Shiraaz By Rajputana - West Melbourne

A beautiful dining experience punctuated by all the majesty of Indian cuisine, Shiraz is one of those exceedingly special destinations that never does things by half measure.

Welcome one and all into one of the bubbliest, chatty dining halls in the whole of West Melbourne. It's large, open plan and is always bustling with merrymakers every day of the week. Get your gang in here and you might not leave for a good few hours!

You will need a good 15 or 20 minutes to fully peruse the menu. Absolutely jam-packed with authentic Indian flavours that leaves no one behind, everything your heart desires is on that menu card. The meat and seafood curries are giving the likes of chicken labbabdar, Rajaji's goat curry, kadai prawn, lamb rogan josh and a range of kormas, palaks and vindaloos that can be enjoyed with lamb, chicken or halal beef.

At the same time, the Indian cuisine has made its name for the variety of vegetarian options it has to offer. All the same bold flavours surface with squidgy paneer being submerged in masala, butter masala and kadai gravies. And whilst those bubbles away to really intensify the spices, the tandoor is busy with some cheese, keema and garlic naans. Like we said, Shiraaz is leaving no one behind.
