Savera Indian Cafe and Take-Away

Away out in the Melbourne suburbs, Savera Indian Cafe & Restaurant brings an authentic taste of the Indian subcontinent to Lilydale. The restaurant's name means new beginning in Hindi, and they are certainly creating something brand new down on Main Street, with chefs that use their decades of experience in Indian cuisine to a build a menu that pushes the boundaries and expectations of even the most experienced of curry connoisseurs.

With a name meaning new beginning or new day in Hindi, Savera Indian Cafe & Restaurant is dedicated to doing something original with Indian food in Melbourne. They have been in business on Main Street in Lilydale for over 10 years, and have spent the whole time innovating and experimenting with Indian recipes to create something that adds their own touch to the canon. Take their calamari pakoras, for example, which blends an Aussie favourite with a Indian twist.

Originality is the watchword on Main Street in Melbourne’s Lilydale district, but that isn’t to say that they neglect the classics. Indian food is rightly very popular in Melbourne, and the chefs at Savera are clever enough to know not to mess too much with tradition. Their tandoor oven produces the classics that one would expect to see – butter chicken, tikka and paneer – and their curries are as good as one would expect from a restaurant that is still going strong after 11 years.
