Thereafter, he graduated from the esteemed Hotel and Hospitality Institute in Austria, and then attained an MBA in Alaska. Dilip has lived and worked in several countries and speaks some 6 languages. Now he is a New Zealand citizen. Vanta, also now a NZ citizen, was born in Malaysia. She worked for the United Nations and then the British High Commission. After migrating to Canada, she worked at the University of Toronto, and for architectural and geophysical firms. Vanta is an accomplished Kathak Indian classical dancer and enjoys pottery.

INDIAN SUMNER Indian Sumner has been described by customers local or overseas as the funkiest Indian restaurant around town. Rimu tables connected to porcelain with saris decorate the walls and painting for sale. What started as only a takeaway turned out to be the most sort after restaurant for its petite, cozy, warmth and approachable friendly staff. NEW NEW NEW We recently opened INDIAN SUMNER BANQUET HALL and can accommodate large bookings and cater for parties, birthdays, weddings. INDIAN FENDALTON Our second restaurant Indian Fendalton is located at the corner of Ilam and Clyde roads. We again feature a kaleidoscope of Indianesque artwork, texture and colour.

Experience the difference here with delicious foods and ambiance.
