From Alexandra to the South Island – Bringing Authentic Indian Flavours to More Communities
What started as a local favourite in Alexandra has grown into a thriving restaurant group, with Fishtail now serving guests in Twizel, Waimate, and Tekapo. After a decade of success, owner K.C. Bikas expanded into new locations, sharing the bold flavours of Indian and Nepalese cuisine with even more communities across New Zealand.
A Name with Himalayan Roots
The name "Fishtail" comes from the English translation of "Machhapuchhre", a majestic mountain in the Annapurna Himalayas of Nepal. Just like this iconic peak, Fishtail Restaurant & Bar stands for tradition, authenticity, and a love for great food.
A Menu That Celebrates Tradition
At Fishtail, we bring you the true taste of India with a carefully crafted menu featuring:
✔ Traditional Starters – Samosas, sheekh kebabs, onion bhaji, and mixed platters.
✔ Slow-Cooked Curries – Rogan Josh, Tikka Masala, Korma, and more.
✔ Aromatic Biryanis – Fragrant rice dishes with chicken, lamb, or prawns.
✔ Freshly Baked Bread – Naan and roti, cooked to order in our tandoori oven.
Every dish is made with authentic spices, fresh ingredients, and traditional cooking methods, ensuring an unforgettable dining experience whether you dine in or take away.
