Spiced fried bites with salad garnish at Chimney Indian Restaurant in Rotorua

Chimney Indian Restaurant gathers several strands of Indian cooking at its Eruera Street dining room rather than narrowing the menu to one regional style. North Indian curries and tandoori food sit beside South Indian seafood dishes, while a separate Indo-Chinese influence creates another set of flavours and textures. The restaurant serves both lunch and dinner from Tuesday through Sunday, which makes it suitable for a midday meal as well as a longer evening visit. Dine-in service is complemented by online ordering, takeaway and local home delivery, so the same broad kitchen is accessible in several formats.

The opening part of the menu moves from recognisable fried snacks to food from the tandoor. Samosa and onion bhaji offer crisp, savoury starting points, while kebabs and other tandoori dishes bring the direct heat and roast character of the oven. Indo-Chinese choices provide a useful contrast for a table that wants to share across styles rather than following one sequence of curry and rice. This breadth is especially practical for groups: diners can build a meal from several smaller dishes before deciding whether to continue with seafood, meat or vegetarian mains.

Curries show the menu's regional spread most clearly. Butter chicken and korma provide familiar, rounded sauces, while the southern selection draws on seafood, chilli, ground spices and coconut milk. Goan fish curry and Prawns Malabari are the restaurant's clearest examples of that coastal direction. The choice is not limited to curry, either; pulao and biryani turn fragrant rice into a complete centrepiece and give diners an alternative way to combine meat, vegetables and spice. Together, those sections allow a meal to range from mild and creamy to more aromatic or chilli-led preparations.

Chimney also makes room for different styles of occasion. A quick lunch can centre on a starter and rice dish, whereas an evening table can stretch across tandoori plates, curries and biryani. Drinks are available from the fully licensed bar, and guests may instead bring their own wine. That flexibility continues beyond the dining room through the restaurant's takeaway and delivery services, but the full menu remains designed to be combined: roasted food alongside sauced dishes, breads and rice alongside seafood or meat, and contrasting regional flavours shared across the table.
