Our adventure started on a weekend when we were already exhausted…two consecutive days and nights spent moving apartments, topped off with a pub crawl the night before that left us hungover and unable to stomach anything. That’s when we stumbled upon the holy grail: Muthu’s.
We’ve DoorDashed and UberEats’d from here before, but visiting in person is an entirely different experience, one I’d highly recommend. The food was phenomenal. I’ve had Tamil (South Indian) cuisine across 6–7 countries, and even back home in Dubai where there’s a massive Tamil diaspora, nothing comes close to what Muthu creates. His dosas and vadas genuinely rival what you’d find in Tamil Nadu itself.
The vada is handmade (one of the only places in Wellington that doesn’t rely on frozen, premade vadas or dosa batter). Everything is fresh, authentic, and made with real skill. Muthu is not just an incredible cook, he’s also a genuinely great guy to chat with.
Me and the Mrs will definitely be coming back whenever we’re craving a true taste of home. 🙌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing food ... flavorful and yummy roti canai (especially the egg roto canai). Portion sizes are huge for the price of them. The masala tea is super delicious - highly recommend that. I will need to come back and try more of the menu :)

Great find in this place, especially because we love a nice traditional curry.
No heavy creams or thick sauces loaded with sugar, just nice wholesome cooked meals.
Lamb Sukka...absolutely yummy. Butter chicken and Chicken Masala a not the normal curries you see at the malls but really nice.
And the Roti just topped it off, freshly made i front of me and nice crispy edges.
Thank you for dinner and I hope to see you soon 🧡

Amazingly tasty food, friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere.
First dining here but will not be the last as we were blown away by the food.
I ordered the Butter Chicken with a side of cheese Roti. The Butter Chicken was not a standard traditional recipe, however the changes made by the chef gave a unique and distinctive twist that had a wonderful taste.
Again, will definitely be dining here again in the future.
5/5
