Save this one for your next Dote day

Take the tram out to Ashton for a vegetarian Indian feast at the family restaurant that grew out of a cash-and-carry café.

Why it's a good date: It's been run by the same family since the 1970s and the cooking is the reason people make the trip. Order more than you think you need, share it all, and pick up something sweet from the counter on the way out.
