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, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.

A good dinner date starts with a price you can see before you book and hours you can plan around. This page covers three Bundoora restaurants: Namaste Indian Restaurant, Spice Kitchen Bundoora and Soprano’s Pizza Bar & Restaurant.

The angle is the sit-down dinner, so we looked at what each place lists on BYO or a licensed bar, plus hours and menu prices. Drinks are optional, and each entry notes where this page has no detail. Each was checked against its own site and the Australian Good Food Guide.

Plan B is simple: ring ahead, because listed details can change.

Namaste Indian Restaurant — 16 McLeans Rd, Bundoora VIC 3083

AGFG lists Namaste Indian Restaurant with BYO, Alfresco Dining, Child Friendly and Takeaway. Its site lists dinner Tuesday to Sunday, 5:00pm to 9:45pm, and lunch Wednesday to Friday, 12:00pm to 2:30pm. It lists Monday closed. This page prints no menu prices for it, and the site describes vegan and vegetarian dishes if that matters for the table.

Split or splurge: This page copies no Namaste prices, so check the menu on its site before you book.

Spice Kitchen Bundoora — 1268A Plenty Rd, Bundoora VIC 3083

Spice Kitchen’s site says: “We have a fully licensed Bar and We are BYO Wine only!” So you can pick a bar night or bring your own wine. Its menu prints COCONUT RICE at $7.95 and DAAL MAKHNI at $18.95. It also prints CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA at $21.95. We have not printed its hours.

On the menu (copied from spicekitchenbundoora.com.au on 9 October 2026):

  • COCONUT RICE: $7.95
  • DAAL MAKHNI: $18.95
  • CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA: $21.95
  • ANDRA SPICY CHICKEN: $21.95

Say this: Ask whether the bar or BYO wine suits your night, since its site lists both.

Soprano’s Pizza Bar & Restaurant — 1312 Plenty Road, Bundoora VIC 3083

Soprano’s site lists store hours to 1:00am on Sunday to Thursday and to 2:00am on Friday and Saturday. Monday to Wednesday hours start at 3:00pm, and the other days start at 12:00pm. Its menu prints Veggie Parma at $32 and Tiramisu at $12.50. Its details may have changed, so check before you go.

On the menu (copied from sopranospizzabundoora.com.au on 9 October 2026):

  • Tiramisu: $12.50
  • Veggie Parma: $32
  • Sticky Date Pudding: $17

Exit plan: Its site lists store hours well past dinner; ring ahead to check they suit a late sit-down finish.
