dinner

“Ours is an ever-evolving story which constantly unfolds as new ingredients and combinations of tastes and flavours are discovered. It is a story of combining the traditional with the new.

Our menu is a little thank you to all those kitchens from across India who were and have been so generous in sharing their secrets with us over the many decades.” Meena Anand

seafood curries

Prawn Malabari Curry 32.5
One of Kerala’s staple dishes. South Indian coastal flavours from the coconut to the curry leaves. The coconut adds a shell-less cutlets and the coconut milk adds the creaminess

This is a knockout dish in terms of taste, smell, buttery, salty, sweet, and tomato, with a hint of freshly squeezed lime to work off one another seamlessly to create perfection

A south Indian dry curry. Made in a spicy tomato masala, almost like a chutney. Tanginess from the lime and the cooling from the coconut.

Let’s start with some boneless chicken then add some garlic, ginger, and spices in the marinade infuse yoghurt. Then finished in a tomato dosed sauce to create this all-time favourite

Original Butter Chicken 32.5
One of the most famous curries in the world. We can comfortably say we are New Zealand’s best. A recipe shared with less than 2 people in the entire country. It’s now become the most guarded recipe for the last 29 years. The sauce is so ridiculously delicious. Eat like a native

A creation created by Meena Anand in 1998. Made from shredded boneless tandoori chicken, together with plenty of onions, capsicum, roasted cumin, garlic water, fenugreek and coriander

Cashew Chicken Korma 32.5
Light and flavourful. A curry made from ground cashews plenty of lightly spiced and cream that's buttery and is completely delicious

Chicken Shah Jahan 35
Our version, is worthy from the direct pages of the Nuskha-e-Shahjahani (a handwritten manuscript that was first thought it was written in the 11 BC). Mild flavour full. Made for Royalty. From the rich ground cashews add some Paneer & coriander. The gold standard from this treasure

Goan Chicken Vindaloo 32.5

An aromatic, bold and flavourful rice dish with crazy tender shreds of tandoori chicken, fragrant by spices and caramelized by onions

Boneless lamb curry with a heady combination of intense spices in a tomato spiced sauce. The lamb is fall-apart tender and packs a serious flavour punch!

A special treasure. Handed down from the Mughal dynasty. Made with coconut and curry leaves to create a mildly spiced dish. Sinfully luxurious!

Punjabi Saag Ghost 32.5

This creamy vegetable curry is the tastiest way to eat your veggies! translates to “nine-gem” curry

Refreshing flavour from the mild bitterness of fenugreek leaves and soft paneer bites in a creamy gently, spiced gravy

House Black Dhal (veg) (vf) 32.5
Food and mood go hand in hand, and this has been proven by chef's time after time. The same goes with Dhal Makhana as well. Just like a non- vegetarian vouches for Butter Chicken, a vegetarian feels the same way about Dhal Makhana. Hence the title of “House Dhal"
