What Does MAGAN Mean? A Taste of HYDERABAD

"Magan" is a word rooted in Urdu and Hindi, meaning bliss, rapture, or being fully immersed in joy. At Magan, we believe this feeling is essential when it comes to dining. Our goal is for you to experience this sense of bliss with every bite and sip at our restaurant.

When you eat or drink at Magan, we want you to feel truly immersed in the flavors, just as we do when we prepare your meal. Magan isn’t just a name—it’s the feeling we aim to create with every dish we serve.

Our Journey: From Hyderabad to Melbourne, Bringing Authentic Hyderabadi Flavors

Around 20 years ago, we, Shabbir and Asra, made the move from Hyderabad to Australia and found our passion in the hospitality industry. Although our background was in finance and accounting, we were drawn back to our roots: cooking the flavors of Hyderabad. Initially, we began catering for the Hyderabadi community while also working with Indian restaurants.

Our big opportunity came when we moved to Beechworth, where we took over and started our own family-run Indian restaurant. We fell in love with the close-knit community, and we made it our mission to serve the people of Beechworth with authentic Indian cuisine. Being involved with local groups like the Salvos and Lions Club was a cherished experience, and we formed lifelong friendships, some of which continue to this day.

However, being far from family led us to make the tough decision to close the restaurant and relocate to Melbourne. Here, we returned to what we love most—cooking. And that’s how Magan was born.

Magan represents everything we love to eat. Our menu celebrates the flavors of Hyderabad, with dishes like Biryani, Dum Ka Chicken, and Chaats. From backyard BBQs to grilling kebabs, we bring a personal touch to Tandoori cooking. Our offerings include modern favorites like Butter Chicken alongside traditional curries such as Pasinde and Dum Ka Chicken—with much more to come!
