About Us

Our Story & Heritage

Two Rich Culinary Traditions, One Welcoming Table

The journey of Indian Kiwi Kitchen — bridging authentic regional Indian spices, ancestral clay-tandoor fire, and the sun-blessed bounty of New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty coastline.

Daytime Kiwi Café meets Twilight Indian Hearth.

A seamless flow shaped by our coastal town’s natural rhythm — casual morning sustenance evolving into rich dusk banquets.

KIWI & HOSPITALITY

Where India Meets New Zealand
Indian Kiwi Kitchen is all about bringing people together through food. Inspired by the bold flavours and ancestral spice recipes of India and the relaxed, generous dining culture of Aotearoa New Zealand, we created a place where you can enjoy a comforting curry, crispy seafood & chips, a good coffee or a warming cup of chai — all under one roof.
