Restaurant in Springvale, Melbourne

Lovers of Indian food are particularly well served by Melbourne's Springvale restaurants. There's no lack of first-class curry houses like Panj Tara Dhaba on Princess Highway, where you can feast on lamb rogan josh and creamy tandoor butter chicken. Places like Indian City on Queens Avenue have a good line in vegetarian dishes (try the heart-warming mushroom saag) and indulgent kulfi (Indian ice cream) for rounding out the evening. Or, for a change from all that cumin and coriander, First Taste on Windsor Avenue is one of several Chinese eateries serving spring rolls, rice dishes and hotpots.
