Red Pepper Indian Restaurant

Took some time to get our food. The paneer butter masala was too sweet tasting. The lacha parntha was nice but a bit hard to eat as it was too crumbly. They also forgot to give us serving spoons so had to wait while the food got cold. Space is nice for small groups- 3-4 people. Too cramped for large groups. Didn't get free papadams 😕

I visited Red Pepper after a few years, and it's really gone downhill. The prices are very steep and in some cases make no sense at all (steamed rice is $4 a serve while cumin rice is $12?) Food took over 45 minutes to come, no acknowledgement from the staff. Even the cheapest Indian restaurants provide some pappadums to munch on while waiting, nothing here. When the food did come, the portion sizes were very small. We weren't full after it and ordered something else, which again took well over 30 minutes to come. Will not visit again.

Very nice restaurant, I was looking for a good quality Indian restaurant in Melbourne and this was highly recommended. The garlic naan was very soft and buttery, came quickly, and our other dishes soon followed thereafter. The fish curry was delicious, usually they’re a hit or miss but I will definitely be re-visiting Red Pepper to try the rest of the menu!

Best food ever. Friendly, humble and beautiful staff. We got an opportunity to have a great conversation with chef (beautiful women passionate to serve delicious food to there customers). Nothing is like canned food or pre-made,she made everything herself. If you are craving for authentic Indian food must visit.

Food was ok but it took 2 hours for it to arrive. It was busy so we were happy to be patient but we didn’t end up eating our mains until about 9pm. Service was very poor but in fairness it was clear they were trying their best. We were also served dishes with dairy in them despite letting them know we had allergies. Probably won’t be heading back here until management sorts things out.
