Indian Ocean

We eat Indian food most weeks but this was something even more special as my family fussy and they all loved the food. Only little comment food could have been bit hotter in temperature not flavour so next time we go I would say this
Highly recommend

The food was delicious ! We shared bhajis and dumplings for starters and then had the pasanda, handi and biryani with the gorgeous chill and cheese naan.
The service was good too so definitely a place we would go back to.

The best Indian food we have had anywhere in NZ. Lovely authentic Indian decor and super friendly staff. The curries are light and flavorful with the meat so tender. The mains were light and fluffy. A lovely dinner with two of our sons. We are visitors from the Hawkes Bay. Highly recommend.

Great food. Large portions. Lovely setting. Attentive service. Perhaps the best Indian restaurant experience I’ve ever had. Great stuff!

Just great.

Good food and good service

Never fails to please

Excellent meal. Good selection of mains and starters. Attentive service. Ambient surroundings. Look forward to return visit.

Fantastic meal. We opted for the banquet. Nice to have option of having 3 smaller portions of curries. Lovely starters as well.

Dined here with a friend on Tuesday evening and had a most enjoyable meal and evening out. Could only fit an entrée and main and naan between us. Service was excellent and would recommend this venue to anyone and will go back again.

This was not a standard Indian dinner experience - it was much better!
Tastefully decorated with quiet but audible music, this was a place to linger over the delicious food and a glass of wine. We enjoy Indian food and have it relatively often but this was different and it was definitely the best garlic naan we have had in a long time.
Friendly, prompt service and fantastic flavoured, well cooked food made this ordinary Tuesday evening an extraordinary one :-)
We will definitely return to this quiet restaurant - oh, and that must be the best tap in the toilets!!

Excellent food and service at India ocean

Thoroughly recommend dinning at Indian Ocean.
Great service and outstanding food.

Great food and service, fast, friendly and yummy

We ordered the grilled platter for an entree - the tandoori chicken, lamb kebab and chicken tikka was great however the bhaji seemed to be undercooked on the inside. we then order the chicken biryani (fantastic), butter shrimp extra mild for the kids (great) and palak paneer (very bland and ordered medium hot but had no spice). the nan was great

Great food and service. A little gem in ferrymead

Delicious food with outstanding customer service. We will definitely be returning.

Had a fantastic evening both the service and food was excellent.

Nice food.

We ordered the lamb pasanda, lamb korma and tandoori mushroom. We would have liked The curries a little more spicy as we asked for medium. The starter was tasty though. We were waiting a little while to be served but the food came out quickly!

Really lovely meal. Great service. Small and intimate environment

So I read the amazing reviews everyone else had left and its safe to say its all TRUE!! it was a beautiful tasty, flavour sensation meal, we got the banquet and tasted some of the yummiest dishes we've ever had, the best curries I've ever tasted, the naan was so thick and and fresh, and the deserts were to die for, the level of service was top class, the whole dining experience was like we were in a restaurant in India, I doubt you could get a more authentic Indian experience than this restaurant, my husband is extremely picky and yet this place ticked all the boxes for him, he also said he would of been happy to pay full price! We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for your warm hospitality and quick fast service. I can see why this place is a favourite among everyone that has dined there, top class in our books

An enjoyable night out with an authentic setting and very tasty food.

We were lucky to get a 7pm slot on Saturday night.

The entree of Pan grilled prawns with mixed peppercorns and garlic, served with mint chutney was delicious. We shared one dish between us, and both wished we had ordered one each!

Our mains were Butter Chicken and Chicken Chettinaad. The Butter Chicken was awesome, it was delicious.
The Chicken Chettinaad was a bit too spicy for me, I should have requested Mild rather than Medium spice.
It came with peanut rice and the freshest naan bread I've ever tried! It was freshly made, not prepared earlier, and you could taste the difference with the soft fluffiness and crispness. It's worth the visit for the naan, let alone the yummy curries.
If you're unsure whether to make the trip out to Ferrymead, I would recommend highly that you do.

Wonderful food, great service and lovely atmosphere. We will be back! Thanks.

Really impressed!! Gorgeous setting and very prompt, caring service. The food was great too, rich flavourful curries and the naan bread was the best we’ve ever had!! Definitely worth getting the garlic cheese. Now consider this our new local

The food was mind blowing... Really enjoyed. Unfortunately my 7 month old baby girl was not very settled therefore we could not finish our meal however the staff were very generous and friendly and offered to pack our left overs to bring home. I highly recommend this place where no one would ever regrect after their visit.

Great food and service as usual. Out favourite Indian restaurant. we will be back (of course)

Took the family to this great little restaurant last night the food was fantastic the service was excellent we will definitely be going back.

Great atmosphere, good service, friendly warm and inviting and the food is fantastic.

Always love the food and service here - had the lamb shank for the first time and it was delicious. Will definitely be back!

Loved it especially the later booking time, the food was superb as was the service ,would definitely return

Very good Indian food. Awesome Ambience.
Kebab platers are excellent - definitely try them.
Had Biriyani, Goat Handi, Chicken Chettinadu - Everything was so tasty!!

Did not have much hope as we was only look for whatever can be available on first table until 5pm on the day. However the result was amazing, like the menu got something different than other Indian place. Definitely recommend to family and friends. And for sure will revisit again soon.

We had a lovely time at Indian Ocean. The staff were very accommodating, friendly and helpful. The food was lovely and good value for money!

Fantastic fresh tasting food and outstanding service. Highly recommend!

Best Indian food in Christchurch, we took our 3 year old there with us they were so kind and accommodating to him. We come here all the time and will continue to return. Thank you for such good food and service.

The food was delicious. Seriously so good! Still dreaming about that garlic naan.. Great atmosphere and wonderful staff. Definitely recommend this gem.

Very nice food and great service, will definitely be returning!

Lovely dining experience

Excellent food, ambience, service. Highly recommend a visit (or two) We go as often as we can. Extremely good value for money, even when 1st table isn't available.

We chose this restaurant because it advertised vegan friendly, and we where amazed when they had a separate vegan menu.

The food was brought to us very quickly and the vegetable Korma and Aloo Gobi was some of the best found in Christchurch.

I will be looking forward to revisiting next time I am in Ferrymead!

Great ambience!!! Especially the music. It was so calming that it could take you to the another world. Food was good not exceptional. Service was fast and diligent. Definitely worth a visit.

Best Indian Food in Christchurch! Fresh, service good, Generous portions. Tasty. Naan champions.

4th time I've been to this restaurant and as always, it was brilliant.
The food is sooo dayum delicious, great service, wine to match, warm, friendly.
Love this restaurant.
