Indian Restaurants in Altona (2026)
Altona has 3 indian restaurants. Here is every verified option.
#1 Oye Bombay — 23 Harrington Square, Altona
Indian | ★ 4.5/5 (584 reviews) | $$
What makes it great: There are flashier places on Harrington Square. There is nothing more reliable than Oye Bombay. The biryani is the benchmark dish. If a restaurant nails the biryani — the rice, the protein, the seal, the aromatic lift — it can cook anything. If this place were in Fitzroy, there would be a queue. In Altona, you can still walk in.
Rated 4.5 by 584 locals on Google — and the ones who come back do not bother leaving reviews.
What locals say: “From the first bite to the last, this was an absolute masterclass in Indian flavors! 🌟 We started with a Chaat that was a literal explosion of colors and textures—perfectly balance…”
Mid-range pricing that reflects fair value for what comes out of the kitchen.

If a restaurant nails the biryani — the rice, the protein, the seal, the aromatic lift — it can cook anything. This is not destination dining. This is your neighbourhood doing what it should.
328 people have reviewed The Spice Yard on Google. The average sits at 4.5. Earned, not gamed.
What locals say: “I’m not sure how this wonderful restaurant has remained a relative secret, but at least it means I can always get a table. The food never fails to delight and impress, and in my op…”

#1 Akshaya
Indian
What makes it great: Akshaya fills up on weeknights. That is the real test of a restaurant. Spice is not heat. Spice is complexity. This kitchen builds layers — each bite reveals something the last one hid. The kind of restaurant that makes you eat slower because you want it to last.
