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.

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.
