We liked all our dishes, just some more than others. The naan was also tasty. The decor was very cool - murals and artwork that acknowledged the restaurant's Indian heritage while still being unique and modern. The service was warm and friendly. It was slow, but they warned us before we were seated that the food would take a while because they were short staffed (it was New Year's Day, and we were just happy they were open). We felt the food was worth the wait. Overall, a great spot!

The outside colors of this place are purple and yellow which reminded me of the Lakers hahaha. So you know girls.. I'm the type of dude who can decide where to eat. My methods are a bit suspect but I handle the tough stuff. That's usually the bad part of eating out. What the hell do I want?? Thai food can be very hit or miss for me here in NZ but this place did it pretty well! Pad Thai and Tom Yum for me. The Tom Yum wasn't as good as I've had, flavor was weak, not so spicy, but the pork Pad Thai made up for it. Cooked perfectly! I also loved their Thai iced coffee. As far as New Zealand eating goes this place was reasonably priced. I always tell myself, today is the day I order something other than Pad Thai or Red Curry but then my server comes, I open the menu, and awkwardly point to something random and say I'll just get Pad Thai.. Maybe next time lol Street parking. Reservations are accepted but you don't really need one on a weekday. It does fill up on weekends though so plan accordingly. They also do takeout, which is a big vibe on lazy weekends. Is it a top tier Thai spot? No.. But it's local and good enough to come back. But I think I'll try the other spot first so I can compare my options ; )

The locals love it here -- and often recommend it -- plus the owners and workers are outstanding at what they do, therefore I can see why it's well loved. On top of that, the sunset views are a lovely little perk. You'll probably need a reservation for a table even on a weekday but we sat easy enough at the bar for a walk-in and were even offered a table that opened up outside (past sunset and in the cold so we declined). To elaborate upon the aforementioned incorporation of NZ ingredients, I selected the VENISON Panang Curry (38 NZD) as my main dish. Curry not as much depth though it really wasn't needed since the venison really enriched the dish in a profound way. The venison chunks were tender though I wish it were better incorporated into the dish, not just thrown in. I also ordered a puffed roti on the side which was definitely overkill with the side of rice ordered in addition. Quite crispy though a little greasy, making for a HEAVY and rich meal. I may have gone overboard, whops. Regardless, the filling meal was satisfying. It helped that it was easy to park on the street for free. Also a lovely reprieve from Downtown Nelson.

Just barely topping(pun intended) Little Caesars who sits at number 2. I'm joking... Little Caesars is terrible. The only reason I eat Little Caesars pizza is because it's hot and ready, $5 and I'm too hungry to wait for Pizza Hut after work. Best pizza ever is extremely high praise, and it's located in a small-ish town at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. It's called dangerous kitchen and I felt dangerous going inside. It was empty, on a weekend! But me and my friends filled the place up. I tried 5 different types of pizzas and I'm convinced there isn't a bad one on the menu! Our selections in order of likeability: smoked salmon, seafood, margherita, dangerous, and henny penny. You can see the menu for details of what's inside. I took a bite of that salmon pizza, I wanted to cry. But I was at a table full of my friends so I had to stay strong. It was like I was tasting food again for the first time. Perfectly baked. Topping ratio was perfect. This pizza was so good on my way back to home me and the friends riding in my car stopped again to take 2 pizzas home LOL. Dangerous kitchen huh?? This pizza must have drugs in it. I'm addicted. If it wasn't an hour and a half drive I would go every weekend! They do more than just pizza, such as brunch items and a small lunch/dinner menu but c'mon.. You go here to eat pizza! They have a bar and live music at night, fun little vibe. Staff is super friendly, they saved a table for us while the pizza cooked so we could walk around main street. Parking on the street. You can call ahead for takeout. Love this place!!
