Bolina

A welcome find on cold wet public holiday. Excellent service and really good food. We we were too full to try the sweets but they look great. …. next time. Lots of seating. Casual dining. Easy to find with lots of parking around the area.

Love coming to this place for a real authentic taste of indian street food and sweets. The service is always quick and courteous. Our server, a young smilng girl, was outstanding. We loved everything we tried. The tea was flavorsome, hot and milky. Samosas, bread pakoras and chana masala eere all outstanding. The textures and the spice level in all the dishes were just perfect. The chutneys complimented the dishes well too. Strongly recommended if you want a flavorsome treat in a casual atmosphere.

Had a lovely,fulfilling brunch experience here at Bolina before heading out on a long drive . It was the only Indian restaurant open at 10am. Honestly, as it’s primarily focused on North Indian cuisine,most of the dishes were extremely delightful. I enjoyed their pani puri , paneer pakoda, tandoori mushrooms,samosa chaat , Gobi paratha a lot,they were super scrumptious. They have a wide selection of Indian sweets in the cabin which looked absolutely decadent,out of which we tried rasamalai, we were in awe of it’s flavour that took us back home. Service was fast and the staff was extremely polite and courteous. It’s a great and comfortable atmosphere. Being a South Indian ,few dishes like idli,dosa and uthappam didn’t make it’s mark like the other ones but I’d look forward to visit here again when in town .

The food is absolutely delicious! Ordered papdi chaat and gobi manchurian for starter and palak paneer and butter paneer for main. All the food was so tasty and came out fairly quickly. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is good too with nice punjab music :Food: 5/5

I am big fan of sweets Mithai and really loved Pista Burfi from this restaurant and recommended to many people but on 28th of May I bought pista Burfi which was bad in taste, I could feel sugar crust at top layer while eating that's sign of under done. There was strange smell like a flavor added as in extra quantity which produced a bad smell while eating. I gave low stars to customer service because I didn't get change even that was in cents. I writing this comment just because I love see that quality again. Thanks

Ordered the Thali 1 through Doordash. Everything was really delicious and filling. Will definitely be ordering again in the future.Food: 5/5

Went there during a week day in the evening. Just few people were there. Everything was fast. Coming to the important part, the food. It's the second Indian restaurant I went to in Christchurch. And it was better than expected. Exact taste from India and not kiwi oriented. Will be going in again. More update to follow.

Amazing vegetarian Indian food. Very friendly staff. The Indian sweets they had were delicious. Will go back again. Thank you for a good night.
