Banyan Tree Indian Restaurant Moonee Ponds

Moonee Ponds Indian restaurant known for Punjabi butter chicken and Angara biryani.

Warm, bustling dining room with an owner and chefs who greet regulars personally; reviewers describe it as cosy for a couple's date night but loud and hard to hold a conversation when at full capacity.

Owner personally checks in on tables, halal-certified menu, $5 BYO corkage, private function packages including a $65-per-head royal banquet for group celebrations.

Reviewers repeatedly praise the authenticity of the curries and spice blends, with one comparing it favourably to London's Dishoom and another noting it captures the taste of India.

Reviewers consistently call it well-priced for the portion and quality, from everyday curries to the $65pp banquet package, though a couple of Uber Eats orders were flagged for small meat portions relative to price.
