Fodor's Expert Review Malabar Restaurant

Hanmer Springs
Asian
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Looking out toward Conical Hill, this modern restaurant has a fine reputation for its Asian-fusion food presented with Kiwi flair. Dinner favorites are the lamb shank rogan josh, crispy duck, and ginger stir-fry along with a selection of traditionally cooked Indian curries. Their crème brûlée is a treat.
