"Traditional tandoori cuisine is baked in a clay oven, and this is one of Victoria's best places to find the tasty dishes. In addition to tandoori chicken, lamb and seafood, you'll find plenty of vegetarian options and an extensive selection of masalas and vindaloos. Located near Fort Street, this is a great spot for dinner after a day of antiquing."
