Tasty food but very slow service - Edit
Shared a portion of the broccoli wings and chai. Food was really good and venue was cute but food took ages considering there weren’t many tables in!

Over hyped - Edit
Lovely fit out and great people watching in the front window. The vegan tax on a menu that was previously vegan is really disappointing. $1.90 for vegan yoghurt instead of dairy 🤯 $22 for a toastie that is pretty much just potato is wild. Will go to Green Mushroom next time we are feeling Indian.

Super tasty and friendly! - Edit
Really nice Indian spot with sit down tables upstairs. Food and service were great. Had given them 4 stars since initially I thought portions were on the small side for the price, but after coming back a second time I’m pleasantly surprised by the affordability!

Great hidden gem 💎 - Edit
Really cool hidden location down a little laneway in the middle of the city - melbourne vibes for sure. The staff were super friendly, food options were limited but they did them well. The sandwich I ordered was a little on the spicier side, also couldn’t appreciate it fully because I was very hungover that day 😅 but overall a great experience and decent prices!

Great place for a snack - Edit
We popped over for a snack the other day and the fritters do not disappoint! They were tasty to boot and generous in the serving. Personally the chai wasn’t my cup of tea but that’s neither here nor there. Fun lame way location makes me think of Melbourne, but might be a little tricky to find for some. Will happily go back.

Tasty and wholesome - Edit
They take their food very seriously and do an amazing job. Highly recommend the Quinoa Kichihdi. It is flavourful, delicious, and similar to an Indian spiced risotto, but soupier. Their pakora fritters are what they are known for, and are delicious as well.
Read moreA no frills all vegan spot, which is designed to replicate a roadside food stall in Mumbai (hence the tucked away location). Friendly staff and a great vibe.
Only con is the fritters take a while when its busy as they are made fresh, so try an avoid peak lunch time or order ahead if you are short on time.

Delicious fritters! - Edit
We came here during our stay in Sydney and were very impressed with how tasty the fritters are - we shared a large one between us and really enjoyed them, plus everything is vegan! The only downside is that the tucked away alleyway location means that you have to walk past and then eat near people who are choosing to smoke in the alley.

Wonderful, tasty and wholesome - Edit
Loved the quinoa khichri, very wholesome. Pakora fritters were nice and crunchy and fresh. Service was friendly. I also had a iced chai which was ok, but needed a bit more spice, tasted a bit weak.

Awesome delicious fritters and chai - Edit
Ok so I walked up to this hidden gem. I wasn't keen on eating fritters but once I had them , couldn't believe how yummy they were. The chai, I had this masala chai after years. It was so good. Everything on the menu is definitely worth a try.

Very tasty - Edit
I had a tasty and filling Quinoa Khichri. The place is deservedly becoming popular, there were plenty of people ordering around lunch time. Food is served in a handy way, though unfortunately not very environmentally friendly - but that's what a take away must do.
Read morePros: Very tasty, Fast service, unless you're stuck behind a group.
Cons: Smokers on the way, par for most of the CBD.

Very good fritters

Burger was good too
Little spicy the sauces so make sure you ask to have them on the side if you want your fritters plain. Will come back 🙌

Hidden gem is right! - Edit
Tiny place, limited offerings, but so delicious and charming. My non-vegan/vegetarian husband, always suspicious of my choices, wanted to know what took us so long to find this place, so that tells you something about how good it was. Alley wasn't even smoky when we were there at lunchtime.

Cons: limited seating, in an alley - but hey, that's part of the fun

This place is tucked back in an alley, but don’t stop looking until you find it. They have a fritter special every day as well as chai. The fritter was such a culinary treat and made for the perfect quick lunch.
