“Food, hygiene, service, atmosphere and upon that a kind human staff. We were running late to reach Melbourne and we asked them if they can pack food for us that too at 11.30 PM when usually they close kitchen. Instead, they pleased us by serving food on the table. We were the only one after 12:00 AM and all the staff treated and served us well. It was first visit for us and we really liked the food much. Will definitely recommend”

“The Nihari was incredible — slow-cooked to perfection with that deep, rich flavour you can only get from proper technique. Outstanding.”

“I've tried Pakistani food across Australia and AL Nawab is easily the most authentic. The Paneer White Karahi is a must-try for vegetarians.”

“One of the best Indian and Pakistani food in Melbourne hands down!! You have to order their big tandoori platter if you’re going with family as their portions are HUGE! And their curries are so tasty as well, I recommend the mutton handi for sure!! Love this place :)”

Where Lahore Meets
Melbourne
From a humble beginning to a Melbourne favourite, AL Nawab brings the rich and bold flavours of Pakistan to your table. Our journey started with a single passion: to share the authentic taste of Pakistani cuisine with the people of Melbourne.
Every dish on our menu is a tribute to the culinary traditions of Lahore, Peshawar and Karachi, cooked with the same spices, the same techniques, and the same love that has been passed down through generations.
Today, from our home in St Kilda, we continue to serve the community with pride, welcoming everyone to our table as family.
