Great authentic Indian cooking, I must goto place when visiting Wanaka, the decor is pleasant and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
I had the chicken jalfrezi, the chicken was moist and the vegatables where fresh, cooked but crisp.

They have a truck called "the Buddhas corner" and boy, they have the nicest butter chicken and noodles ever. The guy who manages the truck is the sweetest and nicest soul I have ever come across. He truly loves his customers and his customer service makes the whole company stand out!

The place was all reserved on a Monday. The staff still managed to accomodate us for an early dinner, with warm smiles.
The ambience was pretty basic. Three rows of tables, a covered gas fireplace and a waiting area. The food on the other hand was very close to authentic indian. It makes sense that a cuzine is modified a tad bit to cater to a wider audience palatte. My order consisted of spice room dal, butter chicken, paneer tikka masal, raita, garlic naan and butter roti.

The chicken was moist but was too sweet for my taste. The dal was amazing. Slow cooked to perfection. Thick and buttery. The paneer was very soft and fresh.

Wanaka, you got a gem.
Pricewise: $55 for 2 (without drinks)
Returns: yup

Excellent Indian food. We had paneer kulcha (very good), mixed Sabzi ( very good again), pulav ( not that great). Service was good but I found the place a tad bit expensive.

We ordered veg biriyani here and that came out to be above average. So all those who are looking for vegetarian indian dishes can give it a try.

Had dinner at the spice room in Wanaka during our NZ road trip. We planned on ordering the wild goat curry but it wasn’t available. The waiter informed us that the goat meat they had wasn’t good enough quality. We ordered a lamb and seafood curry instead with naan as sides. We also ordered a bottle of Pinot noir. The food was outstanding and the Otago Region wine which was recommended by the waiter was great too. The service was outstanding! I can only recommend anyone that loves fragrant, delicious Indian to go to the spice room in Wanaka. 💯

Really good food ... quite surprised as didn’t have much hope for a good Indian meal out in Wanaka.

Daal - good
Chicken tikka masala - very good
Lamb chops - very good
Naan - good

Over all food was excellent.... might be a bit on the pricey side.
Would I go again?
Definitely!

Great food, great atmosphere and great service.
Lovely little restaurant in Wanaka that satisfied all our cravings.
We got two mains that were beautifully cooked, full of flavour and just the right temperature.
The restaurant smelt amazingly of the spices they must use and was very clean.
Service was polite, warm and welcoming from the moment we walked through the door to the time we left.
Would definitely recommend and will be back!

Popped over to Wanaka for some Indian, and where better to order takeaways than here. I was surprised to see the entire restaurant full to the brim, and our order was ready in a timely fashion. Maybe it was the high altitude or my unqualified palate, but everything tasted better than normal and we ordered a good selection. If you're looking for Indian in Wanaka then this is your place...

This place is great!! Highly recommend, the Mixed Tandoori Platter and Dhal was fantastic. The Naan bread was equally good. If we had more time we would have REALY indulged!

What a discovery. Incredible food and fantastic service. They have a great kids menu and were great with our three year old, the owner spent time talking to and playing with him. ‘Indian street food’ starter and their special venison curry are delicious. I wish I wasn’t only travelling through so they could be my local.

Enjoyed a lovely meal at this restaurant which is not alongside the mainstream restaurants on the lake front but located somewhere with great parking and lovely decor inside. The service was fabulous with some great cricket banter. The food was incredible and I would have to say the best naan bread I have ever tasted. The owner was very kind and even offered to make wraps for us with the leftover curry and naan. Great value for money also - highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely dinner.

This is by far the best Indian in the South Island. The chefs are incredible, especially chef Rahul, always cater to my dietary requirements and the food is delicious. Everyone is the restaurant is really friendly and nothing was to much.

Super cozy place that have THE BEST VENISON CURRY EVER! if you're in town and want to get something a little on the spicy side, I think this is the place for you. Butter chicken for starters, but I highly recommend their venison curry. You can totally taste how fresh the meat is, and how good of a combination was that venison and the curry. It's like it was alive in my mouth. Anyways, very very delicious!

A great find. Unassuming from the outside but a lovely atmosphere inside. Really friendly service and if you like your curries thick and creamy with lots of meat and veg and flavour this is a great place to visit.
