Jugnu’s Little India
Best Indian Restaurant in Wellington
Jugnu’s Little India is a Wellington based business. The foundations of this business are derived from Little India that was started by my brother Sukhmohan (Sukhi) Gill in Dunedin in 1991. Our first restaurant in Wellington started on Dec 24, 1997. We now have 2 restaurants in Wellington city, Paraparaumu Beach and a restaurant in the heritage building Mungavin Homestead, Porirua. All our locations is an ideal venue for Weddings and functions.
Wellington History
Jugnu Gill opened his first restaurant in 1997. Jugnu arrived in New Zealand from New Jersey, USA. In his working life he worked as a Systems Engineer in Information Technology for 2 large corporations. First in London and then in the USA. Jugnu has always had a passion for food and hospitality. He wanted to open a restaurant in New Jersey, but it was not practical at that time.
His siblings, Dame Sukhinder Turner, Shammi Sandhu and brother Sukhmohan (Sukhi) Gill were already in Dunedin. Jugnu joined them in 1993.
It was a natural progression for Jugnu to help his brother with his business. Jugnu opened a restaurant in Queenstown with his siblings. and then owned and operated a Bar and Night club in Dunedin! A desire to branch out on his own eventually led him to Wellington.

We have lots of traditional curries which come from our grandmother’s recipes. Our careful preparation makes our indian food beautiful to behold and additive to the palate. We use a traditional tandoor fired by charcoal which gives our naans authentic flavour. We look forward to serving you the finest cuisine from back home.
