A Love Letter to Kesari 🇮🇳 If joy had a flavour, I’m fairly certain it would be served hot, delicate and fragrant at Kesari, with Point Cook being just one of several much-loved locations. We started with a paper-thin dosa - golden, shatter-light, and folded just so. This Southern Indian classic arrived with a quartet of condiments: vibrant chutneys, deeply comforting sambar, and all the dipping potential your heart could ever desire. The kind of dish that makes you slow down, tear gently, and savour every bite. The table then filled (as it should) with favourites and standouts: • Chicken tikka entrée tender, smoky, gently spiced and utterly moreish • Aloo tikka chaat, crunchy, tangy, layered with flavour and that irresistible street-food energy • Lamb Kadai, rich, robust and deeply satisfying, cooked so beautifully it demanded silence for the first few bites • Butter roti, soft and indulgent, perfect for scooping up every last bit (and yes, we did). To drink? A strawberry daiquiri from the cocktail menu, bright, playful and dangerously easy to love. This followed by our now non-negotiable pairing for Indian food: a glass of @sistersrunwines Spicy food + Australian red = culinary harmony. Always. A huge thank you to Anureet, who was an absolute delight - warm, welcoming, intuitive, and the kind of hostess who makes you feel less like a customer and more like a guest at a very good dinner party. The decor deserves its own shout-out too: fun, funky, colourful, and full of personality. It sets the tone before the first dish even lands. Good to know: • ✔️ Kid-friendly • ✔️ Disability-friendly • ✔️ Dietaries thoughtfully catered for • ✔️ Easy, stress-free parking • ✔️ Takeaway / home delivery Kesari isn’t just a meal, it’s a celebration of flavour, generosity, and good hospitality. Come hungry. Leave happy. Plan your return visit before you’ve even paid the bill. #melbournefoodie #melbourneeats #melbournerestaurants #foodlover #melbournecafe #melbournecitylife #melbournefood #tripadvisor #tripadvisorreview #tripadvisorreviewer #googlelocalguide #googlelocalguides #letsguide #thewanderingreviewer @thewanderingreviewer #sistersrunshiraz #sistersrunwine
