The best Indian takeaways cook to order, so calling ahead is a habit worth keeping — a curry needs its time on the stove, and a small kitchen on a Friday night can be run off its feet. Spice is usually negotiable: most kitchens will dial the heat up or down if asked, because "medium" means something different in every one. Curries travel well and often taste even better the next day, while naan is at its best within the hour, so time the drive home accordingly.
For Temuka locals and travellers on the road through South Canterbury, this King Street spot is where a curry night at home begins.
