Indian Minar — Restaurant in Canterbury

Take your money elsewhere. The manager does not care at all about food quality or customer service. Ordered food, was told it would be 15mins, it took 40mins. I had to return the Onion Baji as it was raw inside, the staff said the manager would be with me in a few minutes.

Outstanding Experience at Indian Minar!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Indian Minar, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The Indo-Chinese food is absolutely delicious — full of flavor and prepared with such care. I especially loved the Chicken Fried Rice and Chicken Manchurian — they were cooked to perfection!

I visited this restaurant while travelling to Dunedin as a stopover. I had lunch at this place and I ordered dal makhani, roti and Mango lassi. I didn’t like the food at all, I felt weird taste in Dal Makhani and no seasoning at all. I waited for the person so that I can tell him the situation , but he never came back at the table and he was so lethargic that he forget my drink and that time it was only 2 tables.
