Cassia

Auckland's Indian dining scene is rich and diverse, but no other restaurants quite capture the essence of culinary artistry like Cassia, the brainchild of Sid and Chand Sahrawat. Sid’s exceptional talent lies in his ability to merge traditional Indian flavours with modern cooking techniques and New Zealand ingredients, creating a menu that is both exciting and deeply satisfying. Start your culinary adventure toward a deeper understanding of regional Indian cuisines with the goat’s cheese and corn pao followed by the classic Cassia fried chicken and a main of mixed mushrooms in a genius green chilli cream with peas and enoki. To finish, a sweet-sour yoghurt and lychee sorbet with flavours of cashew, coconut and makrut lime. The drinks selection at Cassia is equally impressive, featuring inventive cocktails that pay homage to Sid and Chand's heritage. Since opening in 2014 it has become a pioneer of modern Indian dining, and now resides at SkyCity in Federal Street. With prestigious awards and a devoted following, Cassia invites you to experience a celebration of flavours that will leave a lasting impression.
