Dhaka Restaurant - Melbourne

Don't go here, don't spend your hard earned cash on frozan rotis and microwaved Indian/Bangladeshi curries. I'm not the best of cooks but I do a better pilau rice at home. The most authentic part of our night was the reaction to a female (me), ordering a JB and coke. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Having lived in Bangladesh, we enjoy the food, it is different from Indian. Although restaurant is small. The food was very tasty. If you have a favorite meal just ask them, they may be able to cook for you. Only negative was there was no beer as they had runout.

This small restaurant was empty at a time when those around it were crowded which caused us to be wary but the service was good, the value excellent and the food very tasty. I had a mutton Biriyani with goat as the meat. Well cooked, well presented and I would dine here again on another Melbourne visit.

The food was freshly prepared and beautifully spiced. I carelessly ordered something a bit too hot for me and asked for yoghurt and was given a whole bowl full. They let us take the leftovers home in a takeaway box. Wide range of options on the menu and food made fresh to order. Service was a bit slow but the food certainly made up for it and portions were quite big.

The lamb rogan josh was watery and had very little taste other than chilli. The rice was dry , no mineral water available so settled for tap water, the bottle was covered in dust. The door didn't close properly so the restaurant was freezing and the whole place didn't feel very clean. The onion bhaji was OK, but cold. Very disappointed. Best thing I can say is it was cheap.
