Decent food, and one of the few places open in Twizel on a Monday night. Fairly expensive for the portions - prices have gone up a lot (look at old menu photos).
Friendly staff (including a very young chap doing his best).
What a wonderful place to eat Indian food. We took a chicken biryani and a butter chicken. Both plates were sooo tasty (and spicy but we love that). The staff is really friendly ! Thank you !!
Four of us ate two nights in a row at Fishtail in Twizel. All of us have been to northern India several times, and two had lived in Nepal for 2+ years as Peace Corps Volunteers. We love Nepali and Indian food, and can be particular as to the quality and genuineness. Fishtail Restaurant in Twizel exceeded our hopes high. H and H, the manager, Hemant, and the rest of the staff were welcoming, friendly, and competent. Highly recommended for great and genuine Nepali/North Indian food.
One of the best Indian Nepalese food I had tasted. The naan was absolutely mouth watering and the other dishes also took me by surprise! Ate there two days in a row.
Very pleasantly surprised to see Indian/Nepalese food in Twizel. The food was delicious, authentic Indian and everything we tried from the chicken biryani to the Garlic naans and Curries were made fresh to order. Also has a bar with wine and spirits. Restroom facilities and
plenty of parking available. Highly recommended.
Food: Unbelievably delicious venison curry. If you are in or around twizel, it’s a “must eat”. I could go on and on about it and it still won’t do justice to how good it was. It fed my soul.
Service: Friendly staff. Amazing service. Other restaurants nearby were already closed and the duty manager and kitchen staff at Fishtail went out of their way to fulfil orders for everyone even though they had to close too. I appreciate you all, Santosh and team! Thank you for a memorable experience :)
had two delicious dinners here a week ago. on the first night we ordered the lamb briyani and the aloo gobi. both dishes were fantastic, especially the briyani which was so flavourful and contained very tender lamb pieces. on the second night we had the palak paneer and the goat curry - both excellent as well and really authentic.
we also really enjoyed the pleasant service from our waiter who was very kind and attentive. he also gave us some travel tips and told us which trails we could try at Mount Cook village.
this is a must visit for anyone stopping by Twizel!
I have to say this is the best Indian food in twizel. Highly recommend
This place is a godsend. We made an impromptu 65 KM drive down from our accommodation in Mt Cook to this restaurant in Twizel after realising there were no viable dinner options in Mt Cook, and this couldn’t have been a better decision.
The food here is so good I could cry. We ordered the butter chicken ($24), the lamb shank ($28), the vegetable jalfrezi ($21), one plain naan ($4) and one cheese and garlic naan ($7) to share between the two of us. As we had just finished two walking trails on Mt Cook and it was also pretty late by the time we arrived, we were starving.
The food was incredible. Every dish was amazing. The lamb shank was cooked so well and fall-off-the bone tasty. The butter chicken was creamy and delicious. The vegetable jalfrezi was, and the naans did the perfect job of soaking up the curries. We even got a serving of basmati rice to go with our curries.
Service here is really good as well. The restaurant team were welcoming and gracious even though they were really busy. This is definitely a restaurant we would recommend to anyone visiting Twizel.
Excellent service, very friendly staff. Well presented place. Busy evening but we felt welcomed and looked after. Food was great, mild curry was definitely very mild so if you want a bit of a kick go for medium!
