Sher-e-punjab

I wish there was smell-​o-​vision because my photos don’t convey the delicious aromas that spiralled into the air when the dishes hit the table. Soft comfy dining chairs, modern décor punctuated by impressive Indian portraits, soft lighting and a great mix of Bollypop and classical Indian music made our evening so relaxing. And the food? Exquisitely, delightfully, delicious!

First impression is the last impression, that’s what exactly happened here with us.
Music — WHAT A TORTURE IT WAS!
We ordered our regular starter «Gobhi Manchurian». We requested it to be extra crispy but they misunderstood and made it Extra Saggy!
Mains turn — Kadhai Paneer was absolutely freshly made and yet the taste was just average. The ambience is pretty nice but nice lights can make it even better.
Customer Service and the Chefs need serious training.
The place is not that great for the money one can spend here, would definitely not recommend it to anyone. Rather once can walk down Clayton Rd and rather go to Anshuman’s which is probably much better option.

Living locally to the area, my wife and I usually pop up to Springvale on a Friday night for a bowl of phở. However this particular Friday night we were feeling lazy and decided to eat in. The pamphlet arrived a few days earlier for this place in Clayton and both being fans of Indian food we thought,‘what the hell?’.We rang up and ordered bhajis, chicken biryani, lamb vindaloo etc and drove up to pick it up. What a beautiful restaurant! They have obviously spent a lot of cash fixing it up, apparently it was a pharmacy for many years and the transformation is incredible. Hardwood floors, ambient lighting, crisp white tableclothes and a fully stocked bar. We waited a short time for our food to be ready while the friendly staff chatted away to us, all family of course as if often the case but they made us feel really welcome. I commented to my wife that we ought to come for a sit down meal one night. Prices are average, around $ 15 for a main meal and $ 5-​$ 6 for rice but the food was fantastic, the coconut rice had real coconut shavings through it and the dipping sauces were a plenty. Beautiful restaurant, beautiful food and terrific service, a real gem there in Clayton.
