About Great Indian Wave

Boronia locals rely on this quiet Punjabi kitchen for comfort curries calibrated directly to personal heat tolerances. The family-run team checks table by table whether you want your butter chicken or korma soft, mild, or blistering hot. Curries simmer with deep, layered spicing, scooped up alongside fresh tandoori-baked naan and saffron rice. Generous takeaway portions travel well across town, while dine-in regulars often round out the meal with house kulfi.

  • Tailored spice intensity: Staff adjust heat levels dish by dish—from soft and mild to fiery—to suit every diner.
  • Generous takeaway portions: Plentiful portions and fast packing make it a staple for weeknight family takeaways.
  • Attentive family hospitality: The owner-run dining room accommodates special requests and gluten- or dairy-free needs.

    The butter chicken was great and the nan bread definitely made our night. Super fresh, non greasy, crunchy and light. It’s a very quiet cozy place.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on spice choices, dietary requests, and ordering times

  • Specify Your Preferred Heat Level

    Dishes are prepared to order with customizable heat levels. When dining in or calling through, you can specify whether you prefer your curries soft, mild, medium, spicy, or hot to match your palate.

  • Request Dairy-Free and Gluten-Free Options

    If you have dietary restrictions, ask the team directly. The kitchen can adapt recipes upon request to prepare dishes free of gluten and dairy.

  • Time Takeaway Orders Around Peak Delivery Hours

    Peak dinner hours bring a steady flow of online delivery orders, which can occasionally stretch kitchen wait times. For faster dinners at home, ordering directly for collection or ordering early helps avoid app-based delays.
