I’ve eaten a lot of #indianfood over the years and it’s one of my favourite cuisines.
However, the dishes here in Australia are very different to what I’d tried in India in 1986. It’s much like how we cook Chinese food is so different to what I tried in 1985 and 1989 in Beijing / Guangzhou / Hong Kong.
However, that’s not a downside at all. I enjoy the interpretations by local chefs on how to prepare say - a #roganjoshcurry and how they differ from restaurant to restaurant - state to state.
#cafespice in #greensborough was recommended by my daughter. It delivered on not just great food but also a warm welcome.
Sanjeev’ Cafe Spice is simple on decor but big on service and hospitality.
From the time we were seated to food on the table was 15 minutes - pretty good for a busy Saturday night.
I know each of the serves look similar in the photos but the taste of each were definitely different.

Portion sizes were perfect and sharing three main course dishes between five of us ended up being plenty.
$83.00 for 5 people was also value for money, especially as eating out has become considerably more expensive.
Notes: good parking at the rear of the restaurant, caters for dietaries, wheelchair accessible and kid friendly. Dietaries, speak to staff directly.
We will return.

Every single time I have to order the delicious Lamb Biryani as the fixed item in my order. Quality, quantity and the flavor of the dishes are always balanced to perfection. I have tried so many Indian restaurants in Melbourne and without a doubt, Cafe Spice is the best of them.

First time here since they moved the location a dozen or so shops up the hill. Fairly basic layout but looked good - was very clean. Five of us and on a Wednesday evening and there were very few other patrons at the time. The waitress was very efficient but also had enough warmth to ensure we were comfortable. We shared all our selections and they were all delicious. The flatbread, however, was superb and we tried several different varieties. All fairly inexpensive too. Loved it.

Our family of 4 with 2 toddlers visited this restaurant this week . The staff did not show any patience when we tried to check in using QR code and targeted us like we are intruders .I noticed the staff is not even keen on checking some other people who came int he same time to ensure whether they have checked in or not.I presume rules should be for everyone. We requested for a child seat , but not keen on offering one to us as if she doesn't care .
once we sat on the table , she decided to reposition the table and asked my kids to get off .My kids were telling that they are scared off her ,when she left to get menu.
before even , we started ordering with a prejudice mentality , she warned we cannot order just one meal and share as that what some customers do it seems.How can she guess that we are such customers before we take an order .Again i do not hear she warning other customers next to us which i find a bit insulting.
we decided to order 4 items , including their chef entree Tandoor Murgh as a full instead of half . But the the lady insisted we must order more items . You cannot force anyone to decide how many dishes they should order .Moreover the lady insist that i order a drink.
Please make a note on menu next item in regards to these unique condition .I am glad that she didn't decide our menu items.

Picked up for a dinner with friends at home. My son and husband were warmly greeted when they picked up and everything was well packaged for the trip home. We had 1,2,3,8,12,16,35,50&51 from the menu. We were all impressed with the quality of the flavours and would certainly eat there again. Everything was tasty, with plenty of meat and fresh rich spices balanced with some gently chilli warmth.

Just passing through and fancied a curry. Fortunately we chose Cafe Spice. Very friendly service and enjoyed every dish. Lamb was tender and full of flavour. Mushrooms Dhani was excellent. Roti and rice top quality.

The first thing that captivates you is the delicious, aromatic smells that fill the air. We recieved a warm welcome by the friendly proprietor who was happy to suggest dishes that would compliment one another. Fast service, delicious, mouth watering food, very reasonably priced. What more could one ask for?

I have eaten in Indian restaurants all over Australia and different parts of the world. Cafe Spice is one of the best. The food is sensational and very reasonably priced. Great service and very friendly staff. If you are looking for 5 star decor this place is not for you. But if you are after great food then this is definitely the place to go.

We love eating in, or takeaway from Cafe spice. Sanjeev's food is so delicious, he is a wonderful host! We always roll out of this joint as we can never narrow down our food choices. So many great items on the menu, and reasonably priced. A real gem.

Much better than average , non greasy Indian, the owner has been doing this for decades and takes great pride in the food, which shows through small interesting touches. Fair prices too.
Service became a little haphazard when busy, and a additional dressing missing from a dish that had elivated it on a quieter night.
