Indigo Indian Restaurant and Bar

The Best! I've been to so many Indian restaurants and this is one of the best! 500 different whiskies before we get to the food. The food was ticking all the boxes. Huge selection. Our vegetarian friends thought they had arrived in heaven with the choice. Great flavors. Generous portion sizes and attentive staff with a great ambiance. Be bold and try the dishes you won't find at a takeaway .

Just had the pleasure of dining in this restaurant. Cannot fault anything . Food was unbelievable. My wifes birthday and wanted something special and boy did this place deliver. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience! The food was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and quality ingredients. Every dish we tried was rich, well-balanced, and authentic, from the aromatic curries to the perfectly cooked rice and freshly baked naan. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for sharing food with friends and family. Service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome without being rushed. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food and a memorable dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Had an amazing experience not just because of food but the customer experience provided by staff Guri, he is a Gem, I strongly feel he is an asset for this business, attention to detail, amazing communication skills to ensure chef understand our needs, its 10/10. Drinks were superb as well, restaurant was neat, clean, we had a our pet baby as well with us and Guri showed empathy and got cold water for him, an out of the box gesture. We had Lamb Tikka, Goat Kolhapuri, Tadka Dal. Thank you

40 of us descended on this fine establishment serving up some of the finest Indian cuisine going around. The service was flawless and the cocktails could not be faulted. Complete win of a place. *note that we booked 40 ppl so pps don’t rock up spontaneously with 39 mates and expect the same experience.

Indian is my favourite food and this is the best I’ve had in years !! The waiter Sabi was so attentive and gave such good service.. He made the best recommendations. Just gutted we live out of town so can’t be back soon enough!!

Authentic Indian food, tasty curries and tandoor dishes. Professional and welcoming staff. Can’t wait to return. Banging wine list.

Whiskey- Whiskey- Whiskey…… Oh gosh what a delightful little place this is can’t wait to bring hubby here. although it was quiet on a Wednesday night the service was amazing, welcoming just made me happy and the range of whiskeys is beyond comprehension something like 1200 different bottles different prices just incredible and they sell some really nice bottles for off license I believe, also there is a Spirit menu so you can actually find what you are looking for ( example of one of the pages in photos!) thanks team for your hospitality. It was lovely being a woman on my own and having my nightcap with such great company.

food, atmosphere and service were all so good. But unfortunately for us, we ordered all out dishes in "kiwi spicy" thinking it was the level above mild... boy were we WRONG! its the level above MEDIUM... it was so spicy i couldn't eat much at all. There was so much heat but i could still vaguely taste everything and it was REALLY good. We started with tandoori chicken and they were SOOOOO soft and tender and flavoursome... We got a fish curry and a goat curry (both were recommendations from online and the waiter) and some nan bread (i was greedy and order the garlic butter and cheese nan bread... lol just stick to the normal one as this one was not authentic anymore). fish curry was a coconut milky base and oh so fragrant... but too spicy so i couldn't have too much.. the goat curry was killer good too. If only the waiter explained the level of spicy to us more clearly we could have enjoyed the meal so much more. born and raised in NZ i always thought we didn't eat that spicy here... apparently not! So bad cheesey garlic nan bread and crazy insane spiciness level took one star off! but definitely recommend guys!!! remember to get MILD if you can't handle.

Indigo is easily Hawke's Bay's best Indian restaurant. The menu and setting are both more upscale than other Indian restaurants in the area (and unfortunately, so is the price--also there is no BYO, which makes it even more expensive). They seem to specialize in goat dishes; I ordered one, but cannot remember its name. It was supposed to be a "healthier" alternative without cream, etc. I knew it was going to be good when I ordered it hot and the server asked "Kiwi or Indian". I asked for right in the middle of the two, and it was indeed very hot. The takeaway menu is more conventional "Kiwi" Indian fare; they deliver at no charge to much of Napier. Indigo, you would have earned 5 stars if you allowed BYO.

Great food and service. And they must have the largest selection of wines and spirits in Hawkes Hay. There is a seperate Whisky menu, pages and pages!

Took my son out for Sunday lunch here. Beautiful food, excellent service. Would happily recommend.

I'm not sure how this place got such high ratings. The ambiance is nice. I ordered Butter Lamb and I ended up with some dish that could have been considered a desert due to all the sugar added. There was absolutely no HEAT. I guess I'm just a spoiled American that's used to spice.

This is the best Indian food I've had in ages. Tons of flavor and beautifully presented. There are great vegetarian options if that's your thing but also plenty of meaty things. Papadums and sauces were complementary as was rice. Vegetarian mains were about $20 and naan $4.50 and up. Excellent service, too.

Best Indian food I have had and our best meal in New Zealand. The Chicken Butter Masala and Garlic Naan Bread were amazing!

Great and attentive staff. Food fresh and great tasting. A good meal to help soak up a day of tasting wine.

This is the best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. The food and the service were fantastic. The Fish Tikka was fresh and superbly cooked. The goat and beef curry were brilliant. Spices were perfect food melted in your mouth. The Aloo Paratha was brilliant fresh ingredients cooked to perfection, not oily. What topped off a perfect meal was the best selection of single malt scotch whiskeys on the North Island. Yes, at an Indian restaurant! Laphroaig 18 year old finished off a perfect night. A must go to restaurant in Napier if you like Indian food. A must go to restaurant if you have never had, don't like Indian food.

Decidedly the best Indian place in the Bay. Elegant, creative dishes, attentive service, and upscale atmosphere. They also deliver, and always arrive sooner than they say they will!
