Delicious North Indian Takeaway
Takeout Restaurant
👍👍 Best Indian food we have had at an Indian takeaway in NZ. We were visiting from Nelson for my brothers wedding. We came back for seconds the next night.

Recently I purchased $1300 of timber for a home project & all was available except for 1 item. I suggested they delayed delivery until...
