"Spent dinner here last night with hubby. ❤️ We ordered half a tandoori chicken platter, 1 butter chicken, and 1 garlic naan to share between us both as well as 2 mango lassi. The food and drink are TOP TIER! Great proportion, we couldn't finish it all. Well worth the price! Staff is incredible. 😁 Amazing work to the cooks & the staff! Keep it up Little India. 🇮🇳"

At Little India, we pride ourselves on crafting curries that are a cut above the rest. Our secret? It’s all in the spices. Unlike the packet sauces from the supermarket, our curries boast complex spice blends that can’t be replicated.

We never take shortcuts. Instead of using store-bought Garam Masala, we honour tradition by making our own blend from our Grandmother's recipe.

The process begins with sourcing the finest whole spices. We then toast them until they release their fragrant aroma, a step that intensifies their flavours. After toasting, we grind these spices to perfection.

At Little India, every bite reflects our dedication to tradition and quality. Taste the difference and enjoy the true essence of Indian cuisine with us.

This means all of our menu is Keto friendly, and will pair well with our Cauliflower rice.

We know that a lot of people follow a low carb or keto diet, so if you are in this camp, you'll be pleased to know that we have heaps of low carb curry options.

Other than our Breads, Vegetable Samosa, Paneer Aloo Tikki, Mali Kofta, Chili Chicken, Chili Paneer and curries that contain potatoes, our whole menu is Keto friendly.

At Little India, we cook the legendary Indian food dishes of North India, The Punjab.

Our family comes from this region, and the recipes we use have come from the kitchen of our Grandmother Premjit Kaur Gill. She trained Little India's head chefs in her own kitchen in Chandigarh.

We pride ourselves on authentic Indian food, with no added sugar or MSG, no thickeners in our sauces, and we use traditional tandoors which have a clay pot and are fired by charcoal.

About Anzac Avenue

When we saw the premises it presented itself as a lovely venue on the ground floor of the Waldorf Celestian Hotel. We liked the location instantly and opened the restaurant on 8 November 2010 and have since served thousands of the hotel guests and locals.

Little India Anzac Avenue is now a hot destination for lunch and dinner amongst office colleagues, locals and tourists. Our restaurant manager Simran started working at the restaurant at a very young age as a part timer, just after she came to New Zealand as a student. She has since worked her way up and now calls herself a smooth operator! Come and check her out serving you and your guests some of the best Indian food outside of India.
