Reviews

Bua Ji serves up the most delicious Indian cuisine in Melbourne. My mouth has discovered its purpose. The curries pop as an explosion of flavour courses across my tastebuds overloading my senses.

- Dario Canale -

The best Indian I’ve had period. Perfectly seasoned and zero oily taste that many restaurants have so we scooped every last bit of sauce. the chicken was very moist. We left feeling happy and fresh. Not to mention amazing and friendly service. Very welcoming and generous. Will be coming again and was worth the drive.

Just finished dinner here and I am so full... The Bhaji chicken special curry was so delicious. Also, one of the best naan I have ever had. All up, delicious food, attentive and kind service. Would absolutely come again next time we are in Melbourne.

This was our first visit and we had the most wonderful experience. The food was visually stunning and the taste was ever better. I love that everything was freshly made and that the service was so calmly welcoming. Thank you! Can’t wait for our next visit.

Delicious curry, wonderful owner who gave my 6 month old an extra staw to play with, also offered to hold him so we can eat. Highly recommended.

We had such a lovely dinner tonight. My partner couldn’t stop raving about the Chicken Kadai Curry, while I fell in love with Buaji’s Special Chicken Biryani — full of spice, flavour, and comfort. The Mango Lassi was the perfect touch — creamy, fruity, and just right with everything else we ordered. On top of that, the atmosphere was calm and welcoming. The lady who we think might be the owner was so friendly and kind — her warm energy made the experience even better. It’s not just the food that stood out, but the whole vibe of the place. After trying so many Indian restaurants around Melbourne, this one has definitely made it to the top of our list.

A refreshingly extensive menu of delicious and authentic Indian cuisine. Generous portions and a delightful host. We’ll be back for sure! (Pic is of our UK guest devouring his mango lassi, which he said was ‘bahoodt atcha’, ie very good.)
