Here's what some of the critics have to say. But come and try for yourself.
Roti-Boti (bread and meat) serves classy Indian food in stylish surrounds. Linen napery and individual table lamps set a romantic tone and the sub-continental classics just keep on keeping on. The samosas are crisp, doughy parcels enclosing spicy peas and potatoes, and the chicken tikka is moist and beautifully charred. Northern style goat curry, bhoona beef with capsicum and tomatoes and chicken jalfrezi stand out among the meat dishes. But for sheer flavour you can't beat pumpkin bhaji seasoned with mustard and fennel seeds and a rich potato and spinach curry that's finished with a sprinkling of fresh coriander.
The Age Good Food Guide
This BYO Indian place is the stayer among the Hampton Street eateries. And so the family-run and family-friendly restaurant does a roaring trade - it's inexpensive; even takeaway attracts a 20 per cent discount. We prefer eating in the attractive dining room where tables are smartly appointed and service is pleasant. Nibble complementary pappadums while you contemplate a large yet standard Indian menu. After a substantial vegetarian platter for two with usual favourites of samosa and pakoras, a rogan josh was a delicately spiced and satisfying lamb curry relished with some kulcha - stuffed onion naan.

3AW's Dine Out Melbourne
Roti-Boti - "Bread and Meat" - is a classy Indian restaurant with attention to detail, obvious in both the stylish surrounds and the dishes. If you're new to Indian, ask your waiter to suggest some favourites. You can't go wrong with the chicken tikka and the rogan josh. The samosas, parcels containing spicy peas and potatoes, are not to be missed. And vegetarians will delight at the choice of flavoursome vegie dishes like pumpkin bhaji seasoned with mustard and fennel seeds or a potato and spinach curry with fresh coriander.
