Hawthorne
PROFILED BY DE GROOTS MEDIA
The restaurant was originally situated at 611 Glenferrie Road. It soon started getting recognition as a local favourite for "that touch of spice". Araliya has now moved to a more spacious location at 629 Glenferrie Road. It now operates as a wine bar, cafe and restaurant.
Araliya is open from 11am with a selection of boutique wines chosen by reputable wine makers and wine judges who are long time customers of the restaurant.
The new location is able to cater for more people. A small function room is available which can seat up to 20 people comfortably. It can cater for daytime or evening office functions and wine club dinners (special corkage applies). The bar can be booked for drinks and cocktail parties with canapes and finger food supplied. You may book the function room for up to 150 people for a larger event. You can also order cakes for 21st's, engagements, and weddings made to your specifications by our pastry chef, Ai Kosugi.
Vegetables are a focal point at Araliya. We have up to six vegetables every day cooked in various styles you can feast on. Examples: assorted beans with cashew nuts, pumpkin with ground mustard, grated cauliflower pan fried with shredded coconut, twice cooked eggplant with dates, beetroot with curry leaves, pepper fried okra and more or cleanse your stomach with a beautiful herb salad.
