Mietta's Review
Prakash Mairchand is an excellent host and very proud of his tandoori oven. Diners drive there from far away suburbs to eat in or to take away. The Den is also a favourite for wine clubs who want to bring bottles from their own cellars. Prakash will assist in arranging their service with appropriate dishes. The old and new clay ovens fire boneless beef, lamb and chicken to perfection while subtly spiced marinades lend potent flavours and gentle fragrances to a host of dishes.

Other published opinions

The Age Good Food Guide 2005 "AFTER 25 years, Tandoori Den has surely earnt the right to be called an Indian icon. The tandoor still works overtime, as does the chef, who wraps, skewers and embellishes all manner of meats, pastries and breads in readiness for the fiery furnace. Sure, the furniture is dated and the frilly drapes would look comfy at grandma's, but the gracious and attentive waiters take their lead from a kitchen intent on consistency and quality."

Heral Sun Bob Hart 12/2/05 "This is one of our earliest Indian eateries and remains one of our best, as a visit this week demonstrated."

AGFG 2004, score 14/20, wide selection of vegetarian dishes

The Age, Sunday Life, 23/11/03, John Lethlean,'One of those restaurants with rare longevity,Tandoori Den has been doing its thing forever.Its thing is a familar broad crosssection of Indian classics,with plenty of tandoor action.'
