Our Story

Where India meets New Zealand

Since arriving in New Zealand in 2011 and diving into hospitality in 2012, our mission has been to weave the rich tapestry of Indian flavours into the fabric of our local community.

Bombay Dreams is more than a restaurant — it's a celebration of India's diverse cuisine, reimagined with a modern twist. Here, tradition and innovation mingle to create dishes that delight the senses and warm the heart. Welcome to our dream, where every bite is a taste of India.
