This is the best Indian food I had in NZ. if you are travelling up north and looking for a good Indian food, I bet this is the one. We also took a detour for this and it’s worth it.nnEdit 1: Another stop here on return. Everyone was happy, we being for getting yummy food, they seeing smiling faces.
On our way back to Auckland, we had dinner here. Definitely a much authentic taste of home food. The owners are friendly and food is affordable. Highly recommend !
Coming from Auckland, we didn't consider practically everything in Kaitaia closes around 9. We needed to get dinner last-minute 10-15 minutes before they closed and the manager Amit was VERY helpful & accommodating - confirmed our order for takeaway, had the staff stay longer & prepare what was possible, apologized for the outspoken chef which I didn't mind; we were late, not their problem, talk to them about customer service... was pleasant to speak to.nnThe food was all fresh - the Butter Na'an & Chicken Tikka Masala were absolutely AWESOME but the Biryanis weren't exactly your typical Biryanis... plus, their Medium spice actually gets a lot of chilli, specifically in the Biryani it seems like... especially due to the lack of Raitha, which didn't help in our case. However, they were appreciable quantities for the reasonable prices and even in all the hurry, they didn't forget the plastic cutlery & tissues.nnAll in all, though, a positive experience and I'd definitely recommend this place... if we're ever back, we'd like to dine-in as everything seemed very comfortable, looked welcoming & appealing and had a really good atmosphere.
The food was so delicious, we ordered a variety of dishes and all of them were so good and full of flavour! Highly recommend best in town!
The food is beautiful, menu needs a little work to sort out the typos but if you know what you want you can't go wrong. Highly recommend. Will definitely eat here again
