Correction (9 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.
A suburb’s food usually follows its streets, and the curry houses here sit along High Street, St Georges Road and Queens Parade. This page covers six Indian restaurants in and around Northcote: three in Northcote, two in Fitzroy North and one in Clifton Hill.
Each one was checked against at least two independent sources. Where a restaurant’s own site and the Australian Good Food Guide disagree about hours, we say which listing we used. Two of the six publish prices we could read, and for the others we say so rather than guess.
