Description

Nestled in Arrowtown, this Indian restaurant serves memorable curries, inventive starters and generous vegetarian options amid transportive décor and warm, celebratory ambiance. Friendly staff and standout dishes win high praise, though experiences vary: service can be exceptionally welcoming or slow, and some plates have arrived oily, dry, or inconsistent. Portions are large and the menu offers variety, making it a great spot for groups and special occasions — but temper expectations for speed and uniform quality.

My friend had recently been telling me how good the butter chicken samosas are so I asked him if he could bring one back to christchurch for me, he did and when I took a bite into the samosa I was for filled with the most delicious and flavourful butter chicken paired with the buttery and crispy outside layer, 10/10 samosa best thing I have eaten in a while even a day old. Will be visiting here next time I attend Arrowtown. Wow Mantra, you’ve really outdone yourself. What a samosa.
