Simply Delicious is an Indian takeaway at 644 Springston Rolleston Road in Rolleston, the fast-growing Selwyn town southwest of Christchurch. It holds a perfect five-star Google rating from its five reviews, a small sample but an unblemished one.
A good Indian takeaway is judged as much on the trip home as on the cooking: curries should arrive sealed and glossy, rice packed separately, naan wrapped apart so it keeps some bite instead of steaming soft in the bag. Spice levels deserve a question at the counter, since one kitchen's medium is another's incendiary, and regulars tend to settle on a number and stick with it. Slow-cooked curries are often better the next day, so a generous order rarely goes to waste.
For Rolleston locals after a curry night without the run into Christchurch, this is a handy, well-rated option on the Springston side of town.
