Base Camp - Northcote

What a gem! The curries were delicious and the naan bread was sensational. They were happy to make the curries mild too. A small selection of Nepalese beers too as well as kingfisher.

I’ve eaten a lot of sub continental food so was hoping for something special at Base Camp. There are all your favourites with generous portion sizes and great service. Between 10 of us we had a selection of traditional meals like lamb curry, vegetarian dishes, beef curry, tandoori, roti, rice, raita and more. Every meal had its own unique taste and although I’d call the flavours ‘Australianised’ it was still good. You can eat in or takeaway and the kitchen was doing a roaring trade with orders. So although not busy inside, the Uber eats were coming and going. Note: wheelchair accessible, disabled friendly, kid friendly, reasonable parking out the front as well as a tram stop.

This is British style Indian food so it tends to be sweeter and milder on spice unless you ask. The Eggplant curry is my all time favourite.

I came back a week later and it was even better! Unreal! I get Palak Paneer wherever I go, and this is one of the best. Even better, they had everything in vegan options!

Regularly get the butter chicken, and holy moly it’s good! A little on the pricy side but the quality is always consistent and the portions are enormous.
