Experiences at restaurants can change from one visit to the next. My experience at Indigo was very pleasant. The food I received was excellent, and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t usually go for a curry. The range of whisky / whiskey they have is out of this world, and I found the service great. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.

Oh gosh what a delightful little place this is can’t wait to bring hubby here. although it was quiet on a Wednesday night the service was amazing, welcoming just made me happy and the range of whiskeys is beyond comprehension something like 1200 different bottles different prices just incredible and they sell some really nice bottles for off license I believe, also there is a Spirit menu so you can actually find what you are looking for ( example of one of the pages in photos!) thanks team for your hospitality. It was lovely being a woman on my own and having my nightcap with such great company.
A wonderful find at the conclusion of the 2024 Art Deco Festival.
Extensive and authentic menu, good wine list and cocktails 🍸.
Will certainly return when we're back in Napier in 2026!

My husband and I had dinner there last night. The food was absolutely delicious and the service team was extremely friendly and attentive.

Just got back from Indigo with friends, food was delicious, service was great. Amazingly, we were the only people in there so atmosphere wasn't buzzing but we had a great time.
Even the kids enjoyed it and they can be very fussy eaters.
I highly recommend giving them a try.

I would have loved to give this place a 4.5 stars as the food was absolutely delicious and the servings, especially for entree tandoori, were generous, and prices reasonable.
However, on the night we went the service was shocking. In fairness to the one waitress who basically had to do everything, the restaurant manager really should have more wait staff. The poor lady was trying to seat people, take orders, make drinks, pick up food and deliver to the tables, get food for Uber and pick ups, and take payment.
In addition to this, the place is advertised as a bar and restaurant, and has an extremely well stocked bar. But- we couldn’t get a drinks menu until the other table had finished with it and none of the spirits or the whiskeys etc were listed. She did say it was being updated but then again it was not a new bar set up according to her, so not sure why it hadn’t been done a while ago.
The place is really conducive to being a place to hang out with a drink but we saw some people get up and leave after sitting in the bar area with no one seeing to them for about half an hour.
If you have no staff then forget take sways and Uber and concentrate on the people already seated in the restaurant.
Despite this I’d give it another try just for the food. And kudos to the waitress who didn’t stop all night but still managed to smile and be friendly.

OMG - the food was stunning. It is the best Indian meal (and we love Indian food) we have ever eaten. The whole experience was memorable. The service was impeccable. We will definitely be back!

Went to this place after long time thought would have great experience but was very disappointed with service and food. Not worth wasting money there and overpriced.

Was a lovely meal and service was good. Tables nicely presented but very large. Can be hard to hear the person across the table if it is busy as it was when we went. Huge selection of whiskeys that line a good part of one wall. Big selection of food on the menu also. There are high chairs for those that need. I was very touched that there is an aed defibrillator just outside too.
Went here on my birthday best service and even got a free dessert for my birthday. They were so nice and very observant if we needed anything best birthday dinner.
