Indian Star Express is an Indian takeaway in the food court at Central Mall, 1170 Amohau St, Fordlands, Rotorua, with a Google rating of 3.9.
A good Indian takeaway packs rice and curry separately so nothing goes soggy, and the food arrives hot, well spiced and properly cooked. Indian cooking covers many styles, from creamy northern curries and tandoor-grilled meats to lighter, spicier southern dishes, so it helps to ask staff what is freshest and most popular. If you are choosing a takeaway, look for a menu that goes beyond the best-known dishes and a counter that is busy at mealtimes. Most places will adjust heat on request, so say whether you want mild, medium or hot. Regulars order a mix of rich and lighter dishes to share, and they mention allergies early, as nuts, dairy and gluten are common. Food court outlets can be busiest at lunchtime and on weekends, so a short wait is normal.
For shoppers and locals in Fordlands and around Rotorua, Indian Star Express at Central Mall is a convenient place to pick up Indian food.
