Saina Indian Preston - Melbourne

Typical Indian fare. Maybe I expected a bit much. Food was bland. Service was good though. The salty lassi, which is an off menu item was just some watered down raita. Probably a bad idea to order that one. I’m not an Indian food expert, but I’ve eaten quite a lot of it over the year. This one was nothing special. I don’t think I’ll be coming back here.

I have very little knowledge about their cuisine. Just ordered food randomly as I didn't know what would be good. Turned out they were all delicious. I know what I would order next time now.

Hidden gem. Lovely waiter with friendly service. The food was delicious. What you get for the price is awesome. Definitely worth your time. Didn't take any photos because I couldn't wait to eat.

Tried the dosa here. It was crispy and fresh, but it was abit lacking in the fermented rice flavour. Three accompanying sides provided. It would have been good for one of the to be refreshing, to cleanse the pallet, but they were all savoury. The white, coconut based one, tasted like it had a lot of peanuts in it and was savoury and heaty. (Edit. Took away their bryani on another day. Although the rice was tasty, there was not much ingredients besides the rice and chicken. Can this really be called bryani?

Food is good chilled relaxed environment excellent and polite but check your total bill once before paying. Very affordable in Melbourne standards. But the food spice levels are very high be prepared for that especially if your Eastern Indian it will be far highly spicy for you . Ask them to make think as mildest as possible .
