Spice Av - Melbourne

Really good and authentic Malaysian style south India banana leaf curry rice. They provide a few rounds of refill on rice and the vege. Staffs are friendly attentive and great hospitality. Go along with a few delicious side dishes and make a heavenly meal. I drove the way from the east side of town and the trip is well worth it. Highly recommended.

Great staff. All you can eat banana leaf is a must try

Food is always very tasty and not spicy at all [i don 't like spicy food], customer service is great, very kind and caring people tho, restaurant is clean, buffet is always hot and ready to eat, and mainly its fells like 'home made ' foodfood is always very tasty and customer service is great, very kind and caring people too, restaurant is clean, food is always hot and ready to eat, and mainly its fells like 'home made ' food.

I had banana leaf rice, which was tasty overall. However, some of the okra in the vegetable curry was very undercooked and it was very hard to chew.The Chicken 65 was also somewhat tasty, although it could have been spicier. The bamboo egg biryani and squid sambal were both the highlights for me, as the biryani was nicely spiced/seasoned and the squid sambal was quite spicy and well cooked.Unfortunately, the service was really bad, especially as it was getting busy, resulting in us not being able to order dessert. This probably happened because of understaffing, I saw only 3 restaurant people coming into the restaurant, so it makes sense that they would not be able to provide good service.

I loved their Ilai saapadu and bamboo veg biriyani we ordered last afternoon. It was nothing short of deliciousness with a homely touch. Bitter gourd, Brinjal and cabbage vegetables were absolutely tasty and hence, it is a must try on the ilai saapadu whenever you visit this restaurant. Thank you Shiv Prashad for taking us to this hidden gem in the city!
