Last Train to India

Last Train to India

A friend of mine from Teacher’s College, Aman Sidhu, recently opened an India restaurant here in Christchurch. It’s called Last Train to India. It is located in the heart of the city on Cashel St right next to the Bridge of Remembrance. It’s also one of the best looking restaurants I have ever been in, with huge cushioned seats and marble tables. The food is good, I have been there for lunch and dinner and enjoyed both meals.

One thing I noticed is the uncomfortableness that arises when friends are all of a sudden put into customer/service roles. It’s weird to all of a sudden have a friend treat you like a customer. I’m sure it was the same for her, she might have felt the need to treat me special or chat with me when she was really needed elsewhere. Anyone else have experiences like this?

    Yeah, we had a similar experience when we went down to Cornwall and stayed with my Dad's cousin who owns a hotel with a restaurant. When we ate at the restaurant we were served by my cousin's friends who we'd met socially the day before. The whole "I know you, but you're my waitress/bartender" thing was a little weird, especially as you're expected to tip in the UK.

    Hey Aman,

    Can't believe you found my site. I'll take you up on that dinner any day. Still trying to arrange a time for Adwina, Angie and I to come in for a bite.
