Title card: Indian Food in Ivanhoe: One Restaurant We Could Verify

Correction (10 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 is a short page: one Indian restaurant in Ivanhoe passed our checks, so one is what you get. Cafe Saffron is on Upper Heidelberg Road, and we would rather list one place we could confirm than pad the page with others we could not.

We checked it against the restaurant’s own site and its Australian Good Food Guide listing. The hours and features below come from that listing, which the owner maintains, so they may be out of date.

The menu on the restaurant’s site appears to be older, so we print no prices. Ask the restaurant for the current menu.

Cafe Saffron — 238 Upper Heidelberg Rd, Ivanhoe VIC 3079

Cafe Saffron is listed at 238 Upper Heidelberg Road, and its own site gives the address as 238-240. The Australian Good Food Guide classes it as an Indian restaurant. Indian menus usually run across curries, breads and rice dishes, and a shared table is a common way to order them. We could not confirm the current dishes, so this page names none.

AGFG lists the restaurant as child friendly, BYO, takeaway and alfresco dining. These are listing features, so confirm them when you book. Its hours listing shows Monday closed, Tuesday to Friday 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM, and Saturday and Sunday 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM.

Start with: the AGFG hours listing, which shows lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Friday and dinner only on weekends, then confirm with the restaurant.

How we checked

We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 9 October 2026: the places’ own websites and the Australian Good Food Guide. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
