Hidden in the corner of the Waipoli shopping center,
the steady business is a testament to the quality of its tandoori-style cuisine (cooked in a
cylindrical clay oven). The extensive menu covers the gamut of Indian cuisine, from len-
til and lamb curry to vegetable samosas and everything in between.

Excellent breakfasts and tasty lunch and dinner mains
are served in this fun boathouse at the Outrigger. Dishes are rather counterintuitive (in a
good way), with offerings like shepherd's pie, braised brisket and farmers market curry
along with grilled fresh catch. The Sunday brunch is a full-on affair, so come hungry.
