Immigration created our fine nation, and it has fed its growth throughout its history. In the past decade, Indian-Australians have experienced more growth than any other nationality, becoming the largest population behind the British and Chinese-Australians. With well over half a million Indians calling the Outback home, their cultural heritage has reinvigorated Melbourne’s cosmopolitan character.
Fortunately for our hungry bellies, Indian restaurants in Carlton swiftly followed Indian migrants to the area. There are now a variety of Indian restaurants available right in the suburb, with dozens more in the nearby CBD or neighborhoods like Fitzroy North.

Like many migrant groups in Australia, immigration to outbreak was severely limited through the 1850s Gold Rush up until Post WW-II. Even in 2000, Indian migration to Australia was a slow trickle, with barely 50,000 citizens residing in the country. However, the new millennium brought a vital infusion of Indian-Australians contributing to a thriving economy and growing Aussie population.
Many Indian restaurants in Carlton have a heartwarming story; family members began cooking their traditional dishes to stick together through hard times and fondly reflect on their ancestral homeland. From these deep roots grows a passion, which is where the delicious subtlety of Indian flavors originates.
