Indian restaurant in central Queenstown with dishes from chefs across India — venison rogan josh, salmon moilee, Bengali fish curry and palak paneer.
The Taj Indian Kitchen sits on Beach Street in the middle of Queenstown, a short walk from the lakefront. The room is mosaic-tiled with partitioned booths, and there are mountain views from the windows.
The chefs come from different parts of India and the menu reflects that rather than settling on one region. For meat there is lamb shabnami kofta, venison rogan josh, and a creamy chicken and cashew curry. Seafood runs to salmon moilee and a Bengali fish curry sharp with mustard. Vegetarians are properly looked after - palak paneer, bharwan mushroom and a rotation of dals - and the wine list is New Zealand.
Open seven days, midday to 3pm and 6pm to 10pm. A 15% surcharge applies on public holidays. Tables can be booked or food ordered online through the restaurant's own site.
