The Art of Fire

The technique hasn't changed in centuries. Turns out, it didn't need to.

Our Story

The sigree
doesn't lie.

You can't fake what comes off a real sigree. The charcoal does something an oven or gas flame just can't. It caramelises the outside fast, locks the moisture in, and works with the marinade to build flavour you can actually taste. Not nostalgia. Just how it works.

We opened on Rosebank Road because Auckland needed an Indian restaurant where the food does the talking. We cook regional dishes properly, season with intention, and trust our guests to notice.

01

Flame & Time

A proper sigree cook doesn't watch the clock. They go by colour, smell, and years of instinct. We marinate overnight, wait for the coals to settle, and never rush a rack because a table is waiting.

02

Regional Craft

India has more regional food traditions than most countries have cuisines. Our menu pulls from the north, the coasts, and everywhere in between. Why limit yourself when the source material is that good?

03

Gracious Service

A small front-of-house team means you actually get to know the people looking after you. No scripts, no performance. Just real care for how your time here goes.

From the Kitchen

What We're
Known For

A few dishes our guests keep coming back for. Each one comes from a different regional tradition, cooked over live fire.

01

Sigree Lamb Chops

Double-marinated overnight and cooked over white-hot charcoal. The fat renders, the crust forms, and the inside stays pink. Our most requested dish since day one.

02

Hyderabadi Dum Biryani

Slow-cooked in a sealed pot the way it should be. Layered rice, saffron, and spiced meat steaming together until the lid comes off at your table. Made for sharing.

03

Tandoori Prawns

Tiger prawns in a yoghurt-spice marinade, charred fast over the sigree. The heat seals the shell and the flesh stays succulent. Finished with a squeeze of lime and fresh chaat masala.
