Stuffed naan bread at Star of India Hastings

Star of India Hastings is a fully licensed Karamu Road restaurant serving lunch and dinner alongside takeaway and delivery. Table bookings, a dedicated dine-in menu and a broad selection of banquet-style food make it more than a collection counter. The kitchen covers familiar North Indian restaurant territory but provides enough depth across tandoor cooking, curries, vegetarian dishes, rice and bread for guests to assemble either a compact meal or a long table of shared plates.

Entrées show how the tandoor and fryer produce distinct starting points. Onion bhaji, vegetable samosa and mixed pakora build crisp layers around vegetables and chickpea flour, while paneer pakora gives cottage cheese the same treatment. Chicken tikka is marinated overnight in spiced yoghurt before roasting, with mint and creamy malai variations available. Lamb seekh kebab, fish pakora and tandoori prawns then extend the selection across minced meat and seafood.

The curry list is organised by protein but offers meaningful changes in sauce and seasoning. Korma brings a mild cashew-rich gravy, sagwala uses spinach, and bhuna cooks down onion and tomato into a thicker finish. Lamb Madras and prawn Malwari add coconut, curry leaves and mustard seed, while kadai and vindaloo move in brighter or hotter directions. Heat can be adjusted from mild through Indian hot, and complimentary rice accompanies the main curries.

Vegetarian diners can move between yellow dal, slow-cooked black lentils, chickpeas, potatoes with spinach, mixed vegetables and a substantial range of paneer dishes. Biryani comes with chicken, lamb, prawns or vegetables, and the bread section ranges from garlic naan to potato, onion, paneer and dried-fruit fillings. Separate meat and vegetarian banquets simplify group ordering, while children's butter chicken and chips give younger diners a straightforward entry into the menu.
