Horn Please

There was much rejoicing when Horn Please came to town, the sequel to the highly successful Dhaba at the Mill in Kyneton. This is traditional dhaba ('roadside') food in a sophisticated, candle-lit setting, raising the bar on Indian dining with top-notch ingredients. Fat crisp-shelled samosas are stuffed with Trentham potatoes, the mild vindaloo uses Macedon Ranges beef, and the gingery, yoghurt-marinated butter chicken is free-range. Do try the papdi chaat, puffy samosa 'chips' with chickpeas and spuds and a pomegranate-tamarind sauce. On Sundays, $20 buys all you can eat rice and curries, from 6pm to 9pm.
