Simple-decorated but delicious Indian restaurant in central Rotorua, popular with locals and visitors. Very friendly service complements a tasty menu offering all the classics and few surprises.

The Indian Star Tandoori Restaurant extends the hand of welcome as soon as you set foot inside the bright, neon interior. Smart waiters are straight to your table to offer drinks and menu recommendations including Prawn Pakoras, Cheese Chili, Banquets and several vegetarian options. All dishes have a 'hotness' rating, so you don't have to be an Indian gourmet to make the best choice for your palate.

Prices are very reasonable, and there's a fully-licensed bar as well as a welcome BYO wine policy. The mission of Indian Star Tandoori Restaurant is to send customers away feeling fulfilled, satisfied, and desperate to return. Judging by the amount of locals who call this place their second home, many do just that.
