Last Train to India is the only Indian restaurant I know of that opens for lunch on weekends. Most Indian restaurants I had wanted to try are closed at that time. I really like how the place is decorated.

Last Train to India offers a lot of exotic curries that I’ve never seen anywhere else. We ordered a couple of curries off the express lunch menu, and one off their standard menu. If you are not after the exotic curries, then definitely go for the express lunch menu. They are about half the price and the portion size is about the same. The main difference is how your food is presented. Also, the curries on the standard menu do not come with rice. Plain rice is NZD 1 extra. The curries are good. They are quite different compared to ones I’ve had at other Indian restaurants. As always, just when you think there is not going to be enough curry for your rice and the naan bread, you end up with leftovers. The service is good.

The Gold Card offer was for 25 percent off the total bill; up to NZD 25. We saved NZD 13.50 this time.
