Smart India Tandoori Restaurant

The food was absolutely awesome and delicious. We had mix of vegan and meat dishes. Normally don't tend towards veg/vegan options as a meat lover but the Mushroom pea korma with coconut was devine. The chicken and lamb dishes were both wonderfully tender, you can tell the spices are actually whole spices instead of just powder because the remnants of the spices are visibility present in the dish. The flavour of each curry was distinct, and really showcased the ingredients used in the dish. The very friendly and lovey staff provided excellent service. Well done you earn your self a regular customer

We went for dinner after spending good time on beach. Obviously, we were tired and craving for good food. At entry, we were a bit surprised as there were not many people in the restaurant. However, the food served was great! Here are the details about the items we ordered: Paneer Tikka: one the best paneer tikka we had in New Zealand, it was juicy, smokey and well marinated. The balanced taste or mustard and other spices was awesome. Paneer Kadhai: It was awesome again, it had a smokey flavour and taste of whole spices was great! Daal tadka: I think it was mixed daal and the tadka was icing on the cake! The rich taste of Jira and garlic was there in every bite. Tandoori Roti: again perfect roti was served. It was hot, soft and most improtatnly did not taste like maida. The service and atmosphere was great too! It was a wonderful experience. Its a perfect place for anyone looking for authentic Indian food! I would visit again whenever in Tauranga or Mount Manganui. Cheers!

We went here last night, wow what a pleasant surprise! The curries we ordered were both exquisite, we both shared what we had and they were delicious. The naan bread was lovely too, not too thick and doughy. The waiting staff were good too, with the chef coming to check we were enjoying our meals, also very friendly. It does not disappoint, good value to for money too!

It was my first time to visit here but I feel like they didn’t value their customer, maybe you guys make an effort on the customer satisfaction .. Thank you...Recommended dishesSamosas

This is the best Indian restaurant in Mount Maunganui ! Hands down, staff are so polite and friendly and the food is always perfect. Love supporting small businesses like this. Was highlight of our after bland food on the cruises. Normally don't post reviews but I had give this feedback. We will definitely be coming back one day.

I was told by 2 different people that Smart India was the best Indian in Mt Maunganui so I decided to try it for myself and can confirm the meals have been beautiful! Good portions and reasonably priced, and the owner is very friendly. Well located with good parking outside

Honestly one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to. The service was exceptional and incredibly friendly. Went with the mushroom masala which I thought was a bit of a rogue choice but ended up being phenomenal. Fantastic place and worth the visit. Big up.

I have been going to this restaurant for 8 years now and taken numerous friends and groups with me and every single time we have had the best Indian food around. Not only myself but everyone accompanying me has remarked on the quality and authenticity of the food. The service is gorgeous as it is a family run business. I honestly urge people to go!!! Vegetarian options: A large selection of beautiful vegetarian options Kid-friendliness: Always families and children dining Parking: Parking all around in close by side streets

Best Indian restaurant in Tauranga by far! The staff are super friendly and food is always really quick for both dine in and takeaway. I absolutely love the Lamb Biryani, Butter Chicken & Masala & my husband's go to's are Lamb Sagwala, Goat Vindaloo & Cheesy Garlic Naan. We come here every week or other week and are never disappointed. I would not bother going anywhere else in the Mount or Tauranga and would reccomend to anyone.

We bought Balti chicken and garlic naan. Chicken was prepared in authentic way, no food color and extras were used. Amazing authentic taste. 10/10 guys. Kudos!!Food: 5/5
