Nila Restaurant

«go on, treat yourself to the goat» is a fairly common saying among my housemates. The goat masala here is off the hook good. In fact everything’s awesome here from the awesome range of cheap curries, dosai to the roti that’s made out the front of the restaurant while you watch.
The staff here are ridiculously friendly! To the point where I think the guy who owns it was trying to get us to go to the northern territory with him, in a friendly way, not the creepy way!
This place has a great tacky charm, and in my mind is the best Indian/​Malaysian in the area by a long shot. It’s well worth braving the stupid Sydney rd traffic to try this place out.

Love the Chilli Chicken. Simple and delicious. Nice for a cheap night out or takeaway.

This is my favorite restaurant in Coburg and I have been here often because it is an easy walk from home. I have explored their extensive menu of traditional Indian, Malaysian and Sri Lankan dishes trying everything from the usual curries to their venison biryani and haleem, a mutton dish that is part of ancient cuisine of Hyderabad.
Nila’s specialty is roti, dosai and other types of Indian pancakes that are cooked at the front of the restaurant adding to charm and authenticity of the dinning experience. Their ghee dosai is spectacular creation with a very large thin rice pancake formed into a cone on which a second pancake is impaled like the brim of a hat. My favorite is their Murthaba Ayam, a stuffed roti filled with chicken, onion, tomato, chili, fresh egg and spices.
Nila offers great food at affordable prices making it a favorite for students and families. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal and the décor basic with Bollywood music videos playing on two televisions, except during the cricket season when there is cricket, of course, and during Ramadan when they are switched off. The restaurant is halal and during Ramadan has an all you can eat buffet.
Upstairs there is a function room for catered parties. All the food is halal and there is an extensive vegetarian selection.
