Jugnu's Duniya (Flavours of the World)

On Cuba Mall in Te Aro, Jugnu’s Duniya (Flavours of the World) brings a kaleidoscope of taste to Wellington. It's rooted in Jugnu’s Little India, the family venture begun by Sukhmohan (Sukhi) Gill in Dunedin in 1991, with the city welcoming its first outpost in 1997.

Today, this city address nods to that heritage while looking outward, inviting diners to roam beyond borders in a warm, lively setting made for family gatherings.

The kitchen takes a globe-trotting brief seriously yet playfully - think Punjabi pizza, crispy masala dosas, wok-tossed Hakka noodles, and authentic pad Thai alongside aromatic chicken and lamb shank dum biryanis.

Diners can indulge in smoky charcoal-fired specialities like Bhatti Da Murg and charred lamb chops, street-food favourites like keema pau and samosas, or zesty dishes like the malai chicken salad. Expect a spectrum of flavours - spicy, sour, sweet, and hot - all under one roof.

Set within the hum of Cuba Mall, the mood is vibrant and easygoing, ideal for weeknight catch-ups and long, leisurely weekends. Families feel at home, students and seasoned locals are well looked after, and everyone's encouraged to dine their own way.

Pull up a chair, bring an appetite, and let Jugnu’s Duniya whirl you around the world - no passport required!
