Chimney Indian Restaurant

Welcome to Chimney Indian Restaurant, where the tastes of India billow out as boldly and warmly as smoke from a Rotorua geothermal vent.

Inside, the allure of traditional Indian décor interweaves with a subtle Kiwi touch, creating a cosy ambience that whispers of stories from far-off lands. The soft glow of lanterns and the playful murals adorning the walls promise an experience as colourful and enticing as India herself.

The menu at Chimney serves up a smorgasbord of flavours that captivates the senses and comforts the soul. Start with some onion bhaji, then picture the Paneer Tikka Masala, delicate cubes of paneer cooked with yoghurt, cream and spices– a treat that teases and tantalises the palate with every bite and perfect for vegetarians. A sweet go-to is the mango chicken, made with cream, spices and mango sauce, or try the lamb khumbi, a curry with diced lamb and mushroom cooked with onion gravy, garlic and a touch of cream patiently simmered to perfection. Pair it with a fluffy naan, and you've got a match made in culinary heaven.

So, whether you're a curry connoisseur or an Indian cuisine novice, let Chimney guide you on a delicious journey through India, right from the heart of Rotorua. No passport is required, just bring your appetite!
