Correction (4 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 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This page is short on purpose. We could verify three sit-down Indian restaurants in and around South Yarra, so it lists three rather than pad a longer list. Two are on Toorak Road in South Yarra, and one, Jai Ho, is on Swan Street in Richmond.
Each was checked against two sources on 4 October 2026, and every price is shown beside its dish as printed on the restaurant’s menu page. The one-line dish notes are general knowledge, not the restaurants’ own claims.
