Indian Restaurants in Balwyn (2026)
Balwyn has 3 indian restaurants. Here is every verified option.
#1 Chimes Indian — 170 Belmore Road, Balwyn
Indian
What makes it great: Chimes Indian fills up on weeknights. That is the real test of a restaurant. Spice is not heat. Spice is complexity. This kitchen builds layers — each bite reveals something the last one hid. The kind of restaurant that makes you eat slower because you want it to last.
Hours: Mo-Fr 17:00-22:00

#1 Cloves — 1056 Burke Road, Balwyn
Indian
What makes it great: Cloves has been doing this since before Balwyn got its reputation. The biryani is the benchmark dish. If a restaurant nails the biryani — the rice, the protein, the seal, the aromatic lift — it can cook anything. Add it to your rotation. You will not regret it.
