Bays Curry Cottage

Village special

28 Rimu Street
Rona Bay, Eastbourne
Wellington 6008
New Zealand
+64 4 562 0102

This plain jane serves up spicy specialities to the locals from its central location in the Eastbourne Village. Great for an inexpensive early evening meal following the long walk to Pencarrow Heads or Butterfly Creek.

Bengal Tiger

One of the originals 98-104 Victoria Street
Wellington 6001
New Zealand
+64 4 472 8706 This was the first tandoori restaurant in New Zealand (established in 1980) and remains a good choice for a classic Indian meal. It is small and sports an elegant, somewhat masculine, grey and black colour scheme - a pleasant change from the everywhere yellow of many other Wellington establishments. A wide range of traditional meat meals, such as Chilli Chicken and Lamb Suhi Korma, are offered and there is a good range of vegetarian dishes. The lunch time special of curry, naan and rice is hard to beat.

Bombay Cafe

Purple paradise in Petone Corner of Queen & Jackson Streets
Petone
Wellington 6008
New Zealand
+64 4 568 5226 This restaurant consistently dishes up delightful subcontinental favourites. The colourful decor--purple walls, decorated lampshades, Indian material-draped ceilings - sets the scene for an interesting night out with friends or family. Chicken, lamb and beef dishes are the order of the day though there are also vegetarian specials and the essential tandoori breads and curry condiments. Indian Kingfisher beer is available or try a Gisborne Gewurztraminer as an ideal accompaniment. Special three-course meals available Monday to Thursday.

There are also banquet menus that have a little of practically everything.

Tulsi

Contemporary and soothing 135 Cuba Street
Cuba Mall
