Shavans Pinewood

Venue was great. the service was fast and accurate. Food was amazing. Portion sizing for two big eaters was good, could probably get away with ordering 1 curry per 2 people when paired with naan and rice.

Highly recommended.

It is a well maintained, well decorated Indian/ Sri Lankan restaurant. I ordered Goat curry that was not in the menu and the owner obliged. The dish didn't disappoint me at all. Lamb Roghan Josh, Prawn curry, fish masala, garlic naans, butter chicken, chutneys etc. everything was cooked to perfection.

Food is indeed very delicious, although they can slightly improve the Daal (dhal) Makhani which is a North Indian dish.

Live music was an added bonus.

Amazing place to eat modern Indian dishes. Trust me there are plethora of foods to taste. Impressive wine collection and truly amazed by the tastes of foods. You may never find such cleanliness and ambience in any other Indian restaurant.

During the difficult times of covid where most places were closed these guys provided me with feeds that reminded me of back home. Authentic food which taste as good if not better than your own mothers cooking!!

Due to this as soon as lockdowns we’re lifted I had my going away drinks at their upstairs bar. This was another level and all my guest had a blast. The owner was super nice and very accomodating to my every need!!

Highly recommend this place either for a chill dinner or an all out party this place has you covered. I wish we could give a bonus star because if we could they surely deserve it!!

This place is a gem, food, ambience and service were excellent. Its just a comfortable, pleasant restaurant. Certainly not cheap, but I think worth a special night with my wife. I've noticed some not so engaging reviews! Please stay at Cafe McDonald's where your appraisal is more accurate.

Brilliant Restaurant. Best Curries I have ever had, particularly enjoyed the Sri Lankan varieties.
The manager was very helpful and polite. The service is prompt which is something I like.
The wine list is not to bad either and the decor is classy.
This place is way above your normal Indian Restaurant.
I highly recommend this Restaurant.

On of the best Indian/Sri Lankan restaurants in Pinewood and around. Well experienced chef in the house so can’t go wrong with great team. Fresh and delicious authentic food with big range of alcohol too. Keep up the good work team 😊. Thank you for the great hospitality too.

Exceptional service is the cherry on top. Staff members were attentive, knowledgeable, and prompt. They made sure to check in frequently, but not too much to become intrusive. Every need was catered to with a genuine smile.

We have been here a few times. Food is delicious. Dosa really authentic taste. Fish curry so much flavour. Our favouirite the lamb cutlets and cheese naan delicious. The waiter was very polite. Atmosphere and ambience high quality. Servings are large & generous. Asked for a few take away boxes no problem. Packed our leftovers for our dinner tomorrow night. Highly recommend Shavans for good authentic Indian food.

Nice quiet place to have a relaxed meal. Had fish cutlets with other food we ordered and so tasty.

I have just found the best Indian/Sri Lankan restaurant in Melbourne.
Stylish decor with white table cloths, proper cutlery and china.
What a pleasure to go to such a well considered place to dine.
Great service, great wine list and most importantly superb food.
I have eaten Indian food since frequenting the original Indian restaurant in Melbourne, The Taj Mahal in Chapel street Windsor and can say this is the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to.
I highly recommend it and I will certainly be a regular from now on.

If you're a fan of exotic meats, then you won't want to miss out on the wild boar and venison dishes at this restaurant! The casava with wild boar and casava with venison were especially tasty and unique, offering a delightful fusion of Sri Lankan and Indian cuisine.

In addition to the excellent food, the restaurant has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that is perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner for two. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure that your dining experience is a pleasant one from start to finish.

Overall, I highly recommend this Sri Lankan and Indian restaurant to anyone who is looking for a delicious and memorable meal. Whether you're a fan of spicy curries, exotic meats, or just good food in general, you're sure to find something that you love here. So why not give it a try and see for yourself why this restaurant is such a gem?

The food was delicious. The ambience is lovely too. I had beef Korma and my dinner companions had spicier paneer vegetarian dishes. With that we had really yummy Kashmiri rice. Check it out.

Had an absolutely memorable experience at Shavan's Pinewood! The wild boar with cassava was divine, each with an orchestra of flavors that left us longing for more. The Eggplant Masala was the star, a unique blend of spices that was both comforting and adventurous. Loved the welcoming atmosphere and attentive service. Can't wait to go back for more! Five stars!

Great food at very reasonable prices. Staff seem to be owners, very warm, friendly and helpful!

This is my favourite resturant. The best Indian and Sri Lankian food - wonderful combination of herbs and spices. My favourite is the Kashmiri Nan and the lamb stuffed mushrooms. Great wines and cocktails too. I always bring visitors here for a treat. Family outings as well. friendly service too. Came away happy and satisfied.

A hidden gem. The food is absolutely outstanding - it’s difficult to find great Sri Lankan food in Melbourne, and this place is the best I’ve come across. We had hoppers for dinner, and they were so delicious! The chicken curry was spicy, complex and authentic. YOU MUST GET THE HOPPERS!
Vibe/ atmosphere is not super modern, it’s just a really warm and nice. The service is very good.
I seriously highly recommend this place.

I'd be happy to write a review for Shavans Pinewood, a restaurant that serves Sri Lankan and Indian cuisine.

Let me start by saying that the food at Shavans Pinewood is absolutely delicious! There are several standout dishes on the menu, but I particularly enjoyed the Vanison, Manioc, Wild Boar, and Kottu. The flavors were bold and well-balanced, and the portion sizes were just right. It's clear that the chefs at Shavans Pinewood put a lot of care and attention into their dishes.

Another dish that I loved at Shavans Pinewood was the Roti. It was soft and pillowy, with just the right amount of chewiness. It was the perfect accompaniment to the main dishes, and I found myself using it to soak up every last bit of sauce and flavor.

The atmosphere at Shavans Pinewood was cozy and welcoming, with warm lighting and comfortable seating. The staff were friendly and attentive, and they were happy
