About East India
Tucked into 514 Main Road Stoke in Stoke, East India serves Indian food to locals and visitors in Stoke, Nelson. From the Nelson city centre it is roughly 6.2 km away – worth planning your route before you set off.
The kitchen focuses on Indian food. Dishes typical of this style include butter chicken and palak paneer, so it is a good pick if those are on your list. It is one of 7 Indian venues we list in Nelson. The menu also crosses into fast food & takeaway territory.
You can visit any day of the week – East India opens daily. The earliest start is 11:30 am on Mondays, and the latest finish is 9 pm on Mondays. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 43 hours each week.
Good to know: vegetarian options. As a rough guide, expect to spend about $10–$20 a head at a Indian takeaway like this. The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 10 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
