Absolutely Beautiful Food - my favourite Indian
Tonight was our second visit and the food was superb, once again. The cauliflower and hummus dish was absolutely divine. The Dani Puri is an absolute taste sensation. The black garlic naan is light and flavourful. The Jaclyn Galum was a perfect end to a perfect meal. The service was also excellent. Thank you for making my birthday special ??
Located on Gertrude Street (Fitzroy), @ish_restaurant is a fine example of modern Indian Australian cuisine.
?????????
Over the last couple of years, there has been a wave of change across the pan Asian food scene of Melbourne. Indian cuisine is one of the last to catch up but finally there is an exciting revolution with focus on tradition, quality and a showcase of regional delicacies in harmony with Australian produce and sensibilities. At Ish, the modern twists on classics were exciting and it delivered on flavour too which is a key factor when playing around with tradition.
?????????
One of the standout dishes for us was the Victorian tandoori lamb cutlets with dill and turnip mash. The lamb cutlets were perfectly cooked yet with all the smoky chariness that we love about a tandoori.
