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, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This is a short list on purpose. Only two places passed our checks for casual, lower-priced meals in and around Mckinnon: Swaad India’s Zest in Bentleigh and Bombay Club in Ormond. Both are Indian restaurants, and padding the page with a third would mean guessing.
Every price below is copied from the menu page linked under Sources, and each one sits next to its item. Menus change and neither site shows a current date, so confirm with the restaurant before you go.
Bombay Club’s menu has the cheaper board. Swaad India’s Zest has one item that sits in lower-priced territory, with most mains priced above it.

Swaad India’s Zest prints Traditional Crispy Samosa (2 pieces) (DF) at $16.95, the lowest price in the menu section we copied. A samosa is a fried pastry parcel with a spiced filling, usually potato. Its mains sit higher: the menu prints Potato Eggplant Curry at $24.95. Its site lists dine-in, takeaway and delivery, including delivery to McKinnon.

- Paneer Tikka Masala (chef-inspired masala sauce): $26.95
- Traditional Crispy Samosa (2 pieces) (DF): $16.95
The move: check the hours first, since OpenStreetMap lists Tuesday to Sunday, 16:00 to 22:00 and that tag may be out of date, then start with the samosa.
Bombay Club — 564 North Road, Ormond VIC 3204

AGFG lists Takeaway, BYO and Child Friendly for the restaurant.
