Kitchen Samrat - Melbourne

I give this restaurant a score of 4.0 stars. I ordered takeaway from here on Friday, April 3rd. The service was decent, although the food did take some time to come out, it was worth the wait. We requested all dishes to be medium hot, but they ended up being quite spicy, which we enjoyed. This place definitely deserves a return visit! The eggplant masala ($15) had a yummy sauce and the eggplant maintained its shape with some nicely cooked potatoes, creating a nicely balanced dish. The shahi paneer ($15) had nice cheese, good flavors, and was creamy but spicy. The bhindi (okra) masala ($15) had soft okra in a tasty sauce. While my companion thought it had a bit too much fenugreek, I really liked it. We also ordered garlic naan ($2.50), and both were very garlicky and delicious, ranking among the best we've had in a while.

Attentions Vegans* this has place has a new and extensive vegan menu! Heaps of your regular curries with fake meat options, eg rogan josh and a creamy vegan butter chicken. The vegan rogan josh was probably my favourite. Definitely coming back here even though I don't live in the area! 10/10 recommend for vegans.

I am snobby punjabi food eater. Yesterday had Amritsari Naan with channey.. Guys I can bet my life on it. Such a wonderful yum Aloo naan I have never eater before. Make sure you eat when its hot and fresh.<br/ <br/ Cheers

This is a great option for home delivery. The Chicken Saag is a personal favorite. The rice is always fresh and the naan is of generous sizing. Prices are a little expensive and as a result, I don't order from here as often as I would like it is simply curry after all. <br/ <br/ But out of the other options in the area, this places holds the most flavour. Oh and lookout, even the medium spice request packs a punch!

Got home delivery from Kitchen Samrat fresh, tasty and didn't hold back on the spices! The naan and paneer tasted fresh, although the naan was somewhat soggy. The Punjabi Paneer's a winner, but the Karahi Paneer still had whole chunks of spices in it, and crunching on whole coriander seeds and chunks of ginger is never a nice feeling.The desserts (kulfi and rasmalai) were good quality for a place that doesn't specialise in sweets, but went a bit overboard with their richness and spices.Also, the delivery guy actually came 10 minutes early, which is always appreciated.Overall, a decently priced option for Indian if you're ever in the West!
