Tonka Melbourne Reviews from The Last Year
Old favourite still delivers
Food was really delicious and interesting, especially the starters. Lots of flavours and textures make for good eating and fun discussions. The curries are good, with solid portions of meat, but it’s the sides and starters that add more variety. I normally avoid desserts in Indian restaurants but that would be a mistake here. Keep enough room. They are excellent Service was really excellent.
Give it a BIG miss or you will go home either hungry or broke!
The layout and design of the restaurant is lovely to look at. Tricky to find down the Melbourne alley way but it makes it intriguing. When receiving the menu you are advised that the food is designed to share! And we soon realize why. Everything about Tonka is ridiculously and disgustingly over priced. Yes we looked at the menu before going however we did not think it was $15 for ONE Crystal Bay prawn, the size of a spring roll and a prawn that can be purchased frozen by the kilo in the supermarket. Butter chicken $49!!!!! Ok but it is listed in the menu in the ‘bigger’ section. Ha! Bigger than what?? One piece of chicken the size of half a breast or thigh. But apparently it’s organic. And takes three days to make. Come on….who are you trying to kid? What a load of bull. And the wine. Just keeps getting better. And beware, unlike the restaurant the evening before they provide you with sparkling water which is on tap mind you, don’t disclose the price and then hit you with a $6 per person charge. When we were asked how was everything we politely told the wait staff that it was disgustingly overpriced for the portion sizes. She advised we speak to the owner who was at the bar. As we got up to leave we saw the waitress and owner run out the back awaiting our departure no doubt. I ventured back to share my disappointment with the owner who did not make any attempt at good service nor apologize or listen. She only came at me with excuses, sob stories and how hard the staff work. Being in the restaurant business myself previously I understand how hard staff work, including myself. However I feel like my well earned money was completely taken advantage of on this occasion. And I was also advised that in her 27 years in the business never has she received a complaint. I find that very hard to believe. Maybe people just don’t return. Having found out afterwards that the head chef and part owner who this restaurant was known for had parted ways the year before I imagine I know why! I have no problem paying for value, even a little over the top. But if I’m going to spend what is expected here I want some good old fashion white tablecloths to start with. Disappointing for sure and will never return to anything this owner runs.
During our inaugural trip to Australia, we came across this
During our inaugural trip to Australia, we came across this restaurant thanks to its positive Yelp reviews. Although its exterior appeared somewhat unassuming, resembling a hidden gem down a curious alleyway, we soon realized we were indeed at the right place. Once inside, we were promptly seated, a welcome surprise considering a prior establishment had informed us of being fully booked. The culinary experience here was undeniably delightful, with the food leaving a favorable impression.
Exceptional service and excellent food
Don't let the location fool you -- it really is on a dark alley, and it looks like you're entering through the kitchen. But -- the food was excellent! And what really stood out was the service. Our reservation was late evening, and they would clearly have liked for us to come earlier so they could go home. We couldn't due to our flight arrival, but they took great care of us anyway. They even let us try our first choice wine and changed to a different one for us. Neither the decor nor the food is as exotic as the website makes it seem, but that's all to the good. Wish we could go back again.
Great food and staff, except the disappointing lamb curry they serve with the Chef's choice menu
Mouthwatering appetisers. The kingfish tartare, prawn in betel nut leaf, and pani puri were unbeatable. The tandoori ocean trout was to die for and cooked to perfection. Unfortunately the lamb curry was more like a tasteless goulash. It didn't even look like a curry. i couldn't eat it. Would have given 6 stars it the curry was even a basic curry. (surprised with the previous good reviews of the lamb curry) The wines were delic too, thank you Chad. Also they refused to include the dessert in the advertised Chefs menu as there were only 2 of us. Attentive service by Gregory, thank you.
Coriander Tanks at Tonka
Everything seemed to go wrong with our experience. I can’t stand coriander (as does half the population take note chefs) and asked the waiter what didn’t have coriander in it. He advised me incorrectly and said he would advise the chef and then…didn’t. After that it was coriander all the way. I grimaced through the starter hoping it was a glitch. Funnily enough I overheard our same waitress advising our neighbours they couldn’t have two of the deserts due to their diet. They don’t carry a Sav Blanc by the glass, and squashed us all up at one end of the restaurant rather than …what…mop whole the floor? We sat in the corner booth listening to two loud conversations either side of us. Also the salt under the oysters was presented as a foam which we both ate by mistake and my daughter ended up most of the night in the bathroom. It was definitely one thing after the other. Sorry guys.
Indian cuisine at its best
The graffiti entrance is a complete opposite to the service inside. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the tables were well spaced. Most importantly the food was well presented and delicious.
Tonka ticks all boxes!
A fabulous meal with very attentive staff at Tonka. The trout, Rogan Josh, butter chicken, asparagus and accompaniments were very flavoursome and enjoyed by all. For a top night out whilst in Melbourne, I highly recommend this restaurant.
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous- but watch out for credit card fees
This is a wonderful restaurant experience in the heart of Melbourne. It is high end Indian fusion with some interesting twists. The welcome was warm and sincere. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and wine. When our meal arrived we were very happy. Everything was absolutely perfect and going along fine until the bill arrived with the sneaky credit card fee. Sure, the menu discloses there will be a credit card fee. But, the customer does not know the exact amount of the fee until the entire process is completed. In my case, the credit card fee was $5.21 so we are not talking about a great deal of money. I did leave a 10% tip because I felt that the service and food were exceptional and justified being acknowledged. However, if I had my time again, I would deduct the credit card fee from the tip I proposed to leave. I did raise my concerns with the waiter and I was told that most restaurants charge a credit card fee. This is simply not correct. Many restaurants in Melbourne do not charge credit card fees. Interestingly, this tends to be at the lower end of the market, rather than the higher end, as is the case with Tonka. Anyway, I think this is a great dining experience and I would recommend it. I just do not understand why a restaurant of this calibre runs the risk of alienating its client base with credit card fees.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
