Great place hidden away downstairs. Lovely food and popular. Starter came quickly but we'd been there 40 mins before my main arrived (just after we asked if it was coming soon). It was a tofu panang and I skipped the tofu as it was too chewy which left me with broccoli, carrots and a few green beans. Still, it was tasty. Wouldn't order it again. Curry puffs were so delicious - melt in the mouth!

I have been lucky to experience this restaurant chain in Singapore and USA. The Melbourne restaurant is equally as tasty with lots of variety on the menu and everything to perfection. Price in general is high end comparing to having the same dishes in say China but overall we had a nice time and enjoyed every dish.

Food was very good and thoroughly enjoyed. Service was slow in getting our drinks out which was disappointing. Overall, a good venue to catch up with friends.
