Birthday Dinner in Brunswick: Indian Banquets and Cocktails at Bhang

There’s usually one person who makes the birthday dinner happen. They find the restaurant, settle on a date and gently remind everyone that “keen” isn’t quite a booking confirmation.

If that person is you, we can help.

Tucked into a converted warehouse at 1/2A Mitchell Street, just off Sydney Road, Bhang brings together Indian sharing food, cocktails and a relaxed setting for getting your favourite people around a table.

With banquet menus from $45 per person, vegetarian options and plenty to pass around, it’s an easy choice for a birthday dinner in Brunswick. Dress up if you feel like it. Come straight from work if you don’t. The occasion is yours to make.

Familiar Favourites, Something New to Try

Part of the appeal of sharing is that you don’t have to commit your whole evening to one dish.

Butter Chicken might be your starting point. Kori Gassi could be the next thing you try. Vegetarian dishes such as Bharli Vanghi, Gobi Korma and Butter Paneer Masala bring more choice to the table.

Build the meal around your group’s favourites, with room for a little curiosity.

If anyone has allergies or dietary requirements, speak with the team before booking so we can talk through suitable options.

Cocktails With Your Birthday Dinner

The drinks deserve some attention of their own.

Bhang’s cocktail list takes its cues from Indian ingredients and flavours, with the Curry Leaf Margarita, Kheera Masala and Varanasi Negroni among the options. There are also wine, beer and zero-proof drinks.

Order a cocktail while everyone arrives, find a wine for the table or keep things alcohol-free. A good birthday dinner leaves room for everyone to enjoy the evening their own way.

Bring the Birthday Cake

Homemade, picked up from your favourite bakery or chosen entirely for the icing-to-cake ratio: bring it along.

You’re welcome to bring your own birthday cake to Bhang, with no cakeage charge. Mention it when booking so the team can help with that part of the evening.
