South-Indian
Sandwiched in the middle of two of one of the best stretches of eating in Auckland, Venky’s is easy to overlook, when it is surrounded by so many amazing options. But to continue to do so is a mistake you no longer have an excuse to make. Venky’s South Indian food is distinct from it’s more common northern counterparts — the food here tends to be spicier in a pungent, tangy way, more than chilli heat. Everything we’ve had has been great, but good places to start is the Rava Dosa Upma, filled with chilli, mixed nuts, carrot and coriander, served with a coconut and ginger chutney.
