Mixed grilled meat platter with shredded vegetables at Arjee Bhajee in Christchurch

Arjee Bhajee gives Riccarton diners a menu that connects Indian curry-house favourites with Nepalese and Indo-Chinese cooking. The restaurant serves both lunch and dinner on Riccarton Road, with pickup available for meals at home. Its range is unusually wide, but the food remains easy to navigate: tandoor starters lead into familiar curries, house specialities and dumpling or noodle dishes with their own distinct spice profiles.

The namesake bhajees are a natural place to begin, combining onion and spinach in crisp fritters served with tamarind chutney. Vegetable samosas, lamb seekh kebab and yoghurt-marinated chicken tikka cover pastry, minced meat and tandoor cooking in turn. For a table that wants to compare several preparations, the non-vegetarian platter brings Afghani chicken drums, tikka and seekh kebab together with salad and dips.

Classic curries include butter chicken, korma, rogan josh, vindaloo and dal, while the specialities move further afield. Gurkhali chicken combines a Nepalese-style curry with capsicum and broccoli; venison and portobello mushroom are cooked balti-style; goat appears with coconut, spinach and cardamom or in masala and vindaloo forms. Prawn saag, palak paneer and vegan makhani ensure that the more distinctive ideas are not confined to meat dishes.

Momo and Indo-Chinese plates give a meal another direction entirely. Dumplings can be steamed or fried, served in a tangy jhol sauce or tossed with onion, capsicum and a sweet, sour and spicy chilli sauce. Chowmein, fried rice and Manchurian dishes sit beside chicken, lamb, goat and vegetable biryani, while a long bread list runs from simple roti and garlic naan to peshawari, paneer and spiced chicken-filled versions.
