Here’s a selection of some of our favourite eats in the Grampians area.

Spirit of Punjab, Halls Gap

A fabulous Indian restaurant in Halls Gap. Some of our favourites include Chicken Tikka, Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken), Gosht Saag Wala (chicken cooked in spinach sauce) and Mango Lassi. If you are looking for a large meat hit, try the Tandoori Mix Platter. Vegetarians and vegans are also well catered for.

They are open 7 nights a week for takeaway and indoor and outdoor dining. If it’s a warm night, opt for outdoors as there are great views over a wetlands area and you might just see kangaroos hopping by.
