Located at the Shelly Bay apartments and a short two minute drive to the east (or turn right on the Esplanade).We absolutely love curry and we've found the perfect Indian restaurant, right here in Hervey Bay. In fact, the chef used to own a restaurant in our home town of Christchurch which was a favourite of ours back then, more than 15 years ago! Mention that you are staying at the Riviera :)
