Tonka – Modern Indian Flavours in a Stunning Laneway Setting

Tonka is a modern Indian restaurant tucked just off Flinders Lane, down one of those classic Melbourne laneways. The space is beautiful without trying too hard, and once it gets darker, the atmosphere really comes together — warm, relaxed, and a bit special.

The food was consistently good. We started with the pani puri, which was fresh, punchy, and really well done. At $6 each, it’s not cheap, but still something I’d recommend trying. The Crystal Bay fried prawn was delicious too — crispy, light, and full of flavour. You only get one, so it’s more of a bite than a starter, but it was a good one.

The scotch fillet was the standout. Perfectly cooked and the bone marrow tadka gave it a deep, rich flavour that really made it feel like something special. The tandoori spatchcock was also great — juicy, well balanced, and felt thoughtfully put together.

We had a few sides too. The black garlic naan was interesting — a bit sweeter than I expected, not super garlicky, but still tasty in its own way. The butter naan and pappadums were simple and solid.

Overall, I’d give the food a strong 4.1 out of 5. It’s flavourful, well-executed, and the menu feels tight and confident. Some of the pricing on smaller items is a bit high, but for the quality and the overall experience, it felt pretty fair.

Service was lovely — friendly, attentive, and made the night feel easy.

An outstanding experience. We went for a celebratory dinner - the team found out and made our experience totally next level - it felt like they genuinely cared about why we were there and went out of their way to help us celebrate.

Of course, the food was delicious. And the wines chosen by the Sommelier matched perfectly. Overall an outstanding dinner. Highly recommend and we will be back.

Booked in for a special occasion and left very pleased (and full!).
Tonka does Indian cuisine with a fantastic modern take and incredible service.
We arrived a little early for our booking but were happily accomodated and seated. Our server, Antonia, was welcoming and helpful, guiding our menu choices to ensure we had a great experience.
The food started arriving promptly and if you've never tried it before, the nduja oyster starters were phenomenal and highly recommended. As were the crispy prawn betel leaves. And fried calamari. In fact, everything we ate was delicious and we'll definitely be back to try the other dishes.

Sensational restaurant. The food, the service and the atmosphere are outstanding. I'd highly recommend trying the butter chicken and the triple cooked potatoes. The food has just enough spice to linger on your tongue but not spicy enough to be unpleasant. Beautiful restaurant that deserves 5 stars.

We have visited half a dozen times over the years however the most recent visit was the best by far. All of the starters were great but the curries were the highlight of the show - prawn curry and vegetarian curry were amazing. Great service and drinks list, certainly worthy of a 5* review.
