Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Palak Paneer — each dish was rich in flavour, perfectly spiced, and tasted authentically home-cooked. The Lacha Paratha, Butter Naan, and Garlic Naan were soft, fresh, and the ideal companions to scoop up every last bite of those delicious gravies.

You can truly taste the love and care put into each dish. It’s rare to find such balance — flavor, presentation, portion size, and atmosphere — all ticking the right boxes.

Without a doubt, this is the best Indian restaurant in Torquay, and possibly one of the most satisfying Indian dining experiences we’ve had in Victoria. 10/10 — highly recommended to anyone visiting or passing through this beautiful coastal town.
