About Us

Welcome to a Flavorful Journey Through India – Right Here in Nelson!

At The Indian Café, Bobby and his talented team invite you to experience the vibrant and authentic flavors of Indian cuisine!

Bobby’s journey with The Indian Café began in 2022, as the head chef at the original Bridge Street location in the heart of Nelson. His passion for authentic Indian

cuisine and his talent in preparing high-quality dishes, including some of the best curries in NZ, quickly attracted customers and made the restaurant a local favorite.  In 2007, The Indian Café moved to its current home on Collingwood Street, and the success story continued. The brand's growth saw the addition of two more locations – in Richmond in 2016 and Stoke in 2020.

With over 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Bobby brings an immense wealth of knowledge and a collection of treasured recipes, including some secret ones that make every meal at The Indian Café a memorable experience. His love for Indian cuisine and commitment to quality have been the driving forces behind the restaurant’s success.

At The Indian Café, Bobby’s experienced kitchen team works tirelessly to deliver dishes bursting with flavor, while the friendly front-of-house staff ensures every visit is warm and welcoming. It’s this dedication that has made The Indian Café a beloved dining destination across Nelson.
