Order Food in ripponlea

This has been my favourite Indian restaurant in Melbourne since I first discovered it way back, in 1994! Over the years I brought so many friends, family, colleagues, and they all loved it! The whole experience has been the same all these years - the service, food, atmosphere all have a feel an upscale restaurant. When you add moderate pricing to that, it certainly makes it a must visit place. It is very hard to pick a favourite dish, as all food chef Narender makes is great. Still, i may mention a few. My favourite dish has been, from the beginning, chicken pakora, but I would also highly recommend: - bagare baingan (eggplant dish) - onion chili kulcha (spicy stuffed bread). I also have to mention friendly smiles of the owners Reeta and Narender Behl, which make you feel like you are visiting their home, rather than their business. Highly recommended!

We love this restaurant so much, sometimes we go multiple times in one week. The food is incredible, always fresh and delicious. Don't listen to the other reviews mentioning portion size, the portions are more than generous and represent great value for money. The owners and staff are so friendly and accommodating, they can always fit our large family in at short notice. Get the housemade prawn crackers, crispy chicken with noodles (ask for the soup on the side), and all the vermicelli dishes are delicious too. Cannot recommend highly enough. The best Vietnamese on Victoria St.

Love a nan and pop owned restaurant, lovely service and prompt. Food is pretty standard Chinese food, we ordered noodle dishes. Good amount and tenderness of the beef brisket and beef pieces. Soup was fairly tasty, noodles were the typical store bought which I don’t particularly like the texture of but food is food. Decent price as well.

We were so pleased to see our favourite casual Vietnamese restaurant is open again after a fire caused the temporary closure. The food is still as good as ever. It’s so fresh and tasty. The staff are very friendly. We will be back soon to support this small family run business.

A real treasure when it comes to flavour, portions, and affordability! Their $10 dishes are full of flavour, and we’ve enjoyed everything we’ve tried so far. The Hainan chicken, in particular, was incredibly juicy and tender — just amazing. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
