Haldi

Best Known For

Chef's Special Fish Curry: shallow-fried rockling, tossed with bell pepper and curry leaves, finished with roasted coconut.

Flavour is an art form at Haldi Indian restaurant on Puckle Street in Moonee Ponds. Step into elegant surrounds of olive-green walls, wooden and tiled floors and leather banquette seating, while softly glowing pendents overhead set the mood for romantic evening dining. From a menu of soulful, sensory dishes, Haldi promises an authentic Indian dining experience as you linger over a sumptuous meal at night. Expect dishes crafted from fresh produce and freshly ground spices as evident in starters of chicken vindaloo tikka, red wine vinegar, fenugreek seeds and cassia sticks; before mains of old Madras-style tender beef curry, with fresh coconut, ginger, garlic and lemon, best enjoyed with basmati rice and garlic naan. Finish sweetly with classic gulab jamun, or ras malai cheesecake dumplings.
