Fiji Wala Khana is an Indian takeaway at 75 Adelaide Road in Newtown, Wellington, with a 4.8 Google rating.
A good Indian takeaway stands or falls on curries cooked in small, fresh batches rather than held in a warmer, and on roti or naan made to order. Fijian-Indian cooking — which the name here points to — grew out of the girmit era, when indentured labourers adapted north Indian recipes to their new home; the curries run hotter and more rustic than restaurant fare, with goat curry, dhal and soft roti wraps as staples. Regulars at such places know to ask how hot "hot" really is before committing, and to favour the plain house curries over anything dressed up. Curries travel well, so a takeaway is no compromise — just reheat gently and brighten with a squeeze of lemon.
