Shompen Dining Room Overview

Perched along the bustling street of Rathdowne in Melbourne’s bohemian suburb of Fitzroy, you’ll find Shompen Dining Room. Enter from the tree lined street curb to discover a colourful interior of bold geometric murals, dark timber seating, set beneath white table linens and wide front windows, creating a relaxed and warm space to watch the world go by as you dine on flavoursome Indian fare. Head Chef and Owner, Vikram Kotamraju has created a modern and progressive menu, influenced by flavours of his motherland, Europe and Asia. Begin with starters of samosa lyonnaise with mint dip, beet juice and pickled shallot or perhaps chilli soft shell crab, whilst the rack of lamb with cucumber raita and black garlic scented dust or the palak paneer curry make for an impressive main.

Best Known For

Pork Belly with vindaloo gravy, cream of arbi and candied cider crust.
