Something new is coming to the kitchen at 72 Flinders Street. Coast & Curios is the Curry Queen's contemporary Indian raw bar and lighter fusion menu — modern Indian in Melbourne CBD at its brightest, one block from Flinders Lane.
For diners seeking modern Indian on Flinders Lane, or the standard of a hatted Indian restaurant in Melbourne, it will be a new way into Elchi's kitchen.

A Contemporary Indian Restaurant in Melbourne, Reimagined
Chef Manpreet Sekhon is developing Coast & Curios now — testing coastal produce, raw-bar technique and India's regional spice cabinet until every plate is right. The full menu and launch date will be announced here first.
Until then, the Curry Queen's seasonal menu, the $95 set menu and our Indian-inspired cocktails are served every lunch and dinner service. Prefer to choose your own? Order à la carte from the full menu.

Spice deserves wine chosen with intent. Our list leans into crisp, high-acid Rieslings from the Mosel and the Grampians that cut through chilli and lift citrus; textural whites with the weight to meet coconut and ghee; and light, fruit-forward Victorian Pinot Noirs from the Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula that sit beautifully beside smoke from the tandoor.
It makes Elchi the ultimate setup for an upscale Indian date night in the CBD, or a sharp premium Indian restaurant corporate lunch, Tuesday to Thursday.
