About

The Indian Tadka restaurant was established in 2018 By Chef Balvir Singh Rawat who is from Uttarakhand (Northern India, in the lap of Himalaya Mountain range. Chef Balvir has over 30 years experience cooking authentic Indian cuisine. He has worked in various Indian restaurants around New Zealand over the past 18 years. After years of hard work, he decided to open his own restaurant with his son
Birendra Rawat. Birendra came to New Zealand after completing his hospitality graduation degree from India in 2017.

Tadka is known as “tempering”. It is the technique in which whole or ground spices are briefly roasted in oil or ghee (clarified butter) in order to release their essential oils, thus making their flavour more aromatic.

We operated our 1st restaurant in Opunake (South Taranaki) from 2018 to 2021. We started our new adventure in Matamata in 2022 with the desire to service authentic Indian food in Matamata.
