Correction (11 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
This page has three Indian restaurants on Burwood Highway: India Gate and Babaji’s Kitchen in Belgrave, and The Hungry Hiker Indian and Nepali Restaurant in Tecoma, next door to Belgrave.
This page sticks to what the listings say. Each place was matched to its own site, OpenStreetMap or AGFG, and hours appear only where we copied them. BYO, if the tag is new to you, means you bring your own wine.
