About Base Camp

Hearty British-style curries and fragrant Himalayan regional plates meet across from Westgarth Cinema. The kitchen turns out generous bowls of slow-cooked Himalayan goat curry, sizzling balti dishes, and steamed momos alongside blistering rounds of garlic and cheese naan. Regulars count on swift floor service that gets tables fed comfortably before opening credits roll, paired with easy-drinking wines and mango lassi.

  • Himalayan & Subcontinental Flavours: Steamed momos and slow-simmered Himalayan goat curry sit alongside classic balti curries and soft tandoor naans.
  • Prime Pre-Cinema Dining: Located directly across from Westgarth Cinema, with floor staff pacing dishes promptly to hit film start times.

  • 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.
