I found this place from google maps, thought I should give it a try. It was the first restaurant I visited in my trip to Melbourne. I must say I had difficulties finding this place. The address said 343 Little Collins St, but in fact the restaurant was on this lane called Equitable Place. It was quite secluded and if I wasn't looking for it, I would have completely missed it.
The restaurant was typical of dining hall type restaurant. On its website, it purported to be serving Indian / Malaysian / Tandoori / Srilankan / Singaporean / Vegetarian dishes. But as far as I could tell, the dishes were 90% Indian, and only 10% the rest. This restaurant was obviously geared towards the cheap and fast-food end of the market. But I think, the food was quite authentic. I judged the authenticity of a restaurant by its patrons, and when I was there, the diners were all Indians (excluding me).

I had the dinner special 2, which was a combination of briyani rice, two meats and one veg. I chose the beef rendang, chicken curry and vegetable curry. I don't doubt the portion of this dish was huge, but in terms of taste, it really wasn't mine. But, I do like the fact that when I asked the cashier if I could have a plastic container to take away the meal that I couldn't finish, he was very courteous and gave me the container without fuss.
