Aromas of ginger, garlic, cloves and cumin waft from this old bluestone mill. Inside you'll be hit by a wave of conviviality and curry, where country-style hospitality meets seriously good Indian food. Sourcing locally (Trentham potatoes, Kyneton lamb, Bendigo beef) and moderating northern and southern recipes for the modern palate, Dhaba is a country jewel. Menus are ever-changing - think crisp pastry rolls filled with pear, coriander, zucchini, carrot and cabbage; smoky eggplant curry; and a silky free-range butter chicken. Cardamom, honey and pistachio kulfi is a fine way to exit. Also Dhaba Foodvan in Woodend.
