Our story travels with both branches: rooted in Kerala heritage, shaped by Aotearoa, and delivered through warm hospitality, flavour, and care.
This branch switcher still keeps your booking, ordering, and live branch details in sync, while the founders and team story below always remains visible for both branches.
Our story, the story of Arranged Marriage, embodies the journey of people from a faraway land who embraced their new homeland, put in the mahi, learned the local culture, and are proud to have made a palpable difference to the local hospitality landscape.
The fusion of local customs and the mana whenua of Te Atiawa with the traditions of our birthplaces became a common thread woven together by local architect Murali Bhasker, principal of Boon Architects, through the Arranged Marriage name and fit-out.
We welcome you into our sanctuary so your taste buds can be excited and aroused. There is something on our menu for everyone, and our team works to make every visit truly memorable.
This founders section always stays visible, no matter which branch is selected.
Meet the people behind both branches — the Palmerston North and New Plymouth teams who bring Kerala warmth and South Indian hospitality to every table.
The Palmerston North branch team brings vibrant service, city-centre energy, and Kerala warmth into one welcoming dining experience.
The New Plymouth branch team carries the same authentic flavour and hospitality with a coastal-city rhythm shaped for relaxed, memorable dining.
