I love Indian Sumner, we've been going here probably once a month or every couple of months since we moved to Christchurch 2.5 years ago. We're big foodies and I try and eat vegan, the vegan adn vegetarian options are really good! I'm genuinely surprised about the negative experiences/reviews as we've always found the service and food very good (super friendly and helpful staff) and no complaints re cleanliness. There must be a bad egg within the staff as this isn't normal and we've never experienced bad service or food. Hopefully this has been addressed as I would hate people to be off by these negative reviews, it's a bloody great Indian and good atmosphere. I've even booked it for my birthday on Saturday the 12th Oct.
I have been going to this restaurant since 2 years. Fantastic food in the heart of the Christchurch City Center. Very delicious food and worth for your money. Best customer service and the people over there are really helpful all the time when you were there. One of the best Indian restaurant. It is really worth giving it a try if you like Indian curries.
I have been going here for more than 2 years, both the food and service are extremely good here.
Once we went late night at around 9:30 and the guys over there opened the kitchen just for us.
I don't think this kind of service will be offered anywhere else.
The best Indian restaurant in Christchurch. Always consistent, great service and fabulous food! We eat here every week, the staff no us by name and our favourite dishes are always consistently great. The meat to sauce ratio is perfect and full of flavour. Whether you dine in or takeaway you are guaranteed a great evening
I really don't understand the negative reviews!!!! We are from Glasgow and know a thing or two about curry. Indian Sumner never disappoints. The food is exquisite. Ambiance, service and music all compliment the food. Anyone reading the reviews don't be put off. Go and judge for yourself. There appears to be a common thread to the negative comments that leads me to agree with the other reviewer, it could be the opposition.
Having dined at this delightful restaurant numerous times I cannot understand the 1 star rating, ridiculous, best Indian food I have had...friendly efficient staff. Recommend the mixed platter...superb.Great value for money. Definitely a 5 star rating.
Have eaten here probably a 100 times, is our Sunday evening ritual. We enjoy the food every time and never get tired of it as it is amazing. We spent a month in India and cannot say we found anything better than what is on offer here. The staff passion and enthusiasm for the food and creating a great experience for their customers is second to none.
Great food everytime. Could eat this every day.
The best Indian without a doubt! I am a lover of Indian food and have tried numerous Indian restaurants around Christchurch, but none compare to Indian Sumner, which is probably why it has gained such a loyal local customer base.
I have been to Indian Sumner countless times and the food is always delicious, both entrees and curries. The setting is cosy and authentic, with friendly and attentive staff.
I don't know how this restaurant got a 1-star review, but I am inclined to think that the author is associated with rival restaurant Little India!
Best Indian food I've ever had in NZ. I have been visiting this place for years now, and the food quality and taste haven't changed a bit. Friendly staff and owners, nice ambiance.
The food here is yummy. Chef’s lamb chops and Dal makhni is lip-smacking, perfectly cooked and great value for money. 💙
The food is the best indian food I have ever had, can't wait to go back again. I had dinner with my friend.
The naan breads are light and fluffy unlike the naans at many other indian restaurants in Chch. There is a good selection of other breads too. In terms of the food, my favs were the Malai kofta and Palak panner The restaurant feels very clean and has plenty of seating. Duty Manager was so polite and helpful. Asked her about some dishes and she explained those really well.
Highly recommended.
Thanks
Amazing place, delicious food, friendly staff, good beer...i can highly recomend! Best chicken korma with garlic naan i have ever eat. Thank you for this!
The food here is authentic, the best part is they can customise food according our needs on the top the owner made the experience spectacular by his customer service skills. I will highly recommend this place!!! MUST VISIT, MUST TRY!! Support local :)
Thanks John

This spicy jewel of India is hidden on the Main Street of seaside township of Sumner in Christchurch.
The menu is not large but full of choice, we could of decided between plenty of favorites.
With Sizzling starters at $18 and Mains at $20 you can not go wrong. The meals were full of rich Indian flavors and large enough.
Lots of rice supplied with main courses and the Garlic Naan felt very fresh.
Will be back, and soon to try the rest of the menu. Enjoy, finger licking good ;-)
Warm welcome by the staff...
Good food, awesome ambience and thank you Rohan for great service we have become a loyal customers for Coriander Restaurant 🙌
Delish food, great atmosphere. Best Indian food I’ve had in Christchurch and great location in Sumner. Highly recommend.
