The Moon Indian Eatery and Bar brings a broad Indian menu to Amohau Street, a central Rotorua address suited to both a seated meal and food to take home. Lunch and dinner service give the restaurant a useful rhythm across the day, while table bookings, pickup and delivery make it adaptable for travellers, local families and groups planning an evening meal. Its range extends well beyond a short list of familiar curries, giving diners several different ways to build a meal.

Street food and tandoor cooking provide two strong places to begin. Chole bhature, pav bhaji and chaat papdi lean into snack-style combinations of bread, legumes, chutneys and spice. Vegetarian starters include soya chaap, paneer tikka, hara bhara kebab, tandoori mushrooms and malai broccoli. From the non-vegetarian side, the clay oven is used for lamb chops, chicken tikka, lamb seekh, fish and prawns, creating a varied platter before the curries arrive.

The main courses travel across several regional styles and levels of richness. Chicken appears in Chettinad, saag, korma, jalfrezi, vindaloo and butter-based preparations, while goat curry and a Lucknow-inspired lamb shank give the meat selection extra depth. Seafood receives its own attention through fish masala, fish moilee and Goan fish curry, as well as prawn dishes built around butter, coconut or green-herb flavours. Vegetable curries and rice dishes allow the table to balance those richer choices.

There is also an Indo-Chinese strand, with chow mein, chilli vegetables or prawns, chicken Manchurian and chicken 65 expanding the menu's texture and spice profile. A large bread list runs from roti and garlic naan to layered paratha, stuffed kulcha and keema naan, so sauces need not stand alone. Children's meals help with family dining, and traditional sweets such as kulfi, gajar halwa and gulab jamun provide a fitting close after the savoury dishes.
