welcome to Kahaani on iconic Lygon St.

Interior of a cozy restaurant with wooden tables set with water glasses, menus, and utensils, modern black metal chairs, exposed brick wall, a decorative rug, and warm lighting from chandeliers. A person is near the counter in the back, and there are stairs leading to an upper level.
The exterior of a restaurant with a illuminated sign that reads "KAHANI" in English and Hindi, and the phrase "enjoy Indian!" on the sign. The entrance features a glass door with black framing and white curtains inside.
Meat skewers being cooked on a grill with a stainless steel pot nearby and steam rising from the grill.

Kahaani is located on the iconic Lygon Street in Carlton, right in the heart of Melbourne’s food scene. What makes us different is our unique take on Indian food — we serve regional dishes that you won’t usually find in most Indian restaurants. Each dish is full of flavour and tells its own story.

Our space is modern and relaxed, and we’ve put together a wine list featuring great Australian wines that pair beautifully with our food. At Kahaani, we celebrate real Indian flavours in a way that’s fresh, welcoming, and a little unexpected.
