Recommended Dinner Spot: Indian Restaurant “Indigo”
One restaurant that caught my eye inside Port Denarau Shopping Centre was the Indian restaurant Indigo .sea-facing table , though indoor seating is also available.
Indigo Indian Asian Restaurant & Bar Port Denarau, Nadi, Fiji
The ocean-view terrace is especially recommended. You can feel the sea breeze while dining, which makes the experience even more relaxing. Cocktails were reasonably priced, so I ordered one to start.
Fiji has a large population of Indian descent, so Indian restaurants are very common—and the quality is excellent. I had been craving Fijian-style curry, so I chose a prawn curry .
The menu is English-only , which may make it a bit difficult to understand ingredients, cooking styles, or flavors. But honestly, that’s part of the travel experience. Learning a little beforehand never hurts.
By the way, prawn curry is listed as “Prawn Curry” on the menu.
I considered recommending a useful book, but honestly, the fastest and easiest solution is simply to use Google Lens on the menu .
I ordered:
Coconut prawn curry
Steamed rice
A cocktail
FIJI Water
The total came to FJD 60.35 , which is about ¥4,100 JPY .
While tap water is available, I personally recommend ordering bottled mineral water when traveling abroad, just to be safe.
Because of Fiji’s strong Indian influence, the spices are bold and authentic. The curry was incredibly flavorful, yet I think it’s something Japanese travelers will enjoy as well .
The menu offers a wide variety of options, including tandoori dishes and Asian-inspired cuisine . If you’re sensitive to spice, be sure to mention it when ordering.
Dining at your hotel restaurant is always an option, but if you’re looking to enhance the resort vibe or try something a little different, this is a great choice.
Keep your receipt from Indigo. If you return within 7 days , you’ll receive 15% off your next meal . If you find yourself craving Indian food again during your stay, don’t forget to bring that receipt!
Other Dining Options
There are several other restaurants and cafés within Port Denarau Shopping Centre.restaurants along the waterfront were the most popular and lively , and some even offered live music performances , which added to the resort atmosphere.
Fiji is an island nation surrounded by the ocean, so fresh seafood is abundant . You may even find fish you’ve never heard of before—don’t hesitate to ask the staff for recommendations.
As the sun began to set, the mood became really nice and relaxed. However, once it gets dark, the shopping center does become a bit quieter , and depending on the area, it can feel slightly empty or calm.
There’s also an ice cream shop from New Zealand .New Zealand–made products , including wine and food items.
On the way back, I stopped by “Lazy Beans Port Denarau” to grab a sandwich. I ended up sharing a taxi back to the hotel with someone who happened to be heading in the same direction.FJD 10 one way .
