  • Dual Himalayan and Subcontinental Menu

    Traditional Indian favourites pair with regional specialties like Himalayan goat curry, chicken momos, and Tibetan dishes.

    One of the best Indian restaurants in Melbourne, and I love the additions of Tibetan dishes on their menu.

  • Patient Guidance for Group Diners

    Front-of-house staff take time to explain spice levels and menu options, ensuring all party members find their ideal dish.

    Two older friends had never tried indian before, the waitress, Marina, was the most patient and informative person, she took her time to talk through each of the dishes.
