Incredible India Restaurant and Bar opened in Taupo in 2018, born from a clear and passionate mission: to capture the authentic flavors, colors, and hospitality that define India's exquisite culinary tradition and diverse culture. The restaurant is the brainchild of Abhinav Batta and Jasbeer Singh, two hospitality professionals whose combined expertise and dedication have created something genuine in Taupo's dining scene.
At the heart of the restaurant is Head Chef Jasbeer Singh, who brings over 25 years of culinary experience to the kitchen. His journey began in India in 1998, and after migrating to New Zealand in 2006, he has worked across numerous restaurants in both nations, honing his craft. Jasbeer is passionate about creating incredible dishes using New Zealand's prime ingredients—an approach that elevates traditional Indian food into something truly special. His signature dishes, particularly the Lamb Chops and Chicken Pasanda, have become beloved favourites with all guests.
The philosophy of Incredible India is simple but powerful: to know their patrons, understand their preferences, respect their tastes, and ensure their culinary delight. The restaurant is fully licensed, offering craft beers and beverages to complement the authentic cuisine. Whether you dine in, order for takeaway, or have food delivered, Incredible India brings genuine Indian hospitality to Taupo.
