Fish pakora with sliced onion and green dipping sauce at Indian Palate Rotorua

Indian Palate serves Fenton Street through several styles of dining at once: customers can sit down for a curry, collect a takeaway or order for delivery. The menu reaches beyond a compact list of familiar mains, bringing together tandoor cooking, North Indian street food, Indo-Chinese dishes, rolls, biryani and sweets. Combos also package curries with rice, naan and drinks for a faster meal. That breadth makes the restaurant as workable for a quick snack as for a shared dinner built across several courses.

The starter list is unusually varied. Steamed chicken momos are seasoned with onion, chilli and pepper, while aloo-paneer bread pakora layers potato, cottage cheese and peas inside gram-flour batter. Paneer pakora, cheese-and-corn rolls and vegetable spring rolls provide several meat-free choices. Chicken 65 is tossed with yoghurt, ginger, garlic, chilli and curry leaves, and Punjabi fish pakora brings herbs and spice to crisp pieces of fish. Chicken tikka and creamy malai tikka add the smoky character of the tandoor.

Curries cover both rich gravies and more assertive spice. Indian-style butter chicken is built on onion, tomato and cashew, while chicken tikka masala folds roasted chicken into a creamy capsicum gravy. Kadai chicken and goat curry take heartier paths. Vegetarians can choose slow-cooked dal makhani, kadai paneer with capsicum, creamy paneer butter masala, whole-spiced chana masala or paneer tikka masala. The number of different gravies and pulses means a meat-free order can move well beyond a single token dish.

Street-food favourites give the menu another layer of texture and informality. Samosa chaat, pani puri and bhalla papdi chaat combine crisp shells or wafers with potato, chickpeas, yoghurt and chutneys, while kathi rolls wrap paneer or chicken with onions, capsicum and green chutney. Amritsari kulcha, pav bhaji and chole bhature sit beside chicken, vegetable and goat biryanis, with cumin rice or pea pulao available as simpler accompaniments. Gulab jamun, milk cake, masala tea and mango lassi offer several distinctly Indian ways to finish.
