WELCOME TO GOAT
GOAT by Sid Chopra is an Indian restaurant in the heart of Auckland CBD, built on a simple idea to showcase the unexplored side of Indian cuisine.
​
Led by Chef-Owner Sid Chopra, the menu travels region by region, lesser-known dishes, time-honoured techniques, and bold, honest flavours, reimagined the GOAT way.
​
Born and brought up in Delhi, Sid brings over two decades of experience shaped by kitchens, cultures, and travel, a style that respects tradition without being bound by it.
​
Set within a heritage space, GOAT brings together warmth, character, and a sense of place, a journey through India’s diverse regions, right here in Auckland.
​
Thoughtful food. Strong flavours. A dining experience that feels refined yet real.
​
Award-winning — Cuisine One Hat & Iconic Auckland Eats 2025.
From India, with love.
