Royal Indian Takeaway is an Indian restaurant at 262 Hoon Hay Road in Hoon Hay, Christchurch, with a 4.9 rating from 16 Google reviews. Reviewers call this recent arrival their new local, singling out the momos, butter chicken, garlic and cheese naan and the portion sizes.
A good suburban Indian takeaway stands or falls on cooking to order, so ask for the heat you actually want rather than accepting a house default. Momos are a fair test of a kitchen that makes them: the dumplings and their dipping sauce show care or shortcuts in the first bite. Naan waits for no one — it is best within minutes of leaving the pan, so time your pickup around it.
For Hoon Hay households, that makes it a handy stop for a proper curry night close to home.
