Correction (1 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed ten “Indian” restaurants in Narre Warren that we could not find anywhere, gave them street addresses under the postcode 3801, which is not Narre Warren’s (Narre Warren is 3805), recommended pasta, risotto and soup as their signature dishes, invented seat counts, and said every place had been visited in person. None of that was true. The page has been rewritten from scratch: every venue below was checked against its own website or ordering menu and a second, independent source on 1 October 2026, and nothing from the old page was kept.
The Indian food around Fountain Gate arrived with the people who live here, and the Census sketches who they are. At the 2021 count Narre Warren had 27,689 residents; 1,346 of them, 4.9 per cent, were born in India and another 1,057, 3.8 per cent, in Sri Lanka. Sinhalese (3.3 per cent) and Punjabi (2.1 per cent) were among the languages most often spoken at home after English. The kitchens on this list lean two ways: the rice-and-lentil cooking of South India, and the tandoor breads and rich curries of the North.
This guide stays close to home: two kitchens in Narre Warren itself, one in Narre Warren South and one in Hampton Park that delivers here. Each entry gives what the venue publishes itself, and prices only where its own menu prints them. Menus change, so check the venue’s page before you order.

How we checked
On 1 October 2026 we read each venue’s own website and online ordering menu and copied every item and price exactly as printed. Sri Ananda Bhavan’s and Welcome’s prices come from the menu lists their own websites load for online orders; Arya’s come from the ordering menu linked from its website. We confirmed each address at a second, independent source: the Australian Good Food Guide, Word of Mouth, Restaurant Guru or Online Dining. Little Spice’s details come from Westfield Fountain Gate’s own store directory; we did not find prices for it that we could rely on. Census figures are from the ABS 2021 QuickStats for Narre Warren. We do not repeat star ratings or other sites’ reviews. Online ordering prices can differ from counter prices. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show the kind of dish, not the venue’s own food.
