Indian Fusion Restaurant brings three of Asia's great food traditions to Broadway in the heart of Matamata. From one kitchen, the team serves authentic Indian, Malaysian and Indo-Chinese cuisine — a trio that lets you travel from richly spiced Indian dishes to wok-tossed Indo-Chinese flavours and fragrant Malaysian cooking, all in a single sitting. The kitchen is run by a team the restaurant describes as talented and full of experience, working with fresh ingredients and a focus on exceptional service. Dine in for the full restaurant experience, or make the most of modern convenience: order online for takeaway, pickup or delivery and grab yourself a taste of Indian Fusion at home. You'll find them at 54 Broadway, Matamata 3400. Doors are open for lunch from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm and again for dinner from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, Monday and Wednesday through Sunday. Table reservations can be made online, or call 07 888 6886 to get in touch. As they put it themselves, the aim is simple: food that will have you coming back for more.
Indian Fusion Restaurant sits on Broadway, right in the middle of Matamata, and it has built its identity around a simple but uncommon idea: why choose one cuisine when you can cook three? From a single kitchen, the team serves authentic Indian, Malaysian and Indo-Chinese food — three traditions that share a love of spice and generosity, yet each bring something distinctly their own to the table. For a small Waikato town, that breadth of menu is a genuine point of difference.
Indian cooking is the heart of the house — the cuisine the restaurant is named after and the one most New Zealand diners know and love, built on aromatic spices and dishes made to be shared. Alongside it sits Malaysian food, a cuisine shaped by Malay, Chinese and Indian influences and known for layered spice pastes, coconut richness and fresh herbs.
The third string to the bow is Indo-Chinese, the fiery, wok-driven style born in Kolkata's Chinese community that pairs Chinese technique with Indian heat and bold flavour. It's a hybrid cuisine with a devoted following, and one that relatively few New Zealand kitchens attempt. Offering all three under one roof is what gives Indian Fusion its name — and its regulars.
Behind the pass, the restaurant points to a kitchen team with a wealth of experience, backed by fresh ingredients and what it calls exceptional service. Those are the pillars the About page puts alongside the food itself, and they shape the whole experience, whether you're settling in for a leisurely dinner or grabbing a quick takeaway on the way home.
Indian Fusion keeps things flexible. Dine in and enjoy the full restaurant experience at their Broadway location, or — for the nights when eating in wins — order online for takeaway, pickup or delivery. The online ordering system runs through Book N Order, so you can browse the full menu, place your order and track it from kitchen to door.
The same platform doubles as the reservation system: if you'd rather lock in a table for a special occasion or a busy Friday night, you can book one online in advance. It's a straightforward setup designed around how people actually eat — sometimes at a table, sometimes on the couch.
You'll find Indian Fusion at 54 Broadway, Matamata 3400. Opening hours run across two services six days a week: lunch from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm, then a short reset before dinner service from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, Monday and Wednesday through Sunday. Tuesday is the day the kitchen rests — it's the one day missing from their published hours.
That gap between lunch and dinner matters if you're timing a visit: arrive in the 3:00 to 4:00 pm window and you'll catch the kitchen mid-changeover. Plan around it and you'll be rewarded either way — a long lunch or an early dinner table.
To get in touch, call 07 888 6886, send a message through the website's contact page, or reach the team via their Facebook page. For everything else — menus, orders and bookings — the online portal is the fastest route.
Whether you're a Matamata local after a reliable weeknight curry, a household ordering delivery, or a traveller passing through town looking for something beyond the usual, Indian Fusion covers a lot of ground from one kitchen. As the restaurant itself puts it, the goal is food and service that will have you 'coming back for more' — three cuisines deep, there's plenty to come back for.
