Average pho.
Ordered number 2, chicken and beef- soup fine taste. Beef was a bit chewy, and chicken was fine. Average.
Ordered beef and tendon. Soup fine. Beef again chewy. Tendons were 50% soft and nice and 50% tough and not cooked.
The spring rolls, two for $7 were also dense to eat. Like eating a boiled sweet, they were crispy but maybe how they fried it was hard to eat.
Average. Better options in Clayton and Springvale.

Consistently good coffee. Everything here is made by the owner, and is very fresh. Even the bread is homemade, and is excellent. Has a very large and varied menu for breakfast, lunch and snacks. Don't be quick to pass this one by. Low key, and easily overlooked amongst the other food spots in this stretch of Centre Road, E Bentleigh, but definitely worth trying.

This place is an absolute treasure of an Indian restaurant that should be on every food lover's radar. Despite being very old, the restaurant's impeccable maintenance speaks volumes about the owners' dedication to their establishment.
The authenticity of the food is what truly stands out. Every dish carries genuine Indian flavors that transport you straight to the streets of Delhi or Mumbai. While the entire menu impresses, the aloo tikki is an absolute must-try - perfectly seasoned and prepared with obvious care and tradition. And don't leave without sampling their mango ice cream for dessert, which provides the perfect sweet finish to your meal.
What elevates the experience beyond just excellent food is the remarkable service. The staff's attentiveness creates an atmosphere that makes you feel genuinely welcomed and valued. Their approach to hospitality is truly exceptional.
The people running this restaurant embody humility while displaying complete confidence in their culinary offerings - a combination that's reflected in every aspect of the dining experience. Their passion and expertise are evident in each carefully crafted dish.
For anyone seeking authentic Indian cuisine, I give this restaurant my 100% recommendation. The moment you step inside, you'll feel right at home in an environment that celebrates both tradition and hospitality. This isn't just a meal; it's a cultural experience worth savoring.
