Happy Father’s Day
Father’s Day with Rivaan.
He’s trying to teach me “NO CAP”.
I’m trying to convince him I’m still cool.
Neither is going very well. 😂
Happy Father’s Day.

Today we celebrate Monica. ❤️
Behind every GOAT, there’s a Monica.
The support, the strength, the calm in the chaos and, as Sid very seriously tried to say… “the force behind the ride.” 😂
Watch till the end as this serious birthday message takes a turn.
Turns out she’s been driving this thing all along.
Happy Birthday to the woman behind so much of what GOAT is today.
Happy Birthday, Monica ❤️

TWO YEARS - TWO HATS - ONE PROUD GOAT
Last night, GOAT by Sid Chopra was awarded Two Hats at the Cuisine Good Food Awards.
We built GOAT with a clear purpose: to showcase regional Indian food with pride, personality and absolutely no compromise. Every service, every plate and every detail has demanded hard work from a team that believes deeply in what we are doing.
To have that work recognised with Two Hats makes us incredibly proud.
This belongs to our entire kitchen and front-of-house family. To our suppliers, our guests and everyone who continues to back GOAT, thank you.
A special thank you to K E L L I B R E T T , Kerry Tyack Cuisine Magazine and cuisinegoodfood for creating such an important platform that celebrates the people shaping New Zealand hospitality.
Two years. Two Hats. And we are only getting stronger.

This year, we’ve created a menu that tells the story of India through its regions, one course at a time.
From the streets of Delhi with our Dahi Chaat Bomb, to the pepper-laced flavours of Tamil Nadu, the coastal spices of Kerala, the royal kitchens of Kashmir, and comforting classics from Old Delhi and Bengal, every dish has a place and every plate has a story.
Choose your own main, gather around the table, and experience the regional flavours that inspire everything we do at GOAT.
Restaurant Month Menu
$75 per person
Optional cocktail pairing $49
Available throughout August

What people say
At GOAT by Sid Chopra, diners are invited to embark on an extraordinary culinary adventure that showcases the rich and diverse flavors of Indian cuisine. Located at 12 Wyndham Street in Auckland, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience innovative dishes that push the boundaries of traditional Indian fare.
One standout dish that exemplifies the restaurant's creative approach is the Bharwan Tandoori Zucchini. This delightful offering takes stuffed vegetables to new heights with its smoky tandoori zucchini filled with spiced moong dal, coconut, and caramelized onions. Served on a vibrant bed of saag gravy and topped with a zesty garlic-chilli corn tadka, every bite delivers an explosion of flavors—spicy, smoky, creamy, and crunchy—all harmoniously combined for a truly memorable dining experience.
In addition to its remarkable food offerings, GOAT also features a carefully curated drink menu. The return of the iconic Meetha Paan cocktail has been met with enthusiasm from patrons. This nostalgic favorite has been reimagined with finesse, providing a refreshing sip that captures the essence of its original charm while elevating it to new levels.
With its inviting atmosphere and commitment to quality, GOAT by Sid Chopra promises an unforgettable meal that will leave you craving more. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine or simply looking for something new and exciting, this restaurant is sure to impress. Come hungry and prepare to be amazed!
