Indigo Napier brings an expansive Indian restaurant and bar to Hastings Street in Napier South. The menu is broad enough for a quiet curry dinner, yet the venue also accommodates celebrations, family gatherings and tailored bookings for roughly 20 to 30 guests. That group focus suits the food: many dishes invite a table to combine crisp starters, charcoal-cooked plates, curries, rice and breads rather than follow one fixed sequence. The result is a restaurant built as much around sharing and choice as around any single signature dish.
Vegetarian starters receive unusual depth. Bhalla papri chaat layers lentil dumplings, yoghurt, crisp wafers, chutney and chickpea-flour noodles, while samosa chaat and aloo tikki chaat find different balances of crunch, chickpeas, mint and tamarind. Onion bhaji and vegetable or paneer pakora cover the fritter side of the menu. Pickling-spice paneer tikka, stuffed tandoori mushrooms and chilli cauliflower add smoke and sharper seasoning, and a mixed platter lets a table sample several preparations together.
The charcoal clay oven shapes the meat and seafood choices. Fish tikka combines turmeric, roasted spices and yoghurt before meeting the heat, and bone-in tandoori chicken is marinated overnight. Afghani chicken takes a creamier route through cashew, cream and yoghurt. Lamb seekh kebab gains richness from cheese folded into the spiced mince, while the chicken kebab platter brings classic tikka, green hariyali and mild malai marinades onto one plate. Each uses the tandoor differently instead of treating smokiness as a single flavour.
Curries move across several regions and textures. Butter chicken and malai korma offer tomato, cream and nuts, whereas Indigo's house balti uses ground and whole spices for a more direct savoury profile. Seafood can arrive in coconut-milk Malabari sauce or an eastern-style mustard gravy. Palak paneer and slow-simmered dal makhani strengthen the vegetarian selection, and dum biryani gives rice a starring role. Wine, beer and cocktails sit alongside lassi, coffee and Indian masala chai, allowing the drinks to follow either a celebratory or alcohol-free meal.
