Aarth takes a considered look at the extraordinary regional diversity of Indian cooking. At the helm, chef and founder Vinayak Shah draws on both heritage and memory, applying a contemporary lens to flavours and techniques rooted across the subcontinent. Local New Zealand produce meets dishes inspired by everything from coastal Goa to the kitchens of North India, with plates designed to surprise while retaining a sense of familiarity. Alongside the à la carte offering sits the multi-course Aarth Experience, giving Shah greater freedom to tell the restaurant’s story from beginning to end. Thoughtful, polished and deeply personal, this is modern Indian dining with something meaningful to say.
