Desi Dhaba Craigieburn

Best Known For

Rajasthani Bhuna Goat: juicy pieces of goat meat, pot roasted with strips and capsicum and onions, with a spicy mince and brown gravy sauce.

Home is where the Indian heart is at Desi Dhaba on Craigieburn Road in Craigieburn. Born from a desire to recreate the dhabas of the homeland, dine indoors among recycled timber and neon signage to watch the cricket and Bollywood movies on a big screen, among memorabilia and an eclectic mix of wall posters. Think authentic, tasty food from the street eateries of Indian highways as seen in starters like Amritsari marinated fish, fried in spiced chickpea batter and served with special chutney. For the main, delve into true New Delhi-style butter chicken, cooked on the bone, with sides of steamed basmati rice, garlic naan and papadums; or hot and tangy goat vindaloo, before cooling things down with a dessert of mango kulfi and gulab jamun.
