Indian Rogan Josh

Named after their signature dish – the iconic, aromatic red lamb curry of Rogan Josh, popular across Iran, Pakistan and North India – India Rogan Josh is headed by Ranjeet Gujiral, a chef with years of experience in the trade. She cooks up Indian specialities for the hungry public of Ferntree Gully and the eastern suburbs of Melbourne from her restaurant on Burwood Highway, using all her expertise to keep them coming back again and again.

Rogan Josh is a trademark dish of any Indian kitchen – aromatic lamb, cooked until tender in a brilliant red sauce with onions, yoghurt and spices – and every curry house has their own recipe. To name your restaurant is a brave move then, but at Indian Rogan Josh in Ferntree Gully, they have a secret weapon. Ranjeet Gujiral is one of the finest exponents of the dish in Melbourne, and her lamb curry-based marketing plan seems to be working: the punters keep returning to their restaurant on Burwood Highway.

There is more to Indian Rogan Josh in Ferntree Gully than just their eponymous speciality. They offer a full Indian menu, with a wide range of starters – samosas, bhajis, paneer – as well as a tandoori oven, which keeps the Melbourne curry cognoscenti coming back to Burwood Highway to experience their kebabs. The tandoor also provides fresh bread, which is the perfect delivery method for their curries, many of which are vegetarian and vegan, and all of which can be made gluten-free on demand. Every base is covered – just make sure you book a table to be sure of getting a seat!
