Atta Restaurant

Atta is perfect for upscale Indian dining, offering a beautifully elevated take on classic flavours. We started with the dahi kebab, reshami, and the standout Sikandari Raan—each entrée was plated excellently, with every ingredient thoughtfully complementing the other. The server explained each dish in detail, which added to the experience. The Sikandari Raan, cooked for 16 hours, was truly the star of the evening—exceptionally tender with a deep, rich burst of flavour. For mains, we ordered butter chicken, prawn curry, murg biryani, and naan. Everything arrived fragrant and tasted just as good as it smelled—rich, well-balanced, and comforting without being heavy. Special mention to Roopali at Atta, who was incredibly humble and delivered outstanding guest service with warm, genuine interactions that made us feel truly welcomed. The only area for improvement would be the drinks, particularly the cocktails, which didn’t quite match the excellence of the food. Overall, a fantastic dining experience in Melbourne.

Atta Restaurant delivers an exceptional fine dining Indian experience. The service is attentive, refined, and genuinely thoughtful, making guests feel well cared for throughout the evening. The curries are exquisitely balanced, rich in flavour, and beautifully presented—each dish is memorable in its own right. Overall, it is an impressive and sophisticated interpretation of Indian cuisine. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone seeking an elevated dining experience.

We hired out the restaurant for my husband's 50th birthday recently. Roopali and her team were exceptional in helping us both in preparation for the evening, as well as throughout the night. The menu was outstanding--the golgappa canapes, the paneer and charcoal chicken entrees and the rasmalai dessert were standout dishes that many of our guests raved about. We have had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this restaurant, both for small private dinners and for larger functions.

There isn’t any wonder the chef has been given a hat. This is a fine dining that takes Modern Indian Cuisine to another level. Treated like royalty every time with immaculate presentation and sauces to die for a fine dining experience you cannot miss.

I want to make people aware that Atta Restaurant has a $95 per person requirement that isn’t communicated until the end of your meal. We had a reservation at 7:15 PM with my sister my sister visiting from Adelaide), my niece and myself. We ordered from the menu, thinking we weren’t doing the banquet, but partway through, the waitress informed us of the $95 per person policy. The curries are $45 per person, which is far too expensive for what you receive they are nothing special compared to an average curry. The food was just okay, the service confusing, the atmosphere very boring, and there’s also a 10% Saturday surcharge. Overall, we felt disappointed and embarrassed. The food was just okay, the service confusing, the atmosphere very boring, and the bowls were extremely hot so much so that it made me wonder if the curries were pre-cooked and microwaved. Would I recommend this restaurant? No. Be aware of the $95 per person charge before you sit down.

Recently dined at Atta Restaurant with my mum and dad, who were visiting from overseas, and it was such a memorable experience. The ambience was warm, elegant, and inviting, perfect for a relaxed family dinner. While all the food was beautifully presented, the garlic naan was the absolute star — honestly, the best I’ve ever had. Soft, fresh, and perfectly garlicky — truly unforgettable. Some dishes like the Channa Chur Garam and Dum Murgh Biryani didn’t quite meet our expectations, and the dessert was a bit too sweet for my taste — though presentation-wise, they all looked great. However, what truly stood out was getting the chance to chat with Harry Dhanjal, one of the main chefs and a founder of Atta. He was incredibly polite, well-spoken, and passionate about his craft. We were seated just beside the kitchen and loved watching him work his magic — such a treat to see someone so engaged and dedicated. Beautiful setting — definitely worth a visit.

Great gals night Friday dinner. Inside is really lovely, great decor, service is nice, probavly too many check ups, gals talk alot and forget to order 😁 Great company, fun evening, overall the food is good,and so well presented.

An exceptional fine dining experience – flawless service, exquisite presentation, and every dish bursting with flavor. The ambience was elegant yet warm, making it a perfect spot for a memorable evening.

Likely the best done done Indian in Melbourne. Good food, good service and a pleasant setting not much more to ask for

This restaurant might have excellent food, but the fact that their alarm is triggered by a fly ( some one who works there own words) and the alarm CONSTANTLY sounds, twice in one night at times or multiple times during the week suggests to me that there is an issue with insects or perhaps mice! I would not dine there!!

The best Indian food I had. Started with dirty samosa, ordered Lamb Chennai, palak paneer and butter chicken with rice and naan. All tasted good! Finished with dark chocolate torte.. was too busy eating that I only took a picture of the entre dirty samosa

Where Atta stands now, used to be a Vietnamese restaurant. So when I drove passed Atta two weeks ago and saw the change, it caught my eye, because the restaurant has a gorgeous facade and dim lighting on the inside, making it look stunning at night. I made a mental note of the new name and checked it out the second I got home, only to discover that it has a very impressive menu and I knew I had to try it. As soon as you walk inside, you are warmly greeted by the attentive staff. It's a spacious interior, so you don't feel cramped like in some other restaurants, and the tables are a good size which is always handy if you like to share dishes. The floors are a polished concrete, so your chairs slide in easily and quietly. The music is jazzy and gives you a feel of elegant dinning, though this can also be attributed to the gorgeous white lamps that adorn each table. Though they have the standards you'd expect like samosas, and butter chicken, they also have some more unusual options that you don't often see. For my entree, I chose the Achari Machli which is a twice cooked salmon in a mustard tempered coconut chutney. It was DELICIOUS. Not only was it one of the more exquisite things I've ever eaten, but the presentation was outstanding. It certainly goes above and beyond what you'd find at many other Indian restaurants. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the flavours were heavenly. The entree came out in a reasonable time, and devoured in seconds. For my main, I opted for what I knew I'd like, which is the butter chicken with saffron rice to share and a garlic naan. I asked for it to be prepared mildly and it was. It was so creamy and delicious and the garlic naan was flaky and totally the best naan I've ever had. Everything came out the way we ordered it and in a good time frame and presented beautifully. I guess you can say for sure this is a modern Indian restaurant without a single familiar clay pot or bronzed bowl. The dishes themselves were trendy and the flatware new and elegant. It all made for a very enjoyable meal. I did notice they did just one Uber Eats order, but no other takeouts. This made the kitchen be able to get peoples food out in good time which is always nice anywhere you go. The restaurant absorbs a lot of sound too, so even with almost every table taken, it wasn't too loud and you could enjoy your conversations without having to shout over everyone. The only negative I could possibly add, is that it is just a touch expensive to justify coming here on a regular basis (which makes me sad). It IS in the Entertainment Book, but those vouchers are now long gone. I'd say for this reason, you'd probably keep this as one of those restaurants you come to for an occasion, rather than having it become your go-to pick whenever the craving hits. I have to say though, that overall, it was very hard to fault Atta and I cannot wait to visit again. I highly recommend it if you love Indian food with a slight twist and enjoy a less casual dinning experience.
