Satya Auckland
Auckland, New Zealand
The read// why locals go
Satya is a South Indian kitchen on Great North Road, where Grey Lynn's run of cafes and record shops gives way to the western suburbs. The menu works the batter-and-lentil traditions of the south — dosa, idli, thali — rather than the northern curries most New Zealand curry houses lean on. It has become a fixture for Auckland's South Asian families and for anyone working nearby, partly because the cooking is unhurried and partly because mains sit around NZ$18. Vegetarians are not an afterthought: a large share of the menu never involves meat, and the kitchen is used to handling allergy requests rather than treating them as an interruption.
