Bobby’s ghee obsession officially got out of hand.

We literally counted how many times he said “ghee”… and it was a LOT.

15/05/2026

When Friday night hits, you already know where I’ll be… Vodka Golgappa in hand.

If you’re game to try one, come in and say: “Bobby made me do it.”

I wanna see who’s brave.

11/05/2026

Every Desi has its own vibe, and its own “don’t leave without trying this” dish.

I’m breaking down what each location is famous for, so you know exactly what to order when you walk in.

Tell me which Desi you’re repping.

07/05/2026

POV: you try paratha for the first time… and suddenly you’ve got questions.

Tag the mate who still hasn’t tried one.

Alright, I’m on the tawa making Gobhi Paratha, my number one favourite. And yes, I’m going heavy on the desi ghee, because that’s how it’s meant to be.

Will it beat my Mum and Dad’s? Probably not. Am I trying? Absolutely.

Come try it at Melton Unlimited Breakfast, Saturday and Sunday.

28/04/2026

Samosa Chaat being made right now, crispy, saucy, messy in the best way.

If you’ve never had it, you’re about to understand why people fight over the last bite.

Save this for your next Desi order.

24/04/2026

Bobby’s parathas at Desi are built off his kids’ grandpa’s recipe, the one that started it all. He’s shown the kitchen exactly how it’s made, and now we’re replicating it the right way so Melton gets the real deal for our Unlimited Breakfast. Cooked on the tawa with plenty of desi ghee, because that’s the whole point.

Save this for your next weekend feed in Melton.

23/04/2026

Mum’s getting flowers from us this Mother’s Day, so don’t stress about the bouquet.

Put that energy into the important part: a proper Desi feast and a table full of food.

22/04/2026

Bobby’s go-to with poori aloo and parathas is lassi, and if you know, you know: the Jira Lassi hits different. Proper Punjabi style, cooling, creamy, dangerous.

Add a lassi onto your Melton Unlimited Breakfast (every Saturday and Sunday- Melton only) for + $5 and thank yourself later.

16/04/2026

I’ve just done the Unlimited Breakfast special in Melton and I’m telling you right now, I am FULL. Five dishes, proper Desi style, and I’m officially done for the day. Come hungry to Desi Dhaba Melton, Saturdays and Sundays only.

14/04/2026

We’re back in the kitchen and I’m making Chole Bhature. Absolute icon. I pretty much lived on this as a kid, and I’m not ashamed to say I’m still a big kid, so I still smash it.
Catch it on the Melton Unlimited Breakfast menu, weekends at Desi Dhaba Melton.

09/04/2026

Poori Aloo takes me straight back. Mum used to make it for me every Saturday, and I’d be hanging around the kitchen waiting for the first poori to come off. Now we're making it for you at Melton, and trust me, it still tastes like home.

07/04/2026

We’re back in the kitchen and I’m making Poori Aloo. Fresh pooris, golden and crispy, with that proper aloo curry on the side. Simple, classic, and the kind of breakfast that disappears fast at Desi Dhaba Melton.

03/04/2026

Unlimited Breakfast is on every Saturday and Sunday at Desi Dhaba Melton. For $14.95 you get unlimited servings for 1 hour, so come hungry and don’t be shy. Exclusive to Melton, nowhere else.
Swipe to see how it works (aka the house rules) and how to make the most of your 1 hour.

01/04/2026

Alright, I’m talking parathas now and it’s honestly a bad idea because it’s making me hungry.
Crispy, hot, stuffed properly, and the kind of food that makes you go quiet after the first bite.
Catch them on the Unlimited Breakfast special at Desi Dhaba Melton, Saturdays and Sundays.
