Menu Highlights

Stewart Island Tandoori Salmon

Hailing from Big Glory Bay. Smoked over charcoal with a light but subtle rub to really do justice to the produce.

Original Butter Chicken

Rich, creamy, and unforgettable—a 31 year old secret recipe that defines perfection.

House Black Dhal

Creamy black lentils, slow-cooked to perfection—a vegetarian favourite worthy of its “House Dhal” title.

Murgh Chicken Tikka

Tender chicken thighs marinated in spiced yogurt, grilled to perfection—a boneless tandoori classic.

Lamb Seekh Kebabs

Spiced, flavoured lamb kebabs paired with refreshing mint-yogurt coriander sauce.

Chicken Shah Jahan

Inspired by the Nishka-e-Shajahani, this mildly flavourful royal dish features ground cashews, paneer, and coriander—a true culinary treasure.

Punjabi Saag Gosht

Slow-cooked lamb with spinach, cumin, coriander, and bold spices—fragrant, rich, and irresistible.

Our Billy Goat Curry

Slow-cooked with bold spices, this dish is a flavour-packed adventure—earthy, spicy, and utterly satisfying.
