Hi there,
I’m a big fan of the Indian Cafe, but tonight 2 of our 3 takeaways were none too flash and even the rice was pretty suspect (it came in blocks, hopefully not reheated). The Goan fish was perfect but the lamb korma and chicken jalfrezi were a long way off your best (the jalfrezi was pretty sour). Just thought you should know �

The best Indian food in Nelson. We have been regular customers before the Richmond and Stoke restaurants opened. It’s great to have the same quality food and service in Stoke.

Thanks so much for such great tasty meals.

We highly recommend this Indian Restaurant.

The homely setting, warm & friendly atmosphere has us returning time & again. From the kitchen through to the front of house, service is personal, prompt & attentive. The food is just the best Indian this side of India & affordable!! Love the diverse crowd, from suits to young families. Great value!

“As close to eating in India as you can get.”

I have been lucky enough to travel the world! I spend a few months in India in 2016 and for a man that loves Indian food, it's hard to find any restaurant outside of India that passes the taste test. Upon arriving in Nelson I stumbled across The Indian Cafe and I can honestly say this is as close as you're going to get to eating Indian food outside of India. By far the best food I have had in 2017.
