Went to this restaurant based on Google reviews. The food that we ordered tasted delicious. The dhal tadka was perfect. The Mutton masala was soft and succulent. A good place for Indian dishes.

My husband and I stumbled across this delicious and authentic Indian restaurant Marinades. The moment we arrived, greeted by a lovely waitress who was welcoming, polite and knowledgeable. The food was exceptional, all the staff were so lovely, attentive, a beautiful family run business that I hope open one day in Melbourne!! A must try to those who love Indian as much as we do!!

McKensie made the most amazing frozen strawberry daiquiri, would highly recommend! She gave great customer service. The food was also amazing and the staff were super attentive!The butter chicken was especially amazing would highly recommend!

I just had the most tasty Chicken Saag here. The meat was tender and the spice was just right. The roti was light and complimented the meal well. Had to take my leftovers home. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere sitting outside. Thank you.

I’ve ordered from here twice now, and the food is so tasty! I love how they have a separate vegan menu and so many options! The owners are so friendly and I’ll definitely order from here again.
