From the bustling streets of Punjab to the breezy shores of the Mornington Peninsula, Indian Villa is more than a restaurant. It’s a story of two friends, Harry and Amid, who brought with them not only their culinary skill but also the spirit of hospitality deeply woven into Indian culture. With two restaurants — one in Dromana and one in Rye — they’ve created places where heritage, flavour, and community come together in every shared meal.

For the past few years, whenever we’ve travelled the long sweep of Point Nepean Road — which is often — one little shopfront has always hummed out to us. A flicker of light, a kind of beacon in the sea. Blink and you’ll miss it — a dark corner store wedged between Rosebud, Capel Sound and Rye — but once you’ve noticed it, you can’t unsee it.
