For those customers who have been at SHADES FOODS before, welcome back.

If this is your first visit, we invite you to discover our takeaway and catering menu, specially designed to transform your meals and special events into unique culinary experiences.

It is on Gladstone Road in Dandenong that one finds SHADES; a charming local takeaway which has undoubtedly been one of Melbourne’s best-kept secrets. In a city known for its multiculturalism, Shades Foods’ Sri Lankan inspired and Western influenced flavours, combined with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, certainly fits the bill.

We are accessible and have convenient parking on the street or in the lot, front of the cafe.

We look forward to serving you!
