We really enjoyed dining here and found the food extremely tasty matched with friendly service.
Started with the Onion Bhaji, was cooked just how we like them, nice and crunchy.
The Lamb Seekh Kebab's really tasty with just the right amount of spice for us.
Shared a Lamb Rogan Josh for main which again, had plenty of taste and med-hot spice level, perfect.
BYO Wine was a bonus, specially been in the Marlborough Wine region :)

Food here is fabulous. Six of us dining. food was very tasty all of us had different dishes. Flavours were all different which doesn't always happen at Indian restaurants. Spice was great (medium for me).Highly recommend.

One of the few places in Blenheim that can cater to vegan/plant-based diets. Ask the friendly staff for options. We ordered the Saag Aloo, Mushroom Mutter Masala and Vegetable Korma (the staff were so accommodating as to substitute the cow cream with coconut cream). All vegan/dairy free and delicious.

What a great place for trying new exciting curries. They have a great selection of dishes with funky new flavors not only for meat lovers but also vegetarians. The guys in the shop are very friendly and thankful for your support.

We ordered a couple of dishes from them on Delivereasy, out of four spiciness levels (not spicy, medium spicy, spicy, Indian spicy) we picked medium spicy, and both dishes were super spicy, like fire. I don't want to imagine how spicy Indian spicy would be... Anyway, I called the restaurant to tell them there must have been a mistake, the man on the phone was super nice and understanding, which explains the five star rating for service. Yet he confirmed our food had indeed been prepared medium spicy. In a nutshell, if you're not Indian, play it safe and order not spicy.

The butter chicken at this place is unreal, I’ve almost never been so sad to have finished my food, could have been a slightly larger portion, but I honestly can’t fault the flavour, absolutely delicious! And the cheese naan, crispy and fresh, the perfect pair. I would definitely eat here again, and I highly recommend!
The server was also friendly, and came back to make sure everything was okay.

This restaurant is a real find. It may look unassuming from the outside, but they know how to cook. Great service, lovely people who care about making great food. The whole family enjoyed it from vegetarians to meat/fish lovers.
