Book NowAbout 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.
