What really stood out about Indian Ocean was the atmosphere! The restaurant had beautiful decor and great, lively music. The dining area was well organised so nobody felt like they were talking over anybody else’s conversation, despite it being a quiet service night. The food was delicious. I had the malai kofta — which took quite some time to decide on amongst all the other delicious looking vegetarian options — and it was one of the best I’ve had. The samosas were also really nice. Great service too. The staff checked on our table several times to ensure we had everything we needed. I appreciated that the waiter offered to package up our food for takeaway without us having to ask. The location is very nice, right near the sea in Ferrymead. Looking forward to returning and trying their other curries!
We dropped in here because of the GrabOne special they were offering at the time. It’s a small restaurant with eyecatching and interesting decor– including tigers and a disco ball above the counter.The staff were friendly and making the initial booking for the table was easy and no fuss; this pretty much goes for the service in general. The food was great with plenty of curry options– there are lots of vegetarian options too, which is particularly nice to see.The samosas we ordered were crispy and massive, piping hot, and my chicken korma was lovely; just the right amount of coconut. In particular I loved the size and freshness of the naan. Definitely good value and quantity for money.Indian Ocean is a pleasant wee restaurant I would be happy to visit again, the only thing that would hold me back is its location in Ferrymead.
I ate here with friends last Saturday and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The Naan breads are huge and the curry I had was tasty. Very nice!
Very disappointing! We used to eat here every week when was owned by past owners. The new chefs are no where near as good as the past and was very disappointed in the quality of our meal. When you order meat in your currie you are actually wanting meat not just a couple of bits floating in sauce. Nann was huge however main meal a real disappointment. Will definitely be making the trip to Sumner to the quality we no and love
I’ve eaten here a few times over the last year and it’s just OK. The decor in the restaurant is nice and the service is alright but the food is disappointing. Entrees are fine although the chicken tikka and lamb tasted as though it might have been precooked and reheated. Not a lot of meat in the curries and the sauces are a bit mediocre. Our naan bread was only just cooked, very pale and a bit doughy. There are much nicer Indian restaurants in Christchurch. We probably won’t give this place another try.
Best Indian ive had in NZ- the sauces were authentic and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere and paintings etc made it a great dine in experience. Same price as you pay for some of these ‘franchise’ Indian meals in malls but 10 times better!
Delicious food. Very fragrant and obviously made properly. Really weird bathroom fittings – you’ve gotta see them ;-). Our main mistake was ordering too much – steer clear of the tasting platter if you actually want to eat a main. Such a nice change to have Indian food with a bit of flavour instead of what usually passes for Indian in this town.
