Amazing food and great range of gluten free curries. Best Saagwala curry i’ve ever had. The chicken was very succulent. Staff were so smiley and friendly and regulary checked up on us. Butter chicken was scrumptious and creamy, cheesy garlic naan wasn’t very cheesy but was still pleasant. Large open space, well decorated. The music was nice but kept changing genres however that is my partner’s and i’s only personal critique.

We had heard about Dosa Kitchen from our friends who came across Dosa Kitchen's Facebook page. Me and my friend being dosa lovers we went to try them the following Saturday morning at the Riverside Market. I got the chicken dosa and my friend got the vegan masala dosa. I simply loved my chicken dosa and thought it was the best chicken dosa in New Zealand, the dosa was hot and crispy. My friend also loved the masala dosa, she told that the masala potatoes had just a touch of turmeric and just melllltttedd in the mouth. All this tasty food was gluten free, couldn't believe it and the masala dosa was vegan and dairy free.

We've eaten here several times and will keep coming back. Most of the dishes here have a freshly ground spice flavour, i.e. they have not been overcooked or lazily cooked. The dishes taste authentic. We always have the Daal Makhani as it's particularly good. Last night we tried the Lamb Ra Ra which was excellent. They cater to Gluten free and also dairy free people here. The interior is not very intimate or romantic, but the food and friendly service make up for this, and they've also made some changes recently, which do help give the place a warmer cosier feel.

Unfortunately it wasn’t a great experience, I gifted a friend a high tea experience and from the beginning she said things just didn’t go how they should. Their reservation was never recorded so when they arrived they were told there was no such booking, it took 3 attempts for someone to take their Tea order and the Gluten free food was far less then expected. She said the food she received was very nice so that’s a plus it was more around the whole experience. Thank you

As a coeliac I love this place. Of all the starters and mains only 3 are NOT gluten free. So many restaurants are the opposite. Coeliac aside, the food is delicious. I come to Christchurch infrequently for work but the consistency of the food here is impeccable. And the service is always warm and welcoming. Recommend this place to all. Very reasonably priced as well Eat in or takeaway.....up to you. Either way, enjoy!!!!

This is a great restaurant. Friendly staff and tasty food. Portion sizes are good and so are the prices. Allergy friendly - virtually everything is gluten free (except naans of course) and they're able to make most things dairy free, too. I'm a regular here and that won't be changing anytime soon.

Once again fantastic Indian food. Relaxing atmosphere. Great service. I love naan but only the recipie that uses yeast. Their naan is just perfect for me. Gluten is well developed. Also to note hygiene is very good too. Coming again.

Some of the most boating Indian I’ve ever had. The fish tikka wasn’t. It was just tandoori chicken and the fish amritsari was a fish pakora. Pretty sure the onion barji that the wait staff swore was gluten free isn’t, so pass on these if it counts for you
