Plated dishes at The Rasoi Napier

The Rasoi brings a broad view of Indian cooking to Napier's Marine Parade, drawing on traditions from the north, south, east and west rather than narrowing the menu to one region. The restaurant supports table bookings as well as takeaway and delivery, so the same kitchen can serve an evening out, a family meal at home or a casual lunch by the waterfront.

There is plenty to explore before the familiar curry sections. Street food, starters and soups lead into tandoor cooking, seafood, dum biryani and a mixed meat tasting platter, while clove-smoked lamb chops bring spice and smoke together. That breadth makes it possible to build a meal from shared smaller plates or move directly towards rice, breads and a substantial main.

The chef's suggestions show how far the kitchen reaches across regional styles. Corn-fed duck is paired with Chettinad sauce, pickled onion and ghee potato, pepper lamb fry takes a southern route, and Awadhi lamb korma uses saffron and cashew for a gentler richness. Lamb chops with nihari sauce and goat rassa offer deeper, layered flavours for diners looking beyond the standard favourites.

Vegetarian curries and seafood sit alongside the meat dishes, with breads, raita, pickles, chutneys and salads available to shape each meal. Desserts and a dedicated children's selection complete the menu, while the separate lunch, street-food and takeaway formats keep the restaurant flexible. Whether dining in or ordering home, guests can choose a compact combination or assemble a varied spread for the table.
