Every curry, every bread, every side is prepared fresh daily. Our spice pastes are ground in-house, our paneer is house-made, and our naans come straight from the tandoor.

Favourites ordered by our Glenfield customers.
Tender chicken in a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce with aromatic spices. Our most popular dish, and for good reason.
Slow-cooked goat in a deeply spiced gravy. A house specialty that keeps customers coming back from across the North Shore.
Aromatic Kashmiri-style lamb curry with a rich blend of whole spices. Tender, flavourful, and unforgettable.
Fragrant basmati rice layered with spiced chicken, saffron, and caramelised onions, cooked the traditional dum pukht way.
A sizzling selection of tandoor-cooked meats marinated in traditional spices. Perfect for sharing.
Freshly baked in our clay tandoor oven, brushed with garlic butter. The perfect companion to any curry.
We went out for dinner as a family and we absolutely loved it! The staff were so lovely. The food was out of this world good, easily the best curry I've ever had. The Lasooni Palak Paneer - highly recommend.

Best Indian food I've had in NZ. Went with a party of 6 and we're still talking about it 4 days later. Outstanding service and divine food - don't go past the garlic prawns.

Fabulous food, fresh and well presented. Some of the best Indian food we have had in 18 years here. Being European we seek excellence and this definitely has it.

Food was delicious, packed with authentic flavour and fresh ingredients. Service was quick and friendly. We were the last table so could tell they wanted to close up, but didn't feel rushed out the door.
