Order Food in moonee-ponds

I had a wonderful dining experience at Indian Essence Place! The please was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, with a great variety of options on the menu. I particularly enjoyed the starter and chicken dum biryani, which was cooked to perfection. The service was prompt, and the portion sizes were generous. Whether you're looking for a casual meal or a special night out, I highly recommer his place. I will definitely be coming back!

Ok so let's deal with the first impressions. The restaurant is adorned with plastic pink flowers on a plastic green leaf vine type thing around the restaurant with pictures/Paintings that just don't really work. But the food! It was delicious. Three different dishes, each absolutely beautiful. Whoever is cooking the food is getting a great balance of lemongrass, ginger, chili and all other aromatics. Really impressed with the quality and quantity of what was served. From my one time experience of this place, I would go back without hesitation. In fact I will be.

Sweet corn and chicken soup had the consistency of snot and didn't have much flavour. Everything else good. Batter on the honey chicken was a bit soggy but still tasty

The food is amazing and we get 2 dinners and a small lunch out of our $30 order of 1 Butter Chicken, 1 Rice, 1 Raita, love it and 2 Naan Bread. Our order is always ready and waiting the Customer Service faultless. I'm a Local and Bombay Cafe and Westmeadows Fish and Chips are outstanding...

Good rice and curry buffet. All the essential curries were there however the hoppers took a long time to come out. Live music adds a really nice touch to the Sri Lankan feel. The place is nicely set up, clean and well decorated but can get very crowded after 7 pm. Overall another good Sri Lankan Joint.

The burger patties are quite thin and the chicken burger was very oily. The cheese fries only had cheese on the top half. There are definitely better burger places in the area.
