Paradise

Auckland


Specialising in the sort of Mughlai cuisine you'd find on the streets of Hyderabad, Paradise serves a delicious array of curry and biryani dishes from both its very pleasant restaurant and the attached takeaway counter. Our favourite is the baghara baingan (eggplant curry). There's another branch just around the corner doing a nightly Indian buffet ($18-20) from 6.30pm.
