Chilli Dhaba

Welcome to the Chilli Dhaba, where the spices are hot and the food is hotter! Give your tastebuds a sizzling sensation with the traditional Indian dishes cooked up by their talented kitchen team.

From the highly sought-after tikka masala to the dependable chicken korma, gently simmering in aromatic spices, the main menu is exploding with choice. Try the karahi chicken for a vibrant balance of tomato, capsicum and onion, have a go at the classic saagwala and choose your spiciness with a korma. House specialities are well worth a try, with the South Indian thali offering a little taste of everything – perfect if you just can’t decide!

Don't get us started on their naan breads! Baked fresh daily, and slathered with lots of butter these breads are the very best to soak up all the tikka's and korma's you're devouring. Top of the list is the buttery garlic naan or perhaps tap into your sweet side and nab a piece of the Peshwari – filled with coconut, sultanas and almonds, this is heaven-sent.

The vibe inside unfurls from its open-fronted shopfront dining room out into St Kilda's fun-in-the-sun drinking spot. Vegetarian dishes and a small menu of Punjabi sweets round out the options.
