  • Approachable Modern Fusion Flavours

    A creative modern Australian-Indian menu delivers approachable, milder spice profiles that satisfy both Indian cuisine enthusiasts and cautious diners.

    Good place to go if you want unauthentic/not too spicy Indian food, the flavours of the prawn curry and the yellow dhal are nice and mild

  • Garlic Naan

    The butter chicken was delicious and perfectly portioned for two. The palak paneer was also excellent, with a generous serving of paneer. The chai teas were a perfect way to warm up from the cold winter :)

Before you head over

Practical dining tips on ordering, transit, and accessibility for your visit.

  • Order the Banquet for Mixed Spice Tolerances

    Even if traditional Indian spice levels worry your group, the fusion banquet and mild curries like butter chicken and yellow dhal accommodate timid palates without sacrificing generous portions.

  • Plan Ahead for CBD Parking and Transit

    Street parking around Little Bourke Street can be unreliable, so take advantage of nearby paid parking structures or travel via Melbourne's free tram zone instead.

  • Book Early and Flag Accessibility Needs

    Because the dining room and facilities are a tight squeeze, book ahead and notify staff in advance if you require accommodation for prams or mobility devices.
