I am echoing the general sentiment in these reviews food is very overpriced. Taste was ok but at these prices and small portion sizes, you really expect much better. $10 per oyster. $15 for a bite sized prawn wrapped in betel leaf. $19 for a piece of chicken tikka (pictured, with about 100g of chicken), it’s obscene that 5 of these cost almost $100, which can get you an entire feed me menu at so many other amazing restaurants in Melbourne. $10 for a bowl of basmati rice I came here for a corporate lunch (i.e. did not choose this restaurant nor pay the bill) and I would never return on my own accord.

Upon entering Tonka the décor welcomes you to an exceptional experience. The food, the wait staff the wines and the décor. Perfect match on all levels. Even the lighting was intimate yet functional.

Thanks to Jenny and Travis for your great service and knowledge

Food was good, tasty and different.... best asset. Cocktails were also of interest. Service was a little robotic going through motions. We over ordered on recommendation and could not experience deserts. Wine list is over the top on many fronts including price.
