Having recently moved to Sale for work purposes, I can’t get enough of this restaurant in the town of Sale. The food is explosive, and very reasonably priced. I have been addicted to it since I moved here, and will sadly miss it when I head back to Melbourne next year.

The food
Having been there a number of times, and ordering take aways several other times I can honestly say the quality is excellent. This restaurant competes very well with some of the best Indian restaurants in Melbourne. I can’t believe such a gem is hidden in Central Gippsland. If you are a Melbournian and are around Sale, its definitely worth a try.

My favourite is definitely the Paneer Makhani. The tangy taste which hits you a few seconds after you ingest it is incredible. It’s a taste party! Similar the tandoori chicken is a favourite among non-vegatarians.

The service
Nothing to complain about here. The ambience is also pretty average but who cares when you have such great tasting food. I have been to various Indian restaurants in Melbourne which have much better ambience, decore’ but have absolutely cr-p food!

The price
Their takeaway packages are a real hit, and very affordable. I don’t know how they manage to turn a profit. For $35 you get a vegatarian meal for 2, which will last you two separate meals each. Their eat in prices are also very affordable, and appropriately priced. 10 people can eat there heartily for around $250 dollars all up, which comes to $25 per person which is great.

Summary – Hidden gem in the heart of Central Gippsland (9.5/10)
I highly recommend this restaurant to all those in Sale, and tourists in the area. A hidden gem indeed!
