About Planet Spice
Found at the Newtown area, Planet Spice is an Indian restaurant that has become part of the Newtown dining scene. From the Wellington city centre it is roughly 2.6 km away – a short drive, bus or bike ride.
The kitchen focuses on Indian food. Dishes typical of this style include palak paneer and garlic naan, so it is a good pick if those are on your list. With 35 Indian options across Wellington, this corner of the local food scene is well covered.
Doors are open every day of the week. The earliest start is 11:30 am on Mondays, and the latest finish is 10:30 pm on Thursdays. It stays open late on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, which is handy after a show or a late flight. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 52 hours each week.
On the practical side, the listing notes wheelchair accessible. For budgeting, Indian restaurants of this kind in New Zealand typically cost around $20–$40 per person (Moderate). The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 10 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
