Restaurants with Full Details
#1 Shiki — 75 Grimshaw Street, Greensborough
Japanese | Outdoor seating | Takeaway
What makes it great: Shiki treats Japanese like it matters. Because it does. Precision is not a word you throw around in a restaurant review. But there is no other word for what this kitchen does. The kind of restaurant that makes you eat slower because you want it to last.
Hours: Mo-Su 17:30-22:30; We,Th 12:00-15:00,17:30-22:30; Fr,Sa 12:00-15:00,17:30-23:00 | Phone: +61 3 9435 8018 | Website: Shiki
In summer, the courtyard is the whole point. In winter, the inside is better than you expect.

#2 Mehek Indian Restaurant — 8 Main Street, Greensborough
Indian | Takeaway
What makes it great: If Bundoora had a signature restaurant, Mehek Indian Restaurant would be on the shortlist. Spice is not heat. Spice is complexity. This kitchen builds layers — each bite reveals something the last one hid. There is a reason the regulars do not talk about it much. They do not want the wait.
Hours: Mo-Th 17:00-21:30; Fr-Su 17:00-22:00 | Phone: +61 3 9434 5209 | Website: Mehek Indian Restaurant

#3 Eos — 83 Grimshaw Street, Greensborough
Greek
What makes it great: Eos treats Greek like it matters. Because it does. Greek food in Melbourne has a 70-year head start on most cuisines. This kitchen carries that history without being weighed down by it. This is not destination dining. This is your neighbourhood doing what it should.
Hours: Tu-Sa 17:00+; Su 12:00+ | Phone: +61 3 9432 4111 | Website: Eos

#4 Narai Thai — 597 Grimshaw Street, Bundoora
Thai
What makes it great: Narai Thai opened quietly and got loud fast. They make the curry paste in-house. You can tell because the flavour has edges that pre-made paste rounds off. You will not Instagram it. You will remember it.

#5 Big Brother Pizza — 18 Dennison Mall
Pizza
What makes it great: The kitchen at Big Brother Pizza runs on precision and repetition — the same dish, perfect, every time. The dough is everything. Fermentation time, hydration level, oven temperature — get any of them wrong and it is just bread with stuff on it. This place gets them right. The menu changes. The quality does not.
Hours: Mo-Su 11:00-03:00 | Phone: +61 3 9466 7793 | Website: Big Brother Pizza

#6 La Salita Pizza Restaurant and Cafe — 1 Scholar Drive
Italian
What makes it great: La Salita Pizza Restaurant and Cafe is the place Bundoora locals take visitors when they want to show off the neighbourhood. The espresso at the end of the meal is not an afterthought here. Neither is the bread. Add it to your rotation. You will not regret it.

#7 Maney’s Dumpling — 16 McLeans Road
Chinese | Takeaway
What makes it great: There is a reason Maney’s Dumpling has outlasted every trend on McLeans Road. There is no single Chinese cuisine. This kitchen picks a tradition and commits to it. A restaurant that respects the ingredients, respects your time, and respects your wallet.

#8 Kebab Nation — 41 Watsonia Road
Kebab | Outdoor seating
What makes it great: There is a reason Kebab Nation has outlasted every trend on Watsonia Road. The menu reads simply. The food arrives with more thought than the menu suggests. That gap is the mark of a kitchen that cares more about the plate than the description. The test of a restaurant is whether you think about it the next day. Kebab Nation passes.
Phone: +61 3 9435 5535
The outdoor seats are fought over from October to March. Get there early or eat inside.

#9 Aangan — 1191 Plenty Road, Bundoora
Indian
What makes it great: The kitchen at Aangan runs on precision and repetition — the same dish, perfect, every time. 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.

#10 Jun’s Kitchen — 1159 Plenty Road, Bundoora
Chinese
What makes it great: Jun’s Kitchen is not reinventing anything. It is just doing Chinese properly. Dumplings are the test. If the dumplings are good, everything else follows. These are good. It does not try to be everything. It tries to be good at one thing. It succeeds.

#11 Okami — 73 Grimshaw Street, Greensborough
Japanese
What makes it great: Nobody goes to Okami for the decor. They go for a menu that does not need explaining. Precision is not a word you throw around in a restaurant review. But there is no other word for what this kitchen does. A restaurant that respects the ingredients, respects your time, and respects your wallet.

#12 Siriwan Thai Restaurant — 27 Watsonia Road
Thai
What makes it great: What Siriwan Thai Restaurant does well, it does better than anywhere else in Bundoora. The balance between sweet, sour, salty and hot is what separates good Thai from great Thai. This kitchen understands the ratio. The kind of place you recommend without being asked.

#13 Watsonia Pizza — 5 Watsonia Road
Pizza
What makes it great: Watsonia Pizza does not advertise. It does not need to. Margherita is the test. San Marzano tomato, fior di latte, basil, olive oil. Nothing to hide behind. This kitchen does not need to hide. Come once for curiosity. Come back because the food demands it.

#14 The Original Watsonia Fish and Chips — 9 Watsonia Road
Fish_And_Chips
What makes it great: The Original Watsonia Fish and Chips opened quietly and got loud fast. The kitchen here has found its rhythm. The menu is focused, the execution is steady, and the regulars know what they are coming for. The Original Watsonia Fish and Chips does not need a rebrand or a renovation. It needs you to sit down and order.

#15 Anchor Fish and Chips — 39 Watsonia Road
Fish_And_Chips
What makes it great: Anchor Fish and Chips is not reinventing anything. It is just doing Fish_And_Chips properly. What works here works because the kitchen has stopped trying to be clever and started trying to be consistent. There is a reason the regulars do not talk about it much. They do not want the wait.

#16 Professor’s Pizza — 103 Watsonia Road
Pizza
What makes it great: The first thing you notice at Professor’s Pizza is the smell of charcoal and spice hitting you from the kitchen. The dough is everything. Fermentation time, hydration level, oven temperature — get any of them wrong and it is just bread with stuff on it. This place gets them right. Come once for curiosity. Come back because the food demands it.

#18 Tre Bambinis Italian Restaurant
Italian | Takeaway
What makes it great: The first thing you notice at Tre Bambinis Italian Restaurant is the warmth — not just the temperature, but the room itself. The espresso at the end of the meal is not an afterthought here. Neither is the bread. Not the flashiest option in Bundoora. Possibly the best.
Hours: Tu-Th 17:00-22:00; Fr-Sa 17:00-22:30; Su 17:00-22:00 | Phone: +61 3 9469 3330 | Website: Tre Bambinis Italian Restaurant
