About Toddy Indian Restaurant

Toddy trades the conventional endless curry catalog for a sharp, modern menu served across spacious Glen Huntly Road tables. Diners lean into artfully plated plates like crisp smashed samosas, tender slow-cooked lamb shanks, and rich beef cheek. Rather than standard boneless cuts, the kitchen crafts its butter chicken with bone-in poultry to deepen the tandoor-kissed gravy. Fluffy garlic naan arrives hot from the tandoor alongside fragrant coconut rice, while takeaway bundles keep Elwood and Elsternwick locals stocked with generous portions for next-day leftovers.

  • Bone-In Butter Chicken: The kitchen bypasses typical boneless curries to simmer chicken on the bone, locking deep flavor into its velvety sauce.
  • Curated Modern Fare: Dine-in guests get a focused lineup of contemporary plates, from smashed samosas to tender beef cheek and lamb shank.
  • Generous Takeaway Bundles: Priced for weeknight convenience, packed takeaway bundles deliver generous serves built for repeat meals.

  • Inventive Bone-In Butter Chicken

    Dine-in curries stand apart through distinctive preparation methods, including rich, flavorful butter chicken served on the bone rather than standard boneless cuts.

    the chicken was on the bone rather than boneless pieces, but it was easy to eat, and tasted so dang good!

Before you head over

Practical guidance on menu styles, dish preparation, and arrival timing for your visit to Toddy.

  • Expect Bone-In Butter Chicken

    The dine-in butter chicken is prepared with whole, bone-in chicken pieces rather than diced boneless cuts. Keep this in mind if you prefer boneless chicken curries.

  • Navigate the Curated Dine-In Menu

    The eat-in menu is selectively curated with modern fusion dishes like smashed samosas, beef cheek, and lamb shank. If you are looking for conventional Indian staples, check their broader takeaway menu.
