About the Business

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly regarded and long-established Indian restaurant located on one of Elsternwick's busiest and most tightly held main roads. This prime position enjoys constant foot traffic, strong local patronage, excellent visibility, and easy access from surrounding high-income suburbs including Brighton, St Kilda East, Caulfield, Ripponlea, and Glen Huntly.

Elsternwick is renowned for its vibrant dining scene, affluent residential catchment, and proximity to major transport links, schools, and lifestyle hubs. Restaurants in this precinct benefit from loyal repeat customers as well as destination diners, making it one of Melbourne's most reliable hospitality suburbs.

The venue boasts an exceptional, high-quality fit-out with a welcoming ambience, open-plan kitchen, and extensive seating capacity, perfectly suited to busy dinner service and group dining. The layout is practical, efficient, and visually impressive - a genuine turnkey operation with no capital expenditure required.

Currently operating as an iconic Indian restaurant, the business has built a strong reputation and following over time. Weekly dinner sales exceed $10,000, generated through a combination of:

Strong dine-in trade
Established delivery platform partnerships
Consistent takeaway demand
Trading 7 nights per week, there is clear and immediate upside for a new owner to expand into lunch or daytime trade, capitalising on the location and surrounding commercial and residential activity.

A full liquor licence is in place, enhancing profitability and customer appeal. Importantly, the venue offers the flexibility to change cuisine or rebrand if desired, making it suitable for a wide range of food concepts beyond Indian cuisine.

The business is supported by an outstanding rental arrangement, rarely found for a main road restaurant of this calibre, size, and location - a key advantage in today's hospitality market.

This opportunity will suit:

Experienced restaurateurs
Buyers seeking a proven Indian dining venue
Operators wanting a flagship Elsternwick location
Hospitality groups or chefs looking to introduce a new concept
Premium restaurants in Elsternwick with strong sales, liquor licences, and excellent leases are extremely tightly held. Genuine buyers are encouraged to enquire early.
