We were recommended The Spice Room when we visited a local vineyard. We hadn’t planned to have an Indian meal but were swayed by the recommendation and we were so very glad we did! the service was excellent, polite, friendly and attentive whilst still discreet. We had heard that the goat was a must and I can see why! Beautifully cooked with delicate flavours. A tandoori platter was everything we could have hoped for and everything we had was fresh, delicious and very filling. We will certainly be back – congratulations to all at The Spice Room, what a treasure for Wanaka!

Very friendly place. They were fully booked but found me a space at the front to eat. The food was well presented and great flavours. They have a good selection of wines at reasonable prices. I would recommend it to anyone.

If you want amazing meals and true hospitality – go to the spice room. We have dined there three and have been blown away by the flavours and the specials coming from the chef,try the bhuna gosht(truly special). Its good to see a restaurant where service is as important as the food,the young couple who run it look after you as if you were the only guests there. The drink prices were a pleasant surprise – quality cocktails and local wines for under $10.00,where do you see that these days? Try the bar at the entrance, cool and a chance to peopls watch.

Finally! A really good place for Indian food in Wanaka. Lovely atmosphere, with very friendly and capable staff, this is the only Indian place worth visiting in town. An interesting menu with all the old favourites as well as a wide range of dishes less commonly spotted on Indian menus in NZ. Generous helpings, beautiful flavours and worth every penny – both times we’ve had takeaways, we’ve had enough food for leftovers the next day!

Stumbled onto this place while staying in Wanaka. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was excellent. The owner was very helpful in giving us advice of places to see during our travels. We got the “Banquet” and it was perfect mix of Indian food and other treats! It was one of our best meals during our 2 weeks of travel. The Spice Room is a MUST!!

Scottish partner says it’s the best Indian he’s had since leaving Glasgow over ten years ago. We were in Wanaka for two weeks and went there twice, they remembered us the second time which is not very common these days.

A couple blocks off of the main drag finds you at this outstanding Indian restaurant in Wanaka of all places. Great menu, fresh ingredients, and very gracious staff. There were three of us, we asked the owner what we should order, she asked us a few questions, and then made some suggestions. Outstanding, absolutely outstanding.

I hadn’t planned on eating much in the way of Indian food whilst in NZ, coming from London and being near a great Indian district but I went with a fellow traveller’s suggestion and we didn’t regret it. Really friendly service and, as others have commented, an interesting and varied menu. Very reasonably priced too, especially given the quality and the helpings.
