Lovely food. The jeera aloo (triple cooked potatoes in a delicious mystery sauce) were sensational. Gluten free & vegan. The staff are great. Friendly and funny. The music was 80s sing along bangers, but played quietly so we could have an easy conversation. Perfect.

Jemma Cookson

Genuinely the most amazing experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Yummy good, good service and they put on a birthday song for my partner too. It was such a good vibes and I couldn’t recommend it more. 10/10, will be coming back again. They also had gluten free options for my celiac friend!!!! - the naan bread was GF!! SO COOL!!!

Antony Kellerman

Great Experience first time at an Indian Restaurant. Greeted by the owner who was welcoming and went through recommendations on what was best suited. Being Gluten Free really felt like they cared. Great Service and fantastic food 👌. Will be back very soon.

Benn Warren

I’ve never actually dined here but I have ordered from uber eats a lot and it’s always exceptional. Gluten free options are abundant and the taste really is the best Indian food I’ve eaten. I absolutely love it every time. I’ve had all of the lamb dishes and it’s always hard to decide which one to get because they are all very good but the Saag lamb is the most unique and delicious one. It’s the favourite. Thanks for so many lovely meals when I’m too busy too cook.

Madison Robertson

This is one of the best restaurants in the city. Everything is fresh, flavourful. The service is fantastic and they've been really accommodating catering for dietary requirements, such as gluten free, pregnancy. It's definitely a wonderful place for a romantic evening out or even a nice night to celebrate with friends.

Elle bell

Been meaning to try for a long time as it is local. We will definitely be back. Yummy food! Clean, good service with a funky vibe. Also lots of Coeliac options. Highly recommend.

My partner and I visited a couple of weeks ago for dinner, and we were thoroughly impressed! We started with the Dahi Bhalla, and for mains, we ordered the coconut prawn curry (for me), chicken tikka masala, plain rice, and naan. The food was sensational—each dish was incredibly fresh, with the prawns being especially large and the meat of top quality. It’s clear they don’t scrimp on quality; the dishes were not greasy and felt thoughtfully prepared. As someone with multiple food intolerances (mainly to dairy and gluten), I often find dining out challenging. However, the staff here were exceptionally accommodating. The person who took our order was very knowledgeable about dietary needs and recommended dishes accordingly. My only suggestion would be to make the menu descriptions a bit more detailed. For example, the coconut prawn curry included veggies like peas, corn, and broccoli, which I’m intolerant to. When I provided this feedback, the lady at the counter was wonderfully understanding and even offered to take the item off our bill—a gesture that made us feel valued and appreciated. Highly recommend this restaurant for both the quality of food and the attentive, customer-focused service. We'll definitely be back!

Simon Johnson

The best Indian food I’ve ever had. It could be the best restaurant in the country. Big statements I know, but I’ve been coming here for 20 years and the service and food is flawless. I highly suggest dining in. There is great food for everyone, including vegetarian and gluten free options. Staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Couldn’t ask for a better night out.

Caitlin Meagher

Lovely restaurant, food is delicious and great for catering for vegan and gluten free! Staff are friendly and make sure you have everything you may need! Beautiful Indian restaurant with really authentic feel! Would highly recommend!

Sami Jane Smith

Amazing Indian food, lots of gluten free options and everything can be made vegan. Great service too!

MANJEET RANA

Cozy environment , delicious food and they do have so many options for gluten free and lactose free food. Definitely worth every single penny.

Dale Wilson

One of my fav places to eat, especially with so many coeliac friendly options. Great place, great food, amazing service, I love this place. From the home cooking vibes, the exceptional flavour, and the incredible value, this is my favourite and go to for Indian in Geelong.

Dao Nguyen

We booked the private Board Room space to host a surprise 30th birthday party. The night was a huge success and everything ran as planned, many thanks to the efforts of both the Gingerboy front-of-house team and the team of chefs behind the scenes! The set banquet menu was exquisite, exceeded all expectations and was highly praised by everyone who attended with the kingfish and duck dishes being the crowd's favourites. The team had no issues catering to all our dietary requirements, including gluten-free, vegan, and pregnant women! The venue was perfect, with access to our own amenities, Bluetooth speakers and a wall-mounted TV to make a video call to our overseas friends. Thank you again to the team at Gingerboy! Will definitely book again for future events and recommend the Board Room space upstairs to anyone looking for a place to host a special event.

Taj Swoffer

Been here multiple times now. Always consistently delicious and flavoursome food! Highly recommend! Gluten Free Available

Emma M

Wonderful staff, very helpful with food intolerances. Gluten and dairy free options available and staff were so happy to help me with this. The lamb rogan josh is amazing. Definitely will be back, amazing service.

Jo Senftleben

We had a beautiful shared meal at Dhaba on Good Friday. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere with attentive staff. There were plenty of gluten free options and everything tasted amazing.

Brian Purnell

The food looked and tasted amazing. Staff were super friendly, highly reccommended. Will come back for sure. Lots of options for gluten free diets.

