A group of us from work went for a banquet style dinner. The staff from Indigo made it easy for me to book and choose our menu options. We were given the upstairs lounge where we had great staff and friendly service. The food was amazing from the assorted entrees through to the selection of four mains...although I wasn't quite game enough to try the hot Vindaloo, those who did said it was delicious. Definitely the best Indian I have had. Highly recommend.

Best indian food I ever had. Let's start from the beginning. My friends and I were there to celebrate my friend birthday. I would recommend booking in advance as they have booths and everyone wants privacy. Few things before I forget Indigo has the biggest whiskey collection I have even seen in my life and they have some local brew beer options too. Food was outstanding we ordered chicken 65, chicken tikka, paneer tikka and lamb chops Followed by mains paneer tikka masala, dal bukhara and with assorted bread basket. Great food and superb service. Will be back

Came here on a Saturday. Didn’t know that we had to reserve but the staff were kind enough to accomodate us even thought we were quiet close to their closing time. Hence just to save them the trouble we kept our orders quiet small.
For mains we had the Lamb korma ; Saag beef and Bhuna lamb. Each main course has either tandoori roti , garlic / butter naan and a side of rice.
Friendly reminder : ask for individual servings of rice rather than having it together
The lamb korma was ordered as mild. It had a very nice consistency and the flavours of cashew and saffron was quiet rich and bold. The only negative that was constantly felt was the fact that there was a tinge of sweetness which I personally did not appreciate. The meet was tender and quiet well done. All in all an excellent choice.
The saag beef was comparatively a more consolidated dish and more drier than the other two that was ordered. The essence of spinach and garlic were strong and the meat as usual was excellent. This was ordered in medium spicy and was just about right.
Bhuna lamb was much creamier than it’s counterparts and was my personal favourite out of the three. Since this is my first experience with Bhuna Lamb I would morally not be in a high ground to comment on it and hence would just say that it was quiet good and very much to my liking.
We did try the Ginger beer and the Japanese beer ( had a large title which I can’t remember) which was quiet refreshing as well.

Really yummy food. I had the chana masala which was great but perhaps a few too many chickpeas haha. The second time I had the pea rice with sides of aloo gobi and the lentil curry, such a great way to do it if you want to try more than one! Also the garlic naan is great. Perhaps could look into more eco friendly alternatives to plastic containers? Free and prompt food delivery which is awesome!!

Fantastic, helping staff and awesome food. The vegetarian options wore varied and what we order was outstanding (dhal tadka with vegetable sizzler starter).

It's always hard when you're visiting somewhere new and you're trying to decide where to eat. We walked past and thought it looked nice and so I cheekily asked some outside diners what the food was like and they said they'd been two nights in a row. We managed to get a table without a booking - it was a Sunday night and they were still quite full. I ordered the lasooni prawns (battered and fried) and they were very light and tasty. For my main I had the chicken korma - very tasty though more gravy like than saucy. Good service and we were checked on several times by wait staff.

The best Indian restaurant in Napier city centre. I had malabar prawn curry with steamed rice and a side salad. The portion was quite big and taste was definitely amazing. They also served some free snacks, nice nice!!!

First visit to Napier for a long time. Heard that Indigo was the place to go to so we did! Lovely setting and you do need to book in advance to guarantee a table. We picked a Thursday night so definitely a booking was required. Extensive entrée menu. We went for the mixed meat kebab “served to your table in a Mini Tandoor with Mint Chutney”. Novel idea and did not disappoint. Succulent tender meat and a nice minted accompaniment. For mains I tried the Bhuna chicken and the off sider went with the Lamb Korma. The Bhuna was delicious and the Korma had a slight star anise flavour (I think) making it stand out from the normal fare found at other Indian establishments. Could not fault the meals at all. Again, a good Indian restaurant cooking tender morsels of food. A couple of glasses of wine and a ginger beer all came to just over $90. While the wine list is extensive the only downside is the limited options available “by the glass”. Despite the wine option we would definitely go again when in Napier.

Whiskey- Whiskey- Whiskey…… Oh gosh what a delightful little place this is can’t wait to bring hubby here. although it was quiet on a Wednesday night the service was amazing, welcoming just made me happy and the range of whiskeys is beyond comprehension something like 1200 different bottles different prices just incredible and they sell some really nice bottles for off license I believe, also there is a Spirit menu so you can actually find what you are looking for ( example of one of the pages in photos!) thanks team for your hospitality. It was lovely being a woman on my own and having my nightcap with such great company.

My husband and I had dinner there last night. The food was absolutely delicious and the service team was extremely friendly and attentive.

Just got back from Indigo with friends, food was delicious, service was great. Amazingly, we were the only people in there so atmosphere wasn't buzzing but we had a great time. Even the kids enjoyed it and they can be very fussy eaters. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Ann Cook

OMG - the food was stunning. It is the best Indian meal (and we love Indian food) we have ever eaten. The whole experience was memorable. The service was impeccable. We will definitely be back!

Karen P

Was a lovely meal and service was good. Tables nicely presented but very large. Can be hard to hear the person across the table if it is busy as it was when we went. Huge selection of whiskeys that line a good part of one wall. Big selection of food on the menu also. There are high chairs for those that need. I was very touched that there is an aed defibrillator just outside too.
