Yummy Curry is Karori's local Indian takeaway, tucked on Karori Road and serving the suburb what it proudly calls the best curries in Karori. The kitchen's approach is simple: carefully select only the finest ingredients and cook with authentic flavours, so every curry that leaves the counter is infused with more than just spices — the team talks about care and dedication going into each dish, and about food's power to bring people together and create memories.
The menu covers all the Indian takeaway favourites. Chicken curries lead the way, including a classic Kiwi favourite, Butter Chicken, alongside options like chicken tikka masala and chicken saag aloo. Lamb lovers are looked after too, with a range of lamb curries including Lamb Korma. Fresh naan breads — garlic, butter, and a garlic and cheese version — come hot alongside, ideal for mopping up the last of the sauce.
Ordering is built around convenience. Online ordering is enabled for both pickup and delivery through Easy Eats: you tell them what you want, and each order is manually confirmed by the team directly, so they can get cooking and have it prepared as fast as they can.

Every suburb has its rituals, and in Karori one of them is curry night at Yummy Curry. Open seven days a week from 4:30pm to 10:00pm at 356 Karori Road, this Indian takeaway has built its reputation the slow way — one carefully made curry at a time.
The team at Yummy Curry is upfront about what drives them: a passion for delicious food and authentic flavours. They talk about carefully selecting only the finest ingredients for their dishes, and about each curry being infused with not just spices but also care and dedication. It's a philosophy grounded in a simple belief — that food has the power to bring people together, create memories, and evoke emotions.
That philosophy shows up most clearly in the chicken curry range, which is anchored by a dish that needs little introduction in New Zealand: Butter Chicken. The self-described classic Kiwi favourite is joined by other much-loved options, including chicken tikka masala and chicken saag aloo — both of which earned shout-outs from customers who called their order one of the best curries they've had in Wellington.
Chicken isn't the only story. The lamb curry range is headlined by Lamb Korma, with more lamb curries alongside for those who like to explore. And no curry night is complete without fresh naan bread — Yummy Curry turns out garlic and butter naans, plus a garlic and cheese naan that made it into that same celebrated customer order.
The menu is deliberately built around the favourites, offered at what the shop describes as reasonable prices. It's takeaway food made for real dinners: generous, familiar, and satisfying. Reviewers repeatedly mention the kitchen being very generous with the meat — a detail that matters when you're ordering curry to share.
