Master of India Napier is an established Ahuriri restaurant serving lunch and dinner throughout the week from its Bridge Street premises. Dine-in guests can choose between booths, bar seating and separate dining areas, while pickup and delivery extend the same kitchen beyond the room. The setting is built for flexibility: couples can order a straightforward curry meal, mixed groups can share a wider spread, and larger celebrations can use a dedicated function space rather than squeezing around an ordinary table.
The tandoor section offers a useful introduction to the kitchen's range. Chicken wings are marinated with garlic, ginger, yoghurt and spices before charcoal cooking, while malai tikka takes a creamier direction. Fish tikka and tandoori prawns bring seafood into the high-heat mix, and a combination platter gathers chicken drumsticks, fish, chicken tikka and lamb together. Those choices allow a table to compare different marinades and proteins while retaining the smoke and char that unite the section.
Beyond the grill, the menu travels through vegetarian dishes, chicken and lamb curries, seafood, chef specials, biryani and rice. Breads and accompaniments make it easy to turn individual mains into a shared meal, while the restaurant's stated vegetarian and vegan options help groups order across different diets. Onion bhaji and vegetable samosa can begin the meal in familiar fashion, but the breadth of the categories means diners are not limited to a short list of standard curry-house combinations.
Dessert provides a choice between the syrup-soaked warmth of gulab jamun and the cooler fruit character of mango kulfi. That final contrast reflects the menu's wider usefulness: a meal can be kept concise with a starter, curry and bread, or expanded through tandoor plates, biryani and sweets. For celebrations, the function room can accommodate groups of up to seventy, giving the restaurant a clear role in Ahuriri for family occasions and organised gatherings as well as routine lunches and dinners.
