A
Two Fat Indians
Closed until further notice.
Drawing backpackers and locals alike, this polished twin-room eatery lives by the tagline 'The art of pint and curry'. The extensive menu pleases both carnivores and vegetarians, and includes palak kofta (spinach dumplings) and a reliable chicken tikka masala, all with matching beer recommendations.

Oh Calcutta
Arguably the country's best Indian (they will argue), Oh Calcutta ventures beyond the familiar butter chicken into exotic and ebullient menu territory. Try the sweet chilli duck, fish tikka (spiced and smoked) or something from the tandoor.

Tulsi
A big, bright and contemporary Indian place with the best butter chicken in Wellington. Ready for a taste test? Choose your spice level from mild, medium, 'Kiwi hot' or 'Indian hot'. Lunch deals are excellent. For more good-value Indian options, head to Allen St, off Courtenay Pl.

Fat Indian
Tucked away down a sneaky cobblestone alleyway, this snug little restaurant is fairly basic, but famous among travellers and locals for its large, good-value vindaloos, kormas and baltis. If you just can't decide, go for the ‘tandoori sampler'. Takeaways available.

IndIan2nite
A million miles from Bollywood schmaltz, this upmarket place won’t break the bank. Behind George St picture windows, northern Indian curries are served by superpolite waiting staff. Try the dahl makhani.

Little India
Part of a consistent nationwide chain, this flavoursome curry house offers the best value on the Strand, especially for lunch specials. Outdoor tables for a hot night and a hot prawn jhalfrezee.

Priya
An explosion of subcontinental Indian spices on temperate West Coast taste buds, this seasoned performer is heavily patronised. There’s chilled Kingfisher beer and a healthy range of vego delights.

Anarkali
Even the most difficult-to-please fans of Indian food rave about Anarkali. Get the sampler dinner to try a bit of everything.
