Food was average. Order Chicken saagwala and Paneer Kadhai along with Veggie platter and Fish tikka as entrees. Veggie platter was way too oily. Fish(elephant fish) tikka was tasty. Chicken saagwala bland in taste and Paneer Kadhai had a blood bath( way too much red colour). The only best part was their plain rice which had ghee(clarified butter) added to it. I would not recommend this place again unless you have no choice and are desperate to eat indian food. Service is good and for the fish tikka together I give them 2 stars.
Amazing authentic Indian food. And I’ve eaten a lot of Indian food! The dishes taste just as though they do when you are in India itself. Full of flavour, good serving size, very reasonable prices, lovely outdoor dining (inside looks good too) and lovely staff. I probably won’t be back in Nelson any time soon, but if I was a local I’d support this restaurant with frequent visits.
OK, they warned us that they service might be slow – and it was but it was still very personal. Also the food was pretty good. HOWEVER my wife paid the bill after looking at the till recieipt but didn’t check the eftpos that they processed as it was accepted. Half an hour later we get a calll theatening us with the POLICE. What the….??? They had sig. underbilled us – unknown to us. We are back in town in 2 weeks and said and said that we could pay them then or via Internet banking on Monday i.e. 2 days after we were there – as you cannot internet bank on a Sunday. They said they wanted us to pay. NOW i.e tonight. They threatened US with POLICE who they had already called. Try billing correctly when customers leave – it’s good business practice. You RUINED our night. You owe us for ruining our night and holiday through this stress and crap. Thanks not. We will pay you if and when you apologise to us. You have our contact details.
We are on holiday from South Africa and had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant. Excellent food and service. We were warned about the wait but as all the food is freshly prepared it’s worth the wait. Nan bread is so light not stodgy at all. I loved the old converted house. All in all a great experience, would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves good Indian food.
because this cafe is so busy I can understand why it can take awhile for service,esp fri or sat night. but if you go at any other time its not such a problem. esp lunch time (nelsons best kept secret). it is a busy cafe because the food is divine I have been a regular for years as have loads of others im sure.foods fantastic and generally speaking so is service
Quite simply the best curry I’ve had. In Nelson for work for a night and decided on the takeout option. Seekh Kebab is absolutely amazing, vindaloo does what it says on the box, I can’t stand vindaloo without hit and this definitely has it. I was warned when ordering that it was the hottest menu option and they weren’t wrong. Loved every mouthful! Well done Indian Cafe! Superb!!
Excellent Food, Value and Service – Possibly some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Highly recommend their Mango Chicken and Butter Chicken. Lunchtime platter is also good. Good selection of Naans.Great staff who remember who you are and treat you well.
