Tandoor Tribe

From
Gujarat to
New Zealand,
Desi dreams take off.
Around two decades ago, Danny Parmar and his partner-in-flavour Pramita Parmar packed their bags, spiced up their dreams, and left their hometown in Gujarat for the stunning shores of Aotearoa.
They brought a suitcase full of secret recipes, a truckload of passion, and a mission to turn taste buds into believers.
They kicked things off flipping burgers and serving fries at a big-name American fast food joint in Feilding. But their hearts were always simmering with love for vegetarian food.
With bold ambition, they launched Palmerston North’s first all-vegetarian Indian restaurant.
Today their pride and joy Desi Vibes isn’t just a restaurant.
It’s a go-to destination for every celebration, craving and chai break.
Whether it’s a feast or a feel-good snack, the aroma of their kitchen pulls you in like a Bollywood beat drop.
