Indian restaurants in Whakatane

Deutsche

Sometimes it can be tricky to find a restaurant with a convincing menu if you are travelling in New Zealand as a vegetarian.  Even salads contain meat is in most established cafes and restaurants. But those who are keen on Indian cuisine or are looking for a change from sandwiches and pies might like to take a chance on this alternative (even if they are not vegetarians).


In Whakatane you can find two Indian restaurants; one is called `Indian Aroma´ and the name of the other one is `Kopeo Indian Restaurant´.


The Indian Aroma is very nicely located at the mouth of the Whakatane river. Its ambience and view are more appealing than the Indian Cuisine Kopeo.  Until now we only had lunch at the Indian Aroma.   The menu is hugely varied, and the Chefs seem to be pretty serious about what they are doing.  They cater to special dietary needs such as gluten intolerance or non-dairy diets, which is nice.

The Indian Cuisine Kopeo (alas, no website, but here is their menu:  http://www.dineout.co.nz/assets/7907_table_menu.pdf) doesnt look too appealing but is located centrally. Soon we also will visit this restaurant. But if anybody went there and could give a comment we would be happy to publish it.
