Best Indian Restaurants in Waurn Ponds

If you’re after an authentic dining experience, look no further. We’ve been visiting Atta for over six years, and every experience has been exceptional. From the food to the waitstaff and hosts, everything has been nothing short of amazing. We’ve dined there as a family and also for many of our date nights. The consistency and well-crafted food are always on point—we often order from the Essentials menu, right through to desserts. Looking forward to our next dining experience!

Lentils is the best Indian food we’ve ever had (and we’ve had it a lot) We went for lunch one Sunday and were blown away so we went again for date night. It’s beautiful inside too and the service is amazing.

Honestly, the food here is worth travelling for, and I mean that. We are happy to make the 20 minute drive from a nearby coastal town to eat in or get takeaway the food is that good. A lot of thought has been gone into making and preparing each dish, which gives each one an individual character all of its own. The flavours are immersive and vibrant, with the perfect combination of spices to compliment the base component of each dish, be that meat, seafood or vegetable. The menu is accompanied by an interesting drinks list (which as the name suggests features whisky prominently) includes some interesting wine choices at reasonable prices. Combine all this with a venue accomodating several different spaces, and attentive and welcoming staff, and you have a restaurant with all the things to rival many of Melbourne's best credentialed Indian establishments. Believe me, this place is certainly worth the trip, if only it wasn’t just that bit closer.

The best restaurant to go in whole Torquay, the food was amazing especially the lamb cutlets. Would recommend everyone who’s visiting Torquay to must visit Malta Indian Restaurant.
