Tonka isn’t your typical Indian dining spot.

Nestled in one of Melbourne’s iconic laneways, it’s where light, aromatic Indian influences meet modern Australian finesse. From the creators of Coda, Tonka offers a boundary-pushing culinary experience with lightly spiced dishes made with care.

Vibrant flavours, delicate spices, and a sense of rediscovery await at every visit. This unique blend of modern and traditional creates a dining experience that feels both fresh and timeless, offering something truly special for those looking beyond the ordinary.
