Temptation Indian Kitchen — Restaurant in South Island

We are from Florida, USA. My wife’s home town is Old Delhi, India and we were super excited to learn that the Chef/Ownwrs were from Old Delhi, the flavors were spot on and the succulence was to die for. Highest recommendation for Chicken Tikka on the tandoor side, the Chicken Biryani and the Goan fish curry as well as the Garloc Naan those were our top choices and you can’t go wrong with these recommendations. The Nawabi Seekh felt like it was ready commercially made. If you have never tasted those you can try it once but it lacked authenticity. Overall my rating will be 9/10. Best wishes guys!

The Mango Chicken was like a sweet/savory/custardy sauce, somewhat subtle but which was really delicious, whereas the Goat/Chicken curry packed a huge amount of flavor in and was fabulous in a totally different way.

We were there quite early, just before 6pm on a Tuesday evening in June and it was fairly quiet, but I can imagine that on a weekend in a busier season you might struggle to...
