I came here with my aunts and mum for dinner and really enjoyed it! my house dal was amazing and the atmosphere was amazing, service was good. we had a first table booking for 3 and i tagged along at the end but they tried to charge me for a naan and starter along with my soup. after explaining im gluten intolerant and that all I ate was the soup finally after getting the manager it was resolved

First time customers, very much enjoyed our curries. Staff were very knowledgeable and accomodating of gluten free requirements with many gluten free curry options. Generous glasses of wine also.

We've eaten here several times and will keep coming back. Most of the dishes here have a freshly ground spice flavour, i.e. they have not been overcooked or lazily cooked. The dishes taste authentic. We always have the Daal Makhani as it's particularly good. Last night we tried the Lamb Ra Ra which was excellent. They cater to Gluten free and also dairy free people here. The interior is not very intimate or romantic, but the food and friendly service make up for this, and they've also made some changes recently, which do help give the place a warmer cosier feel.

Food was nice, however the menu is misleading- none of the chicken options are dairy free due to marinating in yoghurt- despite saying dairy free. Explanation of this was also lacking- the only reason our group came is because the menu said dairy free and gluten free options. Other than that food was nice, mild lamb saagwala was nice could have done with more salt. Coeliac friendly, seemed to have lots of options for gluten free. No cocktails for some reason? Again not explained well. Was in at a quiet time service was standard, other than the menu being wrong was okay.

Unfortunately it wasn’t a great experience, I gifted a friend a high tea experience and from the beginning she said things just didn’t go how they should. Their reservation was never recorded so when they arrived they were told there was no such booking, it took 3 attempts for someone to take their Tea order and the Gluten free food was far less then expected. She said the food she received was very nice so that’s a plus it was more around the whole experience. Thank you

Perfect for a catch up with Celiac friends. Great Kemah Naan and Saag Chicken.

Stephen O'Brien

As a coeliac I love this place. Of all the starters and mains only 3 are NOT gluten free. So many restaurants are the opposite. Coeliac aside, the food is delicious. I come to Christchurch infrequently for work but the consistency of the food here is impeccable. And the service is always warm and welcoming. Recommend this place to all. Very reasonably priced as well Eat in or takeaway.....up to you. Either way, enjoy!!!!

Best Indian on this side of town especially the chicken sag. Always friendly staff. Have a gluten allergy and never had an issue here.

Andrew Bennett

Delicious food. Nothing was marked as gluten free on the menu, but almost everything was GF, and safe for celiacs.

Christine Keery

Booked a table at late notice. Restaurant is appropriately decorated and has the most amazing chairs! Service was fast and catered to dietary requirements (both gluten and dairy) Would recommend 100%

Had a nice meal here. My friend is celiac and was able to get a curry that fitted her diet. Very nicely presented and not over priced staff were good as well. Good flavours not fussed on the naan bread.

Claire K

We've eaten here a few times now and every time the food, the service and the ambience has been excellent. The menu has lots of interesting dishes, not just the usual Indian restaurant favourites and their vegan, vegetarian and gluten/dairy free choices are impressive and delicious! The bread is sublime, try the onion kulcha - you'll be glad you did!

Super tasty food! It is also very nice that allergens can be taken into account and that these are also clearly indicated on the map. Very nice for a gluten allergy.

Richard Morrison

Gluten free naan, amazing and delicious.

Kenton Rusbridge

Some of the most boating Indian I’ve ever had. The fish tikka wasn’t. It was just tandoori chicken and the fish amritsari was a fish pakora. Pretty sure the onion barji that the wait staff swore was gluten free isn’t, so pass on these if it counts for you

Jessica Nemeth

Best Indian food in Christchurch. Awesome restaurant with an authentic atmosphere and incredible food. They have an entire vegan menu and tons of gluten free options! Highly recommend!

dan levett

Great dinner and gluten free curries. Will defo visit again

Pravin Patel

I have strict dietary requirements and asked the chef 👨‍🍳 if he can make a gluten-free option ( Missi Roti ) for me. They don’t have it on the menu, but he made it on request and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place for Indian cuisine.
