$15 for a $30 Food & Beverage Voucher at Jewel of India Mission Bay (value $30)

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +1300

While the sort of culinary inevitability built into ethnic food might be expected of any Asian restaurant, the Jewel of India aims for authenticity and simplicity. Despite the fact that Auckland is overrun by Indian eateries, with many coming and going with the tide, the Jewel of India has stood the test of time, and remains one of Auckland’s originals. Today you can grab a $30 food and beverage voucher for just $15!

Jewel of India is a traditional Indian Restaurant in the seaside suburb of Mission Bay, Auckland. The award winning restaurant has long been recognised as the premier Indian establishment on the Auckland waterfront with Indian, vegetarian and Jain meals served. They have been serving traditional Indian food to their patrons since 1990. It is hardly surprising that with a nation of such complexity and sheer vastness, the definition of Indian food is, at best, elusive. Certainly, Indians are masterful with spices, blending ultimate combinations tailored to each dish. The chefs at Jewel of India utilise ancient traditional ingredients to anchor the menu, dishes are richly flavoured and individually created to please your distinct tastes. The food here is taken seriously and pushes Indian cooking to a level much higher than most.

Authenticity and simplicity is what the new all-time-favourite menu aims for, giving savvy diners an opportunity to pick and choose from their colourful menu. The meat, poultry and seafood dishes set the tone and are intricately flavoured with herbs and spices preserving the character of each dish depending on which part of India it originated from. Try the butter chicken, fish tikka or the mango kulfi. Delish.

The miracle of aviation is truly something to behold. For countless centuries humans have looked skyward at their feathered friends with pure envy, and worked to solve the mystery of flight.

You'll learn to fly your body, control the parachute and land the canopy. This course leads on to solo skydiving.

Once you've jumped with the Skydive Ballistic Blondes, it's said you become part of the family. What better family to be a part of, then, than one that's strapped to your back 12,000 feet over Northland!

For a little bit extra on the day you can also purchase a DVD or photographs that feature YOU falling out of the plane, and prove to your friends and family that you've actually done it!

Sleepless nights and an imagination that won't quit. No you didn't hear anything and no you didn't just see a man standing outside your house. It's just the result of frights and spooky music. Of course, if you can handle the scares then you might just be interested in this awesome deal.

At Transylvania Minigolf you can play a game of horror-themed mini-golf for only $7. The glow in the dark aura will have you jumping out of your skin as you try your best to make par within creepy surroundings.

Post offices are a necessity of daily life, not necessarily somewhere you go to enjoy yourself (although you might be a stamp collector in which case, fair play).

Post offices are where to go to test your patience at waiting in a queue at undoubtedly the busiest time of the day when they only have one member of staff on. Well today GrabOne is here to reinvent the post office - thanks to the Kiwi genius of Mac's breweries.

Today grab a $35 food and beverage voucher at Mac's Union Post, Ellerslie for just $15 and prepare to soak up your surroundings over delicious food and what Mac's is famous for - their beer.

Mac's Union Post used to live as a post office in the 1900s and this is where Mac's have drawn their inspiration for the decor from. With an outdoor seating area complete with cushioned seats, benches and parasols, you're well set up for a break this summer. Or choose to huddle inside on the big, comfy armchairs. Union Post's menu is crammed full of home cooked favourites with everything from roast lamb salad to crumbed king prawns. There's also Italian inspired pasta, including ravioli and open lasagne, and a full pizza menu to choose from. Enjoy a trip to the post office for a change with today's deal.
