Wow, food and drinks are all delicious 😍 got a good variety of food, so everyone gets something. Its all halal too which is a huge bonus 🥳 I'm just being greedy but I wish the portions were a bit bigger, otherwise 9/10 will come back for sure

Came here with a friend and got the set meal and was definitely worth the money. Favourite dishes: corn elotes, chargrilled salad, cheesy scallops, and slow cooked brisket. The staff were very kind and helpful throughout the meal!

The Celebration Begins Here

A Birthday Party Where Every Guest Eats Safely

Birthday guest lists rarely have the same dietary needs, which usually means extra menus or awkward substitutions. Onda removes that entirely. Our kitchen is fully gluten-free and Coeliac Australia accredited, so the whole table shares one menu, no exceptions and no separate plates.

Every ingredient and preparation step is independently verified, cutting out cross-contamination risk completely. Whether it’s a milestone birthday or a casual catch-up, everyone at the table eats the same food, safely.

What Makes Onda Different From Other Birthday Venues

A fully gluten-free kitchen, Coeliac Australia accreditation, bold Latin American flavour, and a distinctive setting in Richmond and Fitzroy set Onda apart from a typical Melbourne birthday venue.

A Fully Gluten-Free Birthday Celebration

Every dish served at your birthday party is 100% gluten-free, so guests with dietary restrictions never need to ask what's safe to eat.

Coeliac Australia Accredited

Onda's kitchen holds official Coeliac Australia accreditation, independently verified down to every ingredient, so coeliac guests can relax and enjoy the celebration.

Latin American Cuisine

Bold share plates, handcrafted pisco cocktails, and Latin American flavour bring something different to a birthday menu than the usual venue offering.

  • Cocktail Canapés Stand-up
  • Share Plate Feast Seated
  • Chef's Banquet Signature
  • Cocktails & Beverages All Night
