Correction (1 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed ten “Indian food” venues in Dingley Village that we can find no record of, with dishes, prices and seat counts we cannot stand behind, and it claimed we had tested every one in person. We had not. The page has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources, and every price was copied from the venue’s own menu or ordering site on 1 October 2026.
Dingley Village is a quiet place to go looking for Indian food, and the Census gives some context. Community context: at the 2021 Census, 234 Dingley Village residents, 2.2 per cent of the suburb, were born in India, against 4.0 per cent across Victoria, and the most common language other than English spoken at home was Greek, at 3.9 per cent. So the honest way to eat Indian here is to start with the one kitchen we could confirm inside the suburb and then look over the boundary, which is how this list is built.
That kitchen is Delhi Egg House on Centre Dandenong Road. Wikipedia places Keysborough on Dingley Village’s south-eastern side and Mordialloc to the south-west, and the two Keysborough restaurants and the Mordialloc one below made the cut because each publishes its menu and prices on its own website. Dosa Hut in Clayton is here for South Indian food, and the chain’s own website carries a page offering delivery and takeaway to Dingley Village from that branch.
A primer for reading the boards. North Indian cooking, and the Punjabi kitchen in particular, runs on wheat breads and the tandoor, a clay oven far hotter than a home oven; South Indian cooking is built on rice and lentils, which is where the dosa and the idli come from. Menus move, so give them a squiz before you head out.

Delhi Egg House Indian Restaurant — 4/128 Centre Dandenong Rd, Dingley Village VIC 3172
The one Indian kitchen we could confirm inside Dingley Village. Everything Indian lists it at 4/128 Centre Dandenong Road on (03) 9558 3388, Whereis has the same unit number and phone, and its Uber Eats store gives 128 Centre Dandenong Road, with a menu that runs from value packs and tandoori starters to a “Chinese Selection”, a “Bone Goat” section and a breads basket. The website address that directories give for it did not load when we checked on 1 October 2026, and MELBZ copies prices only from a venue’s own menu, so there are no prices here: it is also listed on DoorDash, so check either app or ring ahead.
On the menu: the “Chinese Selection” is Indo-Chinese cooking, the Indian take on Chinese dishes, and here it includes vegetable fried rice and vegetable noodles.
Start with: the samosa chaat, which its Uber Eats menu describes as crispy samosa “topped with chaat-style sauces and aromatic spices”.
Mehfil Indian Restaurant — 291 Corrigan Rd, Keysborough VIC 3173
Over the Keysborough line, Mehfil puts its whole menu on its own ordering site, which also lists a 15 km delivery radius. The Hyderabadi biryani (spelt “Hyderbadi” on the menu) is $17.90, described as lamb cooked with basmati rice, mint and spices, and the chicken biryani is $16.90. Chicken butter masala, tandoor-cooked chicken simmered in tomato sauce and finished with butter, cream and cashews, is $19.90; the gosht rogan josh is $20.90, the samosa, a pastry stuffed with potatoes and green peas, is $7.90, and a garlic naan is $3.90.
On the menu: a biryani is rice cooked through with spiced meat rather than served beside it, and the Hyderabad style comes from the Deccan plateau in south-central India.
Start with: the Hyderabadi biryani, $17.90.
Mr Punjabi Bar & Grill — 199 Cheltenham Rd, Keysborough VIC 3173
The second Keysborough kitchen opens its menu with chaat, the tangy, crunchy street snacks of North India. Pani puri, eight hollow shells filled with spiced tamarind water, is $13.95, and samosa chaat, a crushed samosa under yoghurt and chutneys, is $14.95. From the tandoor, a half tandoori chicken, marinated in yoghurt and spices and chargrilled in the clay oven, is $16.95 or $25.95 for a full bird; butter chicken is $20.95, dal makhni (black lentils and kidney beans slow-cooked in butter and cream) is $18.95, and garlic naan is $4.95.
On the menu: pani puri is a one-bite snack: crack the shell, fill it, and eat it before the water softens it.
Start with: the pani puri, $13.95.
Saffron Indian Nepalese Restaurant and Bar — 493 Main St, Mordialloc VIC 3195
Down in Mordialloc, Saffron’s name says Indian and Nepalese, and its ordering menu carries both. Eight steamed chicken momo, “chicken dumplings steamed nepalese style”, are $18, and the Himalayan goat curry, a “Nepalese style Goat Curry with bones”, is $24. On the Indian side, butter chicken is $23 and garlic naan is $4.50.

Start with: the steamed chicken momo, $18 for eight.
Dosa Hut Clayton — 346 Clayton Rd, Clayton VIC 3168
The South Indian pick, and the one with a page written for this suburb: the chain’s website says “Now enjoy the best Indian food delivery and takeaway to Dingley Village” on a page that gives this Clayton branch’s address. A plain dosa, a thin crisp crepe of fermented rice-and-lentil batter, is $9.99 on its Clayton menu, and a masala dosa (listed under “Stuffing dosa”) is $17.99. Idly and vada, one steamed rice cake and one lentil doughnut, is $8.99, and there is a North Indian side too: butter chicken is $18.99.
On the menu: sambar, a tangy lentil-and-vegetable broth, is the usual partner for dosa and idli.

How we checked
On 1 October 2026 we read each venue’s own website, menu PDF or online ordering menu and copied every item and price exactly as printed. Mehfil’s prices come from the product lists its own ordering site loads; Saffron’s from the menu feed behind its own ordering site; Mr Punjabi Bar & Grill’s from its website and the menu PDF it links; Dosa Hut’s from its Clayton menu page. We confirmed each address at a second, independent source: the Australian Good Food Guide, Uber Eats, Apple Maps, Whereis or Everything Indian. Delhi Egg House is included without prices because the only menus we could read were its Uber Eats and DoorDash stores, and we do not copy delivery-app prices. Census figures are from the ABS 2021 QuickStats for Dingley Village, and the neighbouring suburbs are as Wikipedia lists them. Online ordering prices can differ from counter prices, and menus change. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show the kind of dish, not the venue’s own food.
