Overview
Looking for a spicy vindaloo or piping hot naan straight from the tandoor oven? Melbourne offers a diversity of Indian restaurants representing a wide variety of local styles and flavours. For the best of the best, head to Tonka, an elegant modern-Indian spin from the guys behind Coda. It's been a CBD stalwart since 2013.
Drop into Daughter in Law for '70s Bollywood vibes and the (justly famous) yogurt kebab, or tuck into no-fuss chicken masala at Biryani House. And don't neglect the suburbs either: most of Melbourne's best Indian restaurants aren't found in the CBD. Babu Ji in St Kilda is a crowd favourite for a reason, and Brunswick's Bhang has you covered for regional street food. Trust us, their bharli vanghi (chargrilled eggplant) is a thing of beauty.
Spicy or mild, traditional or state-of-the-art, Melbourne's Indian food scene has a little something for everyone.
