If you do not prefer tea, then you can opt for a creamy coffee from Melbourne's authentic Melbrew.

Another stall that attracted desi food lovers is the Punjabian Dhaba, serving mouth-watering Gol Gappe, Saag Paneer, and Chai.

Another desi spot to try is the Lahori Tawa piece by Arif Chatkhara, serving fried pieces of chicken roasted in desi spices with naan and raita.
