Mietta's Review
Tucked away behind a shopping centre in Templestowe Bhoj has held the reputation for being one of Melbourne's great Indian restaurants for many years. The room is unremarkable, but the food keeps them coming back for more. The menu offers a diverse range of dishes and includes traditional Indian dishes but also moves beyond well prepared but familiar curries and tandoor to include interesting authentic dishes not offered at other like restaurants. In the early days Bhoj was packed with locals, now locals find it hard to get a table, because the word is out. To spread the love around, a second restaurant has been opened at 54 New Quay Promenade at Docklands (03 9600 0884).
