GOAT

GOAT offers a fresh perspective on Indian dining, where chef Sid Chopra showcases the remarkable diversity of the subcontinent through a menu inspired by its many regional cuisines. Drawing on more than two decades of culinary experience, Sid has created a warm, contemporary space where bold flavours, refined techniques and genuine hospitality come together in every dish. The best way to experience the kitchen is with the ‘Leave It to the Goat’ menu, a curated journey through four regions of India. Highlights may include the beautifully balanced Matthi Chole and the Meen Manga Curry, featuring fresh trevally in a vibrant curry. Finish with the Thandai Tres Leches, a clever fusion of Indian flavours and the classic Latin American dessert that's both comforting and memorable. The beverage programme is equally impressive, with one of Auckland's most inventive cocktail lists. Expect house infusions, milk washing, clarified cocktails and flavours such as kokum, curry leaf, tamarind and cardamom, all thoughtfully designed to complement the food. Original, exciting and unlike anywhere else in New Zealand, GOAT is redefining what modern Indian dining can be.
