Update 31/12/2014: Guru Da Dhaba has been unopen for ages, in addition to the venue has housed but about other Indian eatery or ii earlier existence taken over yesteryear the highly rated De Orchid equally nosotros were, pregnant that the hollo for for outstanding local Indian continues. The smells wafting from the corner of Johnston in addition to Gore streets conduct keep tempted me every fourth dimension I've walked past, but we'd somehow avoided making the trip until subsequently we'd sampled almost every other Indian restaurant in the neighbourhood.
The carte du jour is inspired yesteryear the dhaba street eateries of Bharat - vegos are good catered for amongst xvi curries to select from (aside: I've developed the theory - next our trip to Red Pepper - that Indian restaurants amongst beef-free menus are probable to survive higher quality. For the record: there's no beef at Guru da Dhaba). Cindy, typically, went for the malai kofta ($9.90). She was a footling disappointed amongst the kofta - it was a footling floury in addition to lacking texture. The sauce also was adequate without existence specially memorable. I went for a baingan bhartha - a roast eggplant curry that nosotros actually need to discovery a practiced recipe for. It was much to a greater extent than impressive than Cindy's kofta - richly spiced in addition to silky, perfect to mush onto the well-cooked garlic naan that accompanied it.
Mike has decided that the existent examination of an Indian eatery is its palak paneer in addition to declared Guru da Dhaba's the best he'd bought inward Melbourne. So it was a mixed performance: ordinary kofta, first-class eggplant in addition to phenomenal paneer. We powerfulness need a minute take in to come upwards up amongst a definitive opinion.
