Our legendary Tandoori Wings have made Indian House famous across Christchurch. Marinated in a secret blend of over 12 spices, then slow-cooked in our authentic clay tandoor oven at extreme heat to achieve the perfect charred exterior and juicy, flavour-packed interior.
Served with our house-made mint chutney and thinly sliced onions — this is a dish you simply cannot miss.
Each dish is a celebration of India's rich culinary heritage, crafted with authentic spices and time-honoured techniques.
