Desi Vibes

With humble, vegetarian beginnings, Desi Vibes brings an authentic taste of India. A comfortable and cosy food institution in the heart of Palmerston North, it serves classic Indian dishes cooked to perfection.

Start with something traditional like a samosa chaat, paired with a flavoursome dip. Or explore something a little different with pani puri, tasty Indian puff pastry filled with chickpeas, potatoes and vibrant chutney. Desi Vibes also has a range of Indo-Chinese favourites not to be missed. Try the chilli paneer, cooked with bell peppers and onions, and slathered in thick, tantalising sauce.

There is an extensive range of vegetarian mains that will satisfy even the most devoted meat lovers. The dal makhani, a house speciality, features black lentils cooked with tomatoes and spices. Feeling indulgent? The paneer butter masala – soft balls of Indian cottage cheese in silky, buttery gravy – is an irresistible choice.

From freshly baked naans to indulgent butter breads, every dish at Desi Vibes comes alive in a cosy, vibrant setting perfect for sharing with friends and family.
