Correction (5 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 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Four places had enough on the public record for us to stand behind them: three Indian restaurants and one sweets shop. Two have Deer Park addresses, on the same stretch of Mount Derrimut Road. The other two are in neighbouring suburbs, Ravenhall and Cairnlea, so this is an “in and around Deer Park” list and each heading carries its own suburb.
Only one of the four, Desi-Licious, had a menu we could read with prices, so it is the only place with dishes and amounts below. For the other three we say what their own sites and the Australian Good Food Guide print, and we do not guess at the rest. Dishes are explained in a line for anyone reading a menu for the first time.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |

Aangan Derrimut — Unit 6-7/85 Mount Derrimut Road, Deer Park VIC 3023
The Australian Good Food Guide lists Aangan Derrimut at Unit 6-7/85 Mount Derrimut Road, Deer Park, and OpenStreetMap carries the same Deer Park address. The guide lists its hours as 12:00 PM - 10:30 PM every day, Monday to Sunday, but we could not confirm them on the restaurant’s own site, which is a script-driven page, so treat them as listed rather than confirmed and ring before a weekday lunch visit.
The restaurant’s own site names Derrimut as one of four function-room locations, alongside Hawthorn, Clayton and Keilor, and describes the Derrimut room as a “Warm and stylish space perfect for family functions and celebrations.” We could not read menu prices for this place, so this page names no dishes for it.
On the menu: we could not read a dish list or prices for Aangan Derrimut, so check its site before you go.
Kumar’s Sweets — 3/85 Mount Derrimut Rd, Deer Park VIC 3023
Kumar’s Sweets lists its address as 3/85 Mount Derrimut Rd, the same street number as Aangan Derrimut, in a different unit. Its own site prints hours of “Monday to Sunday 9AM - 9PM”, and invites you to “Pop by for a snack, grab a gift box, or stock up for a celebration.”
The Australian Good Food Guide lists the shop with Catering, Gluten Free Options, Onsite Parking, Takeaway and Vegetarian Options, and prints different hours from the shop’s own site, so ring before a special trip. In Indian cooking, mithai is the word for sweets, and a gift box of them is a usual way to mark a celebration. We could not read a priced menu for the shop.
Start with: the gift box, going by the site’s own line about snacks, gift boxes and celebrations.
Desi-Licious — 269 Robinsons Rd, Ravenhall VIC 3023
Ravenhall is a neighbouring suburb of Deer Park. The Australian Good Food Guide lists Desi-Licious with BYO, Fully Licensed, Gluten Free Options, Halal Options and Vegetarian Options among its features. It lists lunch, 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM, Thursday to Sunday, and dinner from 5:00 PM every day except Tuesday, when it lists the place as closed.
The menu describes the paneer tikka as cottage cheese marinated with home ground spices and cooked over glowing embers (paneer is a fresh, unaged cheese). The lunch section’s butter chicken is described as tender chicken pieces in a creamy makhani sauce, served with naan or rice. The veg thali is listed under lunch as 4 curries with naan, rice, pappadum, raita, dessert, salad and a salted lassi; a thali is a plate that gathers several small dishes into one meal.
On the menu (copied from thedesilicious.com.au/menu on 5 October 2026):
- PANEER TIKKA: $17.99
- Veg Thali: $22.00
- Butter Chicken + Naan/ Rice: $18.00
- Tandoori Chicken Naan: $14.00
Start with: at lunch, which AGFG lists from Thursday to Sunday, the butter chicken with naan or rice at $18.00 or the veg thali at $22.00; at dinner, the paneer tikka at $17.99.
The Mustard Seed — 23/100 Furlong Rd, Cairnlea VIC 3023
Cairnlea is a neighbouring suburb of Deer Park. The Mustard Seed’s own site lists “B.Y.O and Licensed” and trading hours of Monday closed, Tuesday 5:00pm-10:00pm, Wednesday and Thursday 12:00pm-10:00pm, and Friday to Sunday 9:00am-3:00pm and 5:00pm-10:00pm.
The site’s buttons read “ORDER ONLINE”, “MAKE A RESERVATION” and “DISCOVER OUR VENUE”, and it says “Order Takeaway And Home Delivery Today”. We could not read a menu or prices for this place, so we are not naming dishes.
On the menu: we could not read it, so use the site’s order or reservation buttons to see what is served.
