Desi Dhaba Tarneit

Best Known For

All-time favourite Punjabi butter chicken - mild, flavoursome, creamy and delicious.

Home is where the Indian heart is at Desi Dhaba Tarneit on Derrimut Road. Born from a desire to recreate the dhabas of the homeland and nestled in Tarneit Shopping Village, take a seat to dine among cartoon-style wall posters, a drum and bicycle hanging from the ceiling and softly glowing lantern-style pendents. Think authentic, tasty food from the street eateries of Indian highways as seen in starters like prawns fried in spiced chickpea batter, with special chutney; or succulent and juicy tandoori chicken, with tangy onion and lettuce salad. For the main, delve into hot and spicy goat vindaloo, basmati rice and garlic naan; or Kashmir’s popular fragrant lamb curry, infused with flavours of star anise and fennel. Cool things down with a dessert of mango kulfi and gulab jamun.