Rehmat Sidhu

Delightful experience.. Food is extremely good….. I will say Indian western fusion.. you will definitely enjoy food and vibes.. Very friendly staff and service when we visited this restaurant. Well done guys. I am very pleased with your hospitality. Naan breads are so soft and so many vegan and gluten free options.

Clair Henneberry

We dined late on a Saturday night (9PM), so the restaurant was quiet and intimate. I'm not well-versed in Indian cuisine so I appreciated the educational element of having a map on the menu to correspond to foods from different regions. The food was incredible because the chefs focus on delicate, natural flavours like smoked yogurt. Other highlights: many gluten-free options (including corn bread off the menu), sensory-friendly lighting, and traditional chai tea. The only thing that was confusing was the "$50 minimum spend per person" printed at the bottom of every menu.

Michael Dwyer

There is no better Indian cuisine in Geelong than Eastern Spice!! The flavours are incredible, the service is excellent and it's just an awesome experience all-round. Highly recommend the butter chicken (obviously), tikka masala and coconut scallop curry. Lots of gluten free options too!

Buse O

By far the best Indian food I’ve had in Melbourne. Sometimes I feel heavy after eating Indian food, not sure why but I never feel heavy after eating here. I’m assuming the quality and ingredients are just really good. I’m also celiac, so I appreciate that they are always careful with that - they even called me a few times to make sure that I knew some of the food contained gluten. Would recommend most of the dishes on the menu, but the punjabi style butter chicken and goat korma are out of this world. Prices are very fair and portions are generous.

Elephant Corridor has to be an incredible Sri Lankan Restaurant. Being a food enthusiast, I really do not mind travelling a distance for good food. This restaurant was first recommended to me by my family 3 months ago but I live in Brisbane. I finally managed to get a break to be in Melbourne and I definitely had to try this place out, and I am glad that we did! Despite the 1 hr 40 minutes drive from Melton, we reserved a table and made our way toElephant Corridor. Reservation was very easy and the staff were very helpful (even over the phone!). At the restaurant, the staff were very polite and extremely professional (kudos to the staff training-excellent customer service!). Food order was quick (via QR scan) and I must say the menu items was a great deal to choose from. The food preparation was very quick and efficient and the wait time was less than 10 minutes. The food: We are Fijians of Indian decent and we love our spice! The food was very generous with it's spices and we enjoyed everything (PS: If you do not like too much spice/heat there are mild and medium options but we specifically chose 'hot' as an option for almost all our selected items off the menu). The food was very authentic, aromatic and had a lot of taste! The items are also considerate about Gluten Free options, this also was a contributing factor to choose this restaurant as my mom has celiac and can not take food with gluten. Personal recommendations (best for this Melbourne winter): 1. Lamb Vindaloo 2. Sri Lankan Devilled Chicken 3. Green Jack Fruit Curry (vegetarian) 5/5 to everything that we ordered but these three dishes were the best! The overall ambience of the restaurant is incredible too and the friendly staff make things even better. It has a great vibe and it feels great to sit and enjoy good food with your loved ones. Having travelled more than 18 countries, Elephant Corridor is definitely one of my favourites now. I would absolutely recommend this place!

Chris Brydon

Very good Indian food. One of the better restaurant options on Burgundy Street. Needed to know gluten free options and staff were very helpful & knowledgable with this.

Harsh Priya

Looking at the great reviews, I expected a good experience as well. But, unfortunately, the food was very disappointing and not worth the bill at the end. Chicken tikka (appetisers) and garlic naan were the only dishes we liked. The others below were terrible and we felt more let down when we received the bill after the food . 1. Missi roti - One person in our circle is gluten intolerant. The waiter mentioned that missi roti is not purely gluten free as it is rolled out using gluten flour. Please remove the term ''gluten free" for this menu item as it is not true. 2. Butter chicken - After multiple good reviews and the waiter supporting that view, we tried the butter chicken. It had no butter, the gravy has no spices and its definitely not worth receiving 3 small pieces of chicken for $25. 3. Cauliflower manchurian - Bland and watery. Big chunky pieces of cauliflower which was white inside, and tasted like salt and cauliflower. 4. Kadhi pakora - Felt like more then necessary curd was used as it was sour in taste. We came in on 6 Apr, Saturday for dinner. Using words like "harmony" and "perfect blend" does not make the food taste better.

Justine Marr

Everyone enjoyed their selection. From spicy vegan to extra mild gluten free, everyone loved the flavours!

Lauren Arthur

Amazing food!! Indians Again serves the best Indian food I’ve had in a long time! We ordered a handful of curries and dosa. It was all delicious. Every curry was really flavourful, the meat cooked to perfection and they all tasted different. The dosa were great too. Only negative was food took 40mins to get ready which is a while to wait in the car. But worth the wait!! Being coeliac gluten free, I chatted with the staff prior to ordering. Although the majority of the menu advertises gluten free, he could only guarantee that the curries were coeliac friendly. All other menu items are low gluten/no added gluten (risk of wheat contamination in cooking). I was happy with his understanding of coeliac and gluten contamination and would confidently eat the curries again!

