Taupo, New Zealand
Malabar Beyond India brings subcontinental cooking to Taupo's town centre, working within a regional dining scene more associated with lake views and New Zealand lamb than Indian spice traditions. Located at 2/40 Tūwharetoa Street, it represents the kind of specialist operator that provincial New Zealand towns increasingly support, a focused kitchen drawing on the depth of a cuisine that extends far beyond the curry-house template most diners expect.

Set on the shores of Lake Taupo with 3km of private beach and 254 hectares of grounds, Kinloch Manor & Villas pairs award-winning architecture by Andrew Patterson with an estate-driven dining philosophy sourced from a near pesticide-free sister property. The Jack Nicklaus-designed Kinloch Club golf course, a 100% organic spa, and direct access to the Tongariro Alpine Crossing position this as the North Island's most complete lodge address.
