Curry Pot Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Wellington

ONE OF THE BEST INDIAN RESTAURANTS IN NEW ZEALAND. The Curry Pot is excellent. Every dish on the menu is delicious and made fresh to order. Not many Indian restaurants in New Zealand offer South Indian food but The Curry Pot makes some of the best South Indian food - full stop. Try the masala dosa for a start. Uttapam and vada are also on offer and these are quintessentially South Indian. Ask the staff about the difference between North Indian and South Indian dishes. The Curry Pot lunch specials are amazing value for money. You may wish to start with an appetizer such as aloo paratah followed by a main of masala dosa and gulab jamun for desert. The Curry Pot is a byo alcohol restaurant but also offers tap beer and a variety of juices and lassis. The staff and chefs are professional, polite and very helpful. The Curry Pot always delivers highest quality and it's a pleasure to dine at this...

The naan were not drenched in oil which I have also seen at other places, the portion was on the smaller side which I do not mind because of the price, and the rice was nice and fluffy, so I would probably give this...

The best value Indian in Newtown, and to top it off, their curries are up there with anyone else in the area. What's "best" depends on individual taste, as each restaurant has a slightly different variation, so I won't say one restaurant is better than the other, but all the curries at the Curry Pot are fine. Be adventurous and skip the boring butter chicken. Their Dosa is the best value in town, it's thin and crispy paper-dosa style. I find they do dosa better when there isn't a large group dining there at the time. Their lunch menu is unbeatable value. As a suggestion, you can ask them to leave out the oil/butter from the naan bread; I find it's nicer plain (and...
