Sahana South Indian Restaurant
About the Business
Welcome to Sahana South Indian Restaurant, located at 305 Remuera Road in Auckland, New Zealand. As an establishment that specializes in South Indian cuisine, we offer a unique dining experience that showcases the flavors and aromas of Chettinad, a region known for its rich culinary heritage.
Chettinad cuisine is famous for its spicy and aromatic dishes, and our restaurant is proud to bring this authentic taste to our patrons. Whether you are a fan of non-vegetarian fare or simply love the bold flavors of Indian cuisine, our menu is sure to delight your taste buds. One dish that you cannot miss is our Chicken Chettinad, a signature dish that is a staple in almost every non-vegetarian restaurant in India.
The secret to the exceptional taste of Chettinad cuisine lies in the use of a variety of spices. Our chefs take pride in creating fresh ground masalas that infuse every dish with a burst of flavors. From aromatic biryanis influenced by foreign cuisines to traditional Chettinad recipes passed down through generations, our menu offers a wide range of options to satisfy every palate.
The Chettiars, who hail from the Chettinad region, were known for their legendary hospitality. They would entertain British guests during the time of the Raj, incorporating their cuisine into elaborate feasts. The size of their kitchens and banquet halls were a testament to their love for food and hosting grand meals. Even today, the kitchen utensils and instruments used by the Chettiars are considered collectibles, valued for their unique design and vintage make.
At Sahana South Indian Restaurant, we strive to recreate the warmth and hospitality of the Chettiar community. Our cozy and inviting atmosphere is perfect for enjoying a meal with family and friends. Whether you choose to dine in or take away, our friendly staff is here to ensure that your experience is nothing short of exceptional.

"We went to Sahana for onam sadya. It was exceptional and well organized, pleasant atmosphere, well attended staff. Hats off to you guys to hold such an amazing event."
"So. As per previously stated I do not give 5 stars for good. To get 5 stars it has to be exceptional. I was here on Tuesday 18th July 2023 by myself for a meal at about 1730hrs - 1800hrs I arrived. Quaint little place and the lady that greeted me was most pleasant. I ordered the Kahmiri Lamb Rogen Josh (medium heat) , a bowl of rice and the Goat cheese Naan. While waiting to be served a gentleman who I assume yo be the owner/manager came out and gave me a complimentary disk of Vazhai Poo Vadai which is made from banana flower. I have attached pictures (not mine). They had a beautiful flavour and dipped in a curd were just fantastic. Whe main I ordered came out and I have to say , I have tried Lamb Rogan Josh in Indian Restaurants from one end of this country to the other (see previous reviews), but this, hands down, was the nicest. The level of heat was excellent, the amount of diced Lamb was very good and the flavors were the best I have tried. The goats cheese Naan I have never had anywhere else was just to kill for. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ is most certainly deserved. If it wasn't for the fact I was visiting Auckland from Invercargill , then I would certainly be back here on a fairly frequent basis. Well done and thank you for a meal I thoroughly enjoyed."
"We decided to try this South Indian place last Saturday. We were all impressed is all I'll say. Having never been there before, we decided to get lots of different dishes. I would highly recommend the Methu vada which came with the sambal and chutneys. The sambal was delicious. The Gobi manchurian dry dish was so light and flavour some, the soft noodles were also great.Overall a great little place. Staff were frriendly too. Would definitely try this place again."
"First time today for us, we found Sahana just by searching in Google for a new place to try. We were not disappointed, we were told food might take a while but we didn't even notice the time pass us by as wel were enjoying ourselves. The wait staff were very polite and helpful, the food arrived and presented well, the most important fact is it all tasted great. The spice levels were more on the mild side but still food was flavourful and we will definitely be back to try more from the menu again. A great night out"
