Lamb rogan josh in a brass serving bowl at Welcome India

Welcome India serves Papanui through both a dining room and takeaway operation, opening for lunch and returning for dinner every day. Its North Indian menu is presented as freshly prepared and adjustable to individual tastes, a useful approach for groups that differ on heat or richness. Online ordering sits alongside table dining, so the same kitchen works for a planned meal out or a curry collected on the way home.

The starter section shows more than one side of the kitchen. Chicken tikka and bone-in tandoori chicken are marinated with yoghurt, ginger, garlic and spices before the heat of the tandoor, while honey chilli potatoes and vegetable Manchurian bring an Indo-Chinese contrast. That makes it possible to begin with smoke and char, crisp fried textures or the sweeter, sharper sauce profile of the meat-free dishes.

Curries cover the familiar comfort of butter chicken and chicken tikka masala, but the range continues through kadai and balti preparations, lamb rogan josh, vindaloo and goat curry. Vegetarian mains have their own depth: palak paneer folds cheese into spinach, kadhai paneer uses a more robust tomato and pepper direction, and malai kofta and dal makhani offer softer, slower-cooked alternatives. A separate seafood section broadens the choice further.

Biryani and rice dishes can form the centre of a meal, while breads such as garlic naan, Kashmiri naan and thin rumali roti are useful for sharing around several gravies. Desserts and drinks round out the menu without crowding the main event. The combination of daily service, a sizeable vegetarian selection and several distinct bread, rice and protein routes makes Welcome India easy to navigate for both a solo takeaway and a mixed family table.
