#1 Desi Dhaba Tarneit — 540 Derrimut Road, Tarneit
Rating: 4.1/5 (2,605 reviews) | Price: $15-30 a head
A 4.1-star average across 2605 reviews. Polarising, but worth trying. This is the kind of Indian restaurant that locals quietly keep to themselves. Expect to pay $15-30 a head.
#2 Indian tiffin delight — Tarneit Road, Tarneit
Rating: New/unrated | Price: Not listed
Too new for a meaningful rating, but early signs are promising. A kitchen that respects the fundamentals — fresh spice mixes, proper tempering, and rice that is actually good.
#3 Desi Tandoor Indian Restaurant — 540 Derrimut Road, Tarneit
Rating: New/unrated | Price: Not listed
Still building its review base — one for the adventurous. The tandoor does the heavy lifting — expect charred edges and smoky depth on everything.
#4 Ice and Spice Kitchen Tarneit — shop 1/410 Derrimut Road, Tarneit
Rating: New/unrated | Price: Not listed
Not enough reviews yet to call it, but the menu looks right. Well-spiced rather than just hot — there is a difference, and this place knows it.

Vegetarian options: Every Indian restaurant listed here offers vegetarian mains. If you’re vegan, ask about ghee — most kitchens will substitute on request.
