New flavours of India: Saket Indian Restaurant
Christchurch has a new offering of authentic Indian cuisine.
They offer a fine dining experience with high quality, freshly-prepared dishes and stellar service.
Saket Indian Restaurant is the brain-child of Suraj Khatri, who wanted to take his many years of experience in managing Indian restaurants to create his own. He joined forces with a partner and that’s how the Prebbleton establishment came to be.
The restaurant borrowed its name from Sanskrit, which means a place where God resides. Suraj explains that “In India, food plays a significant role in the religious and spiritual practices of the country. It is considered divine and worshipped like God because it performs the functions of creation and preservation. We aim to serve food of significance that nourishes and sustains the life of our customers. We use traditional cooking methods, and authentic culinary spices to achieve this.”
The menu is extensive with a bit of something to suit any dietary requirements. Suraj recommends the Saket Chicken – beautifully cooked chicken in vegetable gravy with herbs, spices, cream and fresh coriander, or the Lamb Supreme – cooked with ginger, garlic, spices, curry masala and finished with coconut cream.
Suraj is really appreciative for all the local support they’ve received since opening. At the moment the restaurant is offering 10% off takeaway orders.
