Moksha Dining & Bar

Carlton's elegant Indian-Italian fusion haven. fully vegetarian, with biryani arancini and inventive cocktails.

Moody, romantically-lit fine-dining space on Faraday Street with elegant indoor seating and a charming outdoor courtyard. Decor is described as royal, classy, and sophisticated with subtle Indian artistic touches. A calming, intimate environment that elevates the dining experience beyond its Carlton neighbourhood feel.

100% vegetarian menu with strong vegan options. Italian-Indian fusion dishes not found elsewhere in Melbourne. butter chicken served as a pasta dish, biryani rice crafted into arancini balls. Thoughtfully curated cocktail list with Indian-inspired signatures like the Tamarind Whiskey Sour and Somras. 7-course tasting menu available. Occasional live music on special evenings.

Indian culinary heritage is authentically honoured through spice work, dal preparation, and Nepalese-inspired dishes, then creatively fused with Italian technique. Not trying to be a traditional Indian restaurant. the fusion is intentional and executed at a fine-dining standard.

Mid-range pricing described as high-end experience without hurting the wallet. The 7-course set menu is considered strong value for the quality and presentation. Cocktails add to the bill but are praised as worth it.
