About Pardesi Vaishno Dhaba – An Authentic Indian Restaurant Melbourne Loves
Our Journey from Punjab to Melbourne
Twenty years ago, our founders—Chef Manpreet & her brother Harjit—left Amritsar with a suitcase of spices and a head full of recipes. They opened a tiny six-table eatery in Dandenong, determined to share honest Punjabi flavours with anyone who walked in. Today, Pardesi Vaishno Dhaba thrives in the heart of the CBD, yet the mission remains unchanged: serve home-style North Indian cuisine with uncompromising quality.
What “Vaishno Dhaba” Means
In Punjabi, Vaishno signals vegetarian devotion, while Dhaba evokes the roadside eateries that fuel India’s highways. We blend that rustic soul with Melbourne’s cosmopolitan energy, creating an Indian restaurant Dandenong commuters and city dwellers alike can rely on for comfort food.
Our Food Philosophy
- Farm-fresh ingredients: We partner with Victorian farmers for seasonal produce.
- Hand-ground spices: Garam masala is roasted and milled in-house every Monday morning—walk in and you’ll smell it.
- Inclusive dining: Every dish can be made vegan or gluten-free on request.
