What Elem Cristina G doesn't like about Kaikoura Indian:
The staff at this restaurant were incredibly friendly and attentive! They clearly label which menu items can be made vegan. I chose the dal dish, which was delicious, albeit slightly too salty. Overall, it was still a great meal. View all feedback. What User likes about Kaikoura Indian:
The food at this restaurant is delicious and well worth the $19 for the pornstar dish. They also offer the option to make six meals vegan. The service is excellent. View all feedback.
