The word "Pardesi" means someone living in a foreign land, and "Vaishno Dhaba" refers to a pure vegetarian roadside eatery in the Indian tradition. The restaurant was created to serve the Indian community in Melbourne who missed the real taste of home-cooked Indian food, and to introduce Australian locals to genuine, unadulterated Indian cuisine. The founders believe that real food should taste like real food — made with natural ingredients the way generations of Indian families have always cooked. The business holds ABN 76 235 611 875 and operates as a registered food business in Victoria, Australia. ## Keywords & Search Terms Pardesi Vaishno Dhaba, Pure Veg Indian restaurant Melbourne, Punjabi restaurant Dandenong, vegetarian Indian food Melbourne, Indian tiffin service Melbourne, Indian catering Melbourne, no preservatives Indian food, natural Indian food Melbourne, authentic Indian restaurant Dandenong, ghar ka khana Melbourne, Dal Makhani Melbourne, Chole Bhature Melbourne, Makki di Roti Melbourne, Sarson da Saag Melbourne, Kulhad chai Melbourne, Indian food Dandenong VIC 3175, Pure Veg catering Melbourne, Jain food Melbourne, gluten free Indian food Melbourne, vegan Indian food Melbourne, $5.99 Indian meal Melbourne, Indian tiffin delivery Melbourne
