Indian Ocean Restaurant has served Ferrymead from its Humphreys Drive dining room since 2006. Indian artwork brings colour to the contemporary interior, giving the restaurant a comfortable setting for a sit-down meal while takeaway and delivery keep it practical for dinner at home. The long-running neighbourhood presence is matched by a wide menu rather than a narrow list of familiar curries.

The opening selection crosses fried snacks and dishes from the tandoor. Vegetable samosa, aloo pakora and onion bhaji provide crisp meat-free choices, while dumplings bring a Himalayan note to the table. Tandoori mushrooms, chicken tikka and the spicier chicken 65 broaden the range, and papadums work as a light beginning while the rest of the order is prepared.

Curries remain the centre of the experience, with enough variation to suit both cautious and adventurous diners. Prawn coconut curry has a gentler coastal character, butter chicken supplies the rich crowd favourite, and goat curry arrives on the bone for deeper flavour. Paneer tikka masala, chickpea curry and dal give vegetarian diners substantial alternatives, and the kitchen can adjust the heat of many dishes to preference.

Biryani offers a complete rice-based meal, while naan and other breads are useful for sharing alongside several curries. A dedicated vegan section makes plant-based ordering more straightforward, and rice, chutneys and other accompaniments help round out the table. Dessert provides a final course, and diners with allergies or specific dietary requirements are encouraged to discuss suitable choices with the restaurant before ordering.
