Kahaani

Kahaani sits on Lygon Street in Carlton, the street synonymous with dining in Melbourne, just north of the CBD. A well-loved Indian restaurant, it brings vibrant, flavour-packed Indian cooking to one of the city's most famous food strips, and has built a strong following for its accomplished, contemporary take on the cuisine.

The appeal is that combination of rich, aromatic Indian flavours and a stylish, welcoming setting in a prime Lygon Street location, ideal for a special dinner, a group meal or a relaxed night out. Standing out on such a renowned dining strip takes a genuinely good offering, and Kahaani has clearly earned its place.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,700 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Lygon Street restaurant fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or planning a night out in Carlton's famous dining quarter.
