The Indian Kitchen Restaurant and Takeaways

We had lamb biryani and Rogan Josh. Both were excellent. As a biryani hunter I can tell you it’s better than paradise biryani. Both meals had good amount of meat too. We will be back! Keep up the good work.

Had a great dinner great price and worth every time a must go to .

One of the good authentic Indian restaurants in Howick. Loads of veg and meat variety to choose from. My favourite has been Mushroom Saag and Kadahi Chicken. Naans are super soft and freshly made.

Ok so I have not been to the Indian Kitchen for many years. I like my curries hot and just found them to be very bland, as they seemed to just add hot paste to the dish. Probably something to do with the mass production line they were when they sold cheap curries. This evening Monday the wife and I decided to go and give it another try, as our kitchen/dining was put of order.nNothing has changed inside since we were last there but that's the only resemblance. The new owner, since 2020 he told us, was very friendly and made a few suggestions. We ordered drinks and then food. The food came out very quickly and looked really good. I had Chicken Dopiaza Hot and my wife had Chicken Tikka Masala mild to medium, with garlic Naan bread. I started eating and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Chicken was nice and fresh and succulent and the flavors were superb. The heat in both dishes were spot on. The garlic Naan bread was amazing, light and tasty. Overall a really good experience and we will definitely be going again, the food was chalk and cheese v years ago in my opinion and so much better than I remembered, or expecting. Mains were $18.99, Kingfisher beer $8.50 which we thought was very reasonable.

Seriously good food. I’ve had lamb biryani, garlic naan, tandoori chicken and various chicken and lamb curries here and it’s never disappointed. If you want to try authentic Indian food. This is the place. This is a bit of a hidden gem in Howick.
