About Bhang

Just off Sydney Road, Bhang turns out elevated Indian street food with zero pretense. Around Brunswick, arguments over the suburb's top butter chicken usually settle right here—thick, rich, and minus the separated oil slick. The kitchen keeps baseline spice mild, though staff will crank the heat the second you ask. The move is the Feed Me thali, paired with a Kheera Masala cocktail cut with cucumber and chili.

  • 'Feed Me' Thali Banquet: Curated across meat and vegetarian courses, the multi-dish banquet takes the guesswork out of ordering.
  • House Spiced Cocktails: The bar balances savory depth and botanical infusions in drinks like the cucumber-laced Kheera Masala and sour Tom Yum.
  • Customizable Heat Levels: Curries and tandoor dishes arrive gently seasoned by default, with the kitchen happy to turn up the heat on request.
  • Lively Multi-Level Space: Vintage Bollywood posters and warm service anchor a buzzing room split between a casual downstairs bar and dining upstairs.

  • Tailored Heat & Balanced Spicing

    Curries arrive approachable and delicately balanced by default, with the kitchen gladly dialing up the chili heat to exact customer preference upon request.

    mild by default, but they’re more than happy to turn up the heat if you ask.
