I was travelling around India just 6 weeks ago, and the food at this restaurant rivals the very best cuisine I had on that trip. We arrived very late and the restaurant was empty, but the owner kept the kitchen open for us and insisted we eat in (even though we offered to get take away). We had lamb roganjosh,... More

We were looking for a place to eat and happened across the Shahi Tandoor. The restaurant look busy so we approached, the menu on the window looked great, however on the door was a notice stating the restaurant kitchen had been given a 'D' rating (which is not good), there was an explanation from the owners about this, which seemed...

This is our 'local' restaurant and we were shattered to learn that it had gone from an A rating to D. We had only dined there a week prior and then ordered takeouts for visitors we had staying from Australia. When we got there they had a D prominently displayed on the door. I feel they should have told us... More

We had the lamb korma and mango chicken, which we requested mild--and it was really mild. Should have asked for a little more heat. Beautifully decorated and excellent service.

We ate here twice while we were in Dunedin and both times the food was great and the service polite and prompt. And they even provide steaming hot flannels prior to dinner, just like you we're really in south-easy Asia! The decor was new, lighting subdued and music thematically appropriate. The second time we ate here we arrived a little... More

When we are in the mood for Indian food we usually go to Little India, an Indian chain restaurant with 17 locations around New Zealand. The original is in Dunedin and is reputed to be the best in the chain. We always enjoy our meals at Little India, though sometimes they can overcook the tandoori chicken and lamb, and, thus,... More
