Correction (1 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed ten “Indian” venues in Point Cook that do not exist, with invented prices, seat counts and tips, dishes such as risotto and charcuterie, and the postcode 3169, which is not Point Cook’s. It has been rewritten from scratch. Every restaurant below was confirmed at two independent sources, and every price was copied from the venue’s own menu on 1 October 2026.
Point Cook’s Indian restaurants cook for a suburb with deep ties to India, and the Census puts numbers on it. At the 2021 count Point Cook had 66,781 residents, and after Australia, India was the most common country of birth. The five kitchens below cover the whole map, from Punjabi butter chicken and tandoor breads to the crisp rice-and-lentil dosas of the south.
Community context: at the 2021 Census, 14.9 per cent of Point Cook residents were born in India, Indian was the most common ancestry response at 17.4 per cent, and 6.4 per cent of residents used Hindi at home, with Punjabi at 3.0 per cent (ABS QuickStats, Point Cook, 2021).
The precinct: there is no single Indian strip here. Two of these kitchens are on Adelphi Boulevard, at numbers 20 and 28, two are on Murnong Street, and Dosa Hut is on Tom Roberts Parade. Menus and prices move, so give them a squiz before you head out.

One note on the address: Priya’s own site gives 263 Murnong Street, while AGFG and the Point Cook Victoria directory list 130/6 Murnong Street, so ring 9395 6644 before you go.

The Point Cook ordering menu runs from chaat and South Indian starters through North Indian entrees, curries, Hyderabadi dum biryani and Indo-Chinese to a full dosa list, with masala dosa and cholle bhature both on it. Its ordering site shows prices only inside a web app we could not read as a page, so none are quoted here; its own page says it is open for dine-in, pick-up and takeaway.
On the menu: pani puri are hollow, crisp shells you crack open, fill with potato and chickpea, and dip in a sharp, spiced water, one bite each. If you searched for “Dosa Hut Point Cook” and landed here, Kesari’s page carries the line “Dosa Hut Point Cook is now Kesari Point Cook” about this Town Centre shop. Dosa Hut’s own website lists a Point Cook branch at Tom Roberts Parade, above, so check which address you want before you go.

Pint Size Indian — 20 Adelphi Boulevard, Point Cook VIC 3030

The web menu includes tandoori paneer tikka, a “dirty samosa” smashed with chickpea curry and chutneys, a chef’s-special dal makhani of slow-cooked black lentils, and a chef’s-special butter chicken. AGFG lists lamb Chettinad, a South Indian-style curry of whole spices and red chilli, as the dish it is best known for.
On the menu: paneer tikka is fresh Indian cheese marinated in yoghurt and spice and cooked in the tandoor, so the cubes char at the edges and stay soft inside. The website lists dishes without prices, so check the menu when you book or order.

How we checked
On 1 October 2026 we read each venue’s own website or online ordering menu and copied every item and price exactly as printed. Priya’s prices come from the menu pages of its own ordering site; Aangan’s from the Point Cook takeaway menu linked from aangan.com.au; Dosa Hut’s from its Point Cook menu page. Kesari’s ordering site shows prices only inside its ordering app, and Pint Size’s website lists dishes without prices, so neither has a price here. We confirmed each address at a second, independent source: the Australian Good Food Guide, Localsearch or the Point Cook Victoria business directory. Population, birthplace, ancestry and language figures are from the ABS 2021 Census QuickStats for Point Cook. Online 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.
