About Indian House

SINCE DAY ONE

A Passion for Authentic
Indian Flavours

Indian House was born out of a deep love for the vibrant, diverse culinary traditions of India. Located in the heart of Sydenham, Christchurch, we have become one of the city's most-loved and highest-rated Indian restaurants.

Our journey began with a simple mission — to bring the true flavours of India to New Zealand without compromise. Every recipe is rooted in tradition, every spice blend is crafted by hand, and every dish is prepared with the same love a grandmother would pour into her cooking.

From the smoky perfection of our Tandoor oven to the slow-simmered gravies that have warmed countless hearts, Indian House is more than a restaurant — it is a cultural experience.

"Dedicated to authenticity, we craft flavours that deliver sensational moments with every single bite."
