If you're looking for halal Indian food in Melbourne, the inner north-west is one of the easiest places to find it. At Banyan Tree Indian Restaurant, 688 Mt Alexander Road in Moonee Ponds, every meat on the menu is halal, so you can order anything from the curry list or the tandoor without asking twice.

What halal means on our menu

Halal meat comes from animals prepared according to Islamic dietary law. At Banyan Tree, all the chicken, lamb, goat and seafood we serve is halal, and we don't run a separate non-halal menu. That makes it simple for families and groups where some guests eat halal and others don't mind: everyone orders from the same menu.

Halal Indian dishes worth trying

Butter chicken – our most popular curry, rich with tomato, butter and cream.
Lamb rogan josh – slow-cooked Kashmiri-style lamb in a warmly spiced gravy.
Goat curry – bone-in goat cooked low and slow until tender.
Chicken tikka, tandoori chicken and lamb seekh kebab – marinated and cooked in our clay tandoor.
Chilli angara chicken – a spicy, smoky favourite with guests.
Dum biryani – chicken, lamb or goat layered with basmati rice and served with raita.
Goan fish curry and prawn masaledar – for seafood lovers.

Vegetarian, vegan and other dietary needs

Not everyone at the table eats meat, so our menu has a full vegetarian section: paneer tikka, palak paneer, malai kofta, dal makhni, dal tadka, vegetable korma and more. Many dishes suit vegan and gluten-free diets, and we can prepare nut-free dishes and take special orders. Please mention any allergies to our team when you book or order.