Theresa Forbes

Fantastic cuisine! Came here for my husbands birthday and they made it very special. Definitely recommend even for fellow coeliacs. The gluten free options were top notch.

M Fuzzer

Great service and delicious food. Portion size is adequate. Gluten-free options are available. One of the best restaurants on High Street.

Olivia Charalambous

Gluten free options, veg options, great prices and everyone is always super accomodating. Love the food - tastes amazing!

Claire Habel

Fantastic restaurant- the service is great and the food is delicious. Also great if you’re gluten free, heaps of options and very clear marking on the menu.

Donelle Crocker

I love this place. Im vegan and gluten free and the staff are always so helpful with this, even have a whole seperate menu for vegans with lots of yummy options. The owner takes good care of you. The food is delicious and great portion sizes too. I recommend for both dining in and take aways.

Sam Netterfield

Love every visit to Punjabi curry cafe. Such lovely service and awesome vegan/gluten free options. Tadka daal 10/10

Fred Quezada

Chris Coombs

Amazing food, even better service! The dishes are excellent (our kids love the butter chicken) and the friendly service is always top notch. We recently visited for our daughter’s birthday and the robot waiter played a happy birthday tune which we all enjoyed and was a lovely touch. There are plenty of gluten free options which is great for families with coeliacs like ours, and they’re all delicious.

Disclaimer: it's a long review from a very happy mum of a 7 year old coeliac! We planned our first trip to Melbourne with our 7year old coeliac after his diagnosis last year. We are vegetarians and were looking for a coeliac safe Indian restaurant. We contacted Gaylord and were told that the kitchen can accommodate coeliacs. Not only did they have gf bread option - which they make separately on a dedicated pan(instead of the tandoor) but they also have Currys which are Gf. They are very well aware of cross contamination What I was extremely impressed with however, was how the team at Gaylord handled our request. The chef Himanshu came out to check with us and prepared some sides for my son, fresh from scratch. A special shout out to Yamin Sheikh, who was extremely patient over the call and took note of all our requests and requirements. He double checked with Chef and called us back reassuring us about cross contamination.Indian tempering might contain asafoetida (which is a hidden source of gluten in Indian food) Yamin advised us on the safe options that did not contain asafoetida. On our arrival at the restaurant he ensured everything was in order. Yamin’s knowledge, preparedness and passion to make it safe for my son reflected in his efforts and we ended up visiting the restaurant 4 times during our stay. I highly recommend Gaylord to coeliacs who are looking to eat Indian food. The food is delicious the staff is patient and reliable and the experience and satisfaction level is outstanding. Big thank you to Mr. Yamin Sheikh one more time for his dedication and patient ear.

Soft lighting, relaxing, soft Indian music. Elegant table settings. Comfortable. Licensed for alcohol BYO (wine only). Order on line, gluten free, free courtyard function room, catering.

Siobhan Blake

Excellent food and good service. I asked for Coeliac safe (gluten free), vegetarian, not oily or too spicy, and it's exactly what I received. Totally recommend. I will be back.

Keith Stucki

We enjoyed all of our dishes, not too sweet like some Indian restaurants can be. The gluten free roti was the best we have tasted. Thank you Chef Richa for a wonderful meal.

As a visitor to Halls Gap, I wasn’t expecting to find such an authentic and flavorful Indian dining experience, but Spirit of Punjab absolutely delivered! The food was fresh, beautifully spiced, and full of rich flavor — the butter chicken and garlic naan were especially standout dishes. I also appreciated the great selection of vegetarian and gluten-free options. One of the most unexpected (and fun!) parts of the evening was the robot waiter — a quirky and entertaining touch that made the experience even more memorable. The staff were warm and attentive, and the views from the outdoor seating area were just stunning. It’s a popular spot, so I’d recommend booking ahead, especially on weekends. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Grampians and looking for a satisfying, hearty meal after a day of exploring.

Katie Exton

they have heaps of gluten free options on their menu. Staff are confident in catering for coeliac disease 🥰

Robert Williams-Pate

Very nice quite atmosphere, friendly staff and very willing to accommodate a family members gluten allergy.

Nina Kojovic

Delicious Nepalese food! Great spot for gluten free curry and desserts. We had the Sherpa Chicken (came highly recommended) and Goat and Potato curry with saffron rice. They came out quickly and were delicious. We had two Kulfi for dessert which was a nice change from conventional icecream too. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the food was very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.

S Kin

Highly recommended. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. We shared the Tandoori tasting plate and the flavors were spectacular. The atmosphere was lovely. The staff were friendly. The prices were reasonable. I have to eat gluten and dairy free and they accommodated without any fuss.

lisa syme

Incredible food, staff are always lovely and service is great. Plenty of gluten free options too! Definitely worth a drive to grab a feed.

Kevin Jones

Food tasted fine, however your gluten free option eggs benedict that we asked twice to confirm was gluten free made me incredibly ill and was glutinous, i was unable to drive to melbourne and missed my connecting flight to queensland. Please take food allergies more seriously
