Haven’t had Indian Ocean since 2015, after I ordered online I read the newest review and 2 minutes before I placed my order someone posted a bad review and I thought to myself “maybe tonight wasn’t a good night for Indian food” I got home, put my food in a dish, and it was absolutely amazing!! Meat was not dry. And there was lots of sauce which is amazing, because I love dipping naan in sauce!!
I’ll certainly come back. Well worth the $60. 10/10!!! Was just as good as it was back in 2015.

Definitely the best mango chicken I've ever had in my life and the mango lassie was perfect too. Staff were great and the restuarant has a real authentic feel to it.

I don’t do usually but I have to do this. We been to Indian Ocean very first time after long time. The service was very friendly -10 out of 10. Harry was the Manager and he was so nice and kind. Food was just amazing. Great presentation 10 out of 10. My wife had Mango lassi which freshly made. Harry came twice at our table to ask everything is alright, are we enjoying food . We will come back again and will let others know too. Great chef , great people, great food. Just loved it. Thank you harry for amazing service and to look after us. You are an asset for the business.

We came here on a Monday for a family dinner, and it was absolutely great. The food was delicious and very affordably priced, and the service was excellent. Everything also came very fast. There is a wide selection of food on the menu, including many vegetarian options.
Greta Pearce
Incredible range of food, authentic and comes out with the heat level as ordered. Very happy customers, thank you so much!

We went over there on occassion of diwali with few friends. The decor was authentic Indian traditional from the heart of rajasthan. Those in nz who love to see it shld be definately be visting once this restuarant. About the food had ordered mushroom tikka for entree. It was a delight because I had a bad experience of having mushroom tikka frm other Indian restaurant. It was so fresh n yummy . Loved it. Naan n malai kofta was prefect. Should try malai kofta if u r a vegetarian n also mushroom tikka. Overall good service with good food.

It was our second visit. First time was hilarious the other customers made us laugh so much. The food and service was just delightful. Loved the décor and atmosphere.second visit was entirely different but also very funny. We got 1 out of 4 dishes right, drinks arrived completely different to what we asked for. The lamb turned into chicken, the naan bread was missing the garlic. the bourbon and coke in a tall glass turned into a beer and bourbon/coke in two tall glasses.....the refill of wine was wanted to be wiped away before I had finished it and returned with a completely different wine.But in saying all that ..... the food we got was good and once again hilarious evening. Small lack of communication between staff and patrons. would we return : YES

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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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!
Nikki Taylor
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 I have tasted in NZ and the UK!! The food is cooked to perfection, generous portions. Great value for money, lovely atmosphere and I love decor. Excellent and always friendly service, we eat here 2 to 3 times a month. What more can I say than that..........mmmm yum!!
Dave T
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!
David
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.
Melva Gill
Absolutely lovely food, very authentic. The staff were incredibly helpful too. Would highly recommend this to everyone!
