Simply Indian Restaurant and Sweets brings chef and founder Mahaveer Prasad's broad Indian menu to High Street in central Lower Hutt. The restaurant supports dine-in meals, table bookings, collection and delivery, so it works for an evening at the venue as readily as a meal at home. Fresh ingredients and traditional flavours are central to its own description, but the most revealing feature is the menu's range, stretching from tandoor cooking and regional curries to breads, rice, Indo-Chinese dishes and a dedicated sweets selection.

Starters offer a useful introduction to the kitchen's different cooking methods. Tandoori chicken, paneer tikka, fish tikka, lamb seekh kebab and tandoori prawns arrive from the high-heat grill, while onion bhaji, samosa and pakora bring a crisp fried contrast. Hara bhara kebab and tandoori mushrooms broaden the vegetarian choice beyond paneer. These dishes make it possible to build a varied first course for the table before committing to curries, or to assemble a lighter meal from several smaller plates.

The curry section balances recognisable favourites with a notably deep vegetarian range. Butter chicken, rogan josh, tikka masala, vindaloo and madras sit beside goat curry, Goan fish and Malabari preparations. Vegetarian diners can move through chana masala, dal makhani, dal tadka, palak paneer, karahi paneer, aloo gobhi and bhindi. Biryani, pulao, naan and stuffed parathas complete the traditional sequence, while noodles, Manchurian and chilli paneer introduce the kitchen's Indo-Chinese strand.

Dessert is woven into the restaurant's identity. Rasgulla and gajar halwa bring two distinct traditional sweets to the final course, while lassi and other drinks can cool a meal shaped around the tandoor or spicier sauces. With substantial meat, seafood and vegetarian sections, plus breads, rice and house sweets, Simply Indian is especially well suited to mixed groups: each diner can follow a different path while the table still shares a coherent Indian meal.
