Shavan's Indian - Kurunjang

A hidden gem. When you think of Indian food in a shopping strip environment, no doubt you probably think of cheap and nasty bain-maries filled with trays of congealed sauce and tiny bits of overcooked chicken. This is not that. At all. The food here is elegant and delicious, at more than reasonable prices for the quality, and the affable staff do an incredible job building ambience even when the restaurant is quiet. Will definitely return as often as possible when I'm in the area.

Today we had the ‘banquet’ for two. The customer service was excellent, our 5 year old really only eats the plain rice and they didn’t even query the fact we hadn’t ordered for her. It was quite unique to have the tandoori chicken and cutlets and samosas. The samosas were a fantastic portion and guessing they are made on site. The mains were the perfect quantity and offering more rice and naan was a lovely touch that will definitely bring us back. Having some traditional desserts and tea was a great way to finish the banquet and perhaps exposed us to dishes we may order next time that would not have thought to order.The ambience is great, loved the music but a bit cold. If you make sure you bring a jacket you will have a great meal. Definitely be back.

We had a very good and funny evening with friends there! The owner was very friendly and funny, which is great for the atmosphere as well the other staff is friendly and lovely. We had a great evening, and we will come definitely again.

In comparison to the one in Patterson Lakes, there are a few differences: decor Mount Waverley is more ornate but smaller, it's also more quiet (even for a Thursday night), and in terms of taste; it's enjoyable but Patterson Lakes is a bit more preferred.Lovely service and atmosphere has potential.

Words cannot describe how excellent this restaurant is. This is some of the best Sri Lankan/Indian food I have ever tasted. The variety is huge, food is fresh, portion sizes are big and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I had take away but I can't wait to go and eat in at the restaurant. I can't stress enough how nice and attractive the restaurant is. The manager and staff are so kind as well.
