Indian Star is a tandoori restaurant at the lake end of Tutanekai Street on Eat Street, Rotorua, a short walk from the lakefront. Its menu covers the range of Indian cooking, from rich pulao and biryani rice dishes and North Indian kormas to kebabs and tandoori dishes, with handmade wheat breads to go with them. It also serves southern Indian dishes, such as a Goan fish curry with coconut milk and chilli. Guests can eat inside or outside on the alfresco terrace, order from the fully licensed bar, or bring their own wine. Dine-in and delivery are both offered, and the restaurant is a regular choice for group dinners, including a banquet for a group of 30.
Regulars return often and say the food, service and hospitality are the reason, and they like the familiar faces who come back. Bookings and questions go to 07 343 6222. The restaurant's position on Eat Street makes it a natural stop for an evening out in the Rotorua centre.
