Food scene

Best Indian food in Melbourne! It’s Indian food, where the Indian people eat, so it must be good. Can’t rate this highly enough I’d go for medium spicy butter chicken or chicken korma with a garlic naan.

Great for coffee and delicious NY style bagels with a cool backyard dining area in Barkly Village which sometimes turns into a local migrant night market! Recommend the pastrami mami.

Relaxing place to chill with a wonderful smell of new books and coffee. Great space if you need a place to catch up on emails or do some work, otherwise there’s also the library across the road.

This place is tiny and unassuming but it’s almost always packed and for good reason too! Very close by in Barkly St Village

Probably the best pho in all of Melbourne located in Footscray. Clear, clean broth with low MSG full of flavour without the chest pains.

This is a long-running restaurant for over 20+ years in the Barkly at Village. Can be hit and miss, but when it’s a hit, it’s amazing.

Another decent pho joint with a “Northern Vietnam” special where they stir fry the beef in garlic before dunking it in your bowl to give the soup a unique flavour. Located at Central West shopping centre
