Saleem Indian Restaurant - Coburg

Classic 80's venue and decor, double shops, so business is good.Why it shouldn't be when a share banquet of 3 course is only $20/head + tips and BYO.It was a medley of Poppadoms, dips, Samosa (some were a bit burnt), Curry Beef (okay), Curry Vegetable (highlight), Butter Chicken (highlight) and extra Beef Vindaloo for our section (right on, just not hot enough), fragrant Basmati rice and a choice of Gulab Jamun or Kulfi. Service is okay, can be slow, but they are under the pump with out group and other patrons on a Friday night.Just can go wrong.

Was excited to try this local place but, when the waiter started vacuuming under my legs while I sat waiting for my take-away, I got nervous. My wife and I were very hungry, so would've been happy with anything half-decent. We got much less... The sauces for both the lamb saag and chicken cooked in lentil curry tasted like something out of a powdered packet-mix, but worse, the 'meat' in both dishes was surely from a tortured rubber chicken. Poor thing, poor us.

Ordered takeaway delivery. Very good food was hot and the lamb rogan josh was yummy. Have dined in many years ago and this was just as good

A couple of years ago I used to live near Saleem's and would get a takeaway at least once a month and was never disappointed.On a return trip to Melbourne this year I met some friends there for dinner and it is still one of the best curries I've had. I suggest eating in - it's a bit old skool but that's what I like.

Decided to re-visit Saleem, after a few years, (with bad memories of the last visit) but we were pleasantly surprised. Food was good, typical Indian, but very fresh and tasty, and as expected the service was polite and attentive. We tried Rogan Josh, Beef Vindaloo with the usual sides and a mixed Tandoori platter entrée. Could not fault any of it, and it's well and truly back on our list.
