Tucked into Waipukurau, in Hawke’s Bay, Zinc Indian Restaurant blends the warmth of a neighbourhood favourite with the flair of India’s spice markets.
The room is cosy and convivial, equally suited to relaxed midweek suppers or celebratory gatherings. Friendly, efficient service sets an easy rhythm to the evening.
In the kitchen, tradition meets a gentle modern touch. Crisp onion bhaji and vegetable pakoras pave the way for richly layered curries, where butter chicken brings comforting creaminess and lamb rogan josh rewards with depth and spice.
Seafood finds its stride in fish masala and prawn masala, while vegetarians are well looked after with yellow daal and aloo gobi. Fragrant rice and a hearty vegetable biryani anchor the table, inviting generous sharing.
Naan arrives pillowy and perfumed with garlic, while roti comes warm from the griddle. Cooling raita, with a snap of pappadam, adds balance. To finish, mango kulfi and syrup-soaked gulab jamun deliver a sweet, classic finale.
Zinc promises a satisfying, unhurried meal that celebrates India’s culinary heritage in the heart of Hawke’s Bay. A booking is a smart move!
