Ah Indian food, I have missed you! This afternoon we took the doglets to visit some friends, so got takeaways from Little India in Merivale on the way home. I used my iPhone to check their online menu and phoned the … Continue reading On the hunt for decent takeaways – Little India – Merivale
After our amazing meals on our Air New Zealand flight from Auckland to San Francisco earlier this month, I was looking forward to the same on our way home from LAX to Auckland the other night. Oh what a disappointment! … Continue reading Air New Zealand Asian Vegetarian Meals out of LAX

We had important things to discuss, like holidays for 2016, so decided to get takeaways and have a chat over the meal. It was decided that we should get Indian and this time we picked Green Leaf in Bishopdale. … Continue reading On the hunt for decent takeaways – Green Leaf – Bishopdale
Upper Hutt, Wellington – jewel of the north, or maybe not. But what it lacks in entertainment and culture, it makes up for in Indian restaurants. There were about half a dozen that I saw, some doing Chinese or Malay … Continue reading And this week’s dining in Upper Hutt, Wellington
Ever optimistic after our fairly average curry last week, we decided to try the slightly dodgy looking Spice’n’Life in Upper Riccarton (Church Corner). I didn’t personally go, but by all accounts the decor isn’t all that, but on the bright side, the clientele is Indian – a good sign. And this is a good example of not judging by appearances. This was quite frankly some of the best Indian food I have eaten in ages! We had Aloo Gobi and Khadai Paneer – again as per last week, but comparing them was like night and day.

Monday I went to Caribe Latin Kitchen in the pedestrian mall which I’d spotted last week and thought looked interesting. A great mix of Mexican, Brazilian and other South American foods. They have a bunch of vegetarian and gluten free options. … Continue reading Queenstown – and more about food.
So this week in Queenstown for my first dinner on Monday night I picked Bombay Palace. They have locations in Queenstown, Frankton, Wanaka and Invercargill.
