Born out of an event at last year's Wellington on a Plate, Vaibhav Vishen and Avinash Kaul's Chaat Street serves tapas-style Indian street food made from local ingredients. The eatery's colourful interior takes inspiration from India's Victorian train stations and features plenty of bright turquoise and red; the focus is on quick service and quality food served alongside cocktails, local beer and more. 99 Victoria St, instagram.com/chaatstreetwlg Rotorua-based fashion designer Adrienne Whitewood and husband Hoete Mitai-Ngatai have opened a second location for their Ahu Boutique, which showcases more than 30 businesses specialising in Māori-inspired fashion jewellery and design.
