This is a family-owned restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They have a separate vegan menu that is curated beautifully by one of the team members. We chose to sit on the elevated second level and ordered Tarka Daal (yellow split lentils cooked with cumin seeds, ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and turmeric) and Amritsari Chole (chickpeas cooked with ginger, garlic, onions, and tomatoes, finished with freshly ground spices), served with rice and garlic naan bread. Unfortunately, the vegan wine we initially wanted was not available, so we opted for some refreshing bottles of crisp, cold Kingfisher beer instead. Overall, it was a very satisfying dining experience.
There are plenty of choices for appetizers and main dishes at this restaurant. We ordered the pakoras and onion bhaji, both of which were delicious. Personally, I preferred the pakoras along with the okra and chickpeas dishes and dal makani. (However, my husband thinks the dal makani is better at the Porirua Little India.) The okra dish was a bit oily, but incredibly tasty. Overall, the meal was delicious and satisfying.
The food at this restaurant was truly delicious and it was a pleasant surprise to find that the Naan Breads were vegan-friendly. We enjoyed a Dhaal and Aloo Ghobi curry, as well as samosas, onion bhajis, rice, and garlic naan. Unfortunately, they mistakenly brought out a non-vegan dip with the vegan order, but quickly realized the error and offered to remove it. Overall, the experience was great and we would definitely recommend this restaurant. (Review updated on January 29, 2023)
During our travels in New Zealand, we stumbled upon Little India in Palmerston North. After seeing them in Wellington, we decided to drive there for dinner. It was one of the best Indian meals I've had outside of India. We ordered Chole Bhature and Matar Paneer with Tandoori Rotis, and the food was delicious, although we felt the portion size was a bit on the smaller side. The staff was very friendly, making it a great spot for authentic Indian cuisine.
I went to this restaurant with a group of friends after visiting Little India last night. I ordered the chicken korma and naan bread, and it was the best korma I have ever had. The manager was very professional and the service provided by the employees was excellent. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant.
