I dont do reviews , this must be my first ever. No I didn't get paid or even expect a discount for this ! :) I have been going here for over 20 years and every time it has been excellent. I have Airbnb guests and I never hesitate to send them here - or get a delivery. Dutch well traveled guests , only last week, proclaimed Sages No 2 in the World , being 2nd perhaps to a Curry they had in Nepal. Another jet setter guest ..Bruce had this to say in my AirBnB review .. "Arrived in from Istanbul with two friends. Had wonderful vino reception from Peter before walking to a fabulous neighbourhood Indian restaurant, Sages. A memorable evening.".... The staff are also great , and remember what I like .. which is useful as the old eyes cant read the small print easily. Highly recommend a Kingfisher Strong in the tall bottle , just works with Curry. ( Just spotted I have done a review and it was for Sages .. .. "my Hawaiian AirBnB guests loved it" )
Definitely recommend! All dishes we got were delicious. They have great vegetarian options too. Been here a few times and is always great. Will be back for sure.
Personally I think Sages has the best Butter Chicken and garlic naan (I can't say in Auckland because I haven't tried everywhere that serves Butter Chicken and garlic naan). one of my favourite places to eat.
I must say this place for place for enjoying mouth-watering Indian food in Auckland. I just loved their seafood delicacies, really amazing!!!!
This is the best Indian restaurant in Auckland, I must say! I just loved their Indian cuisine specially the meat and chicken dishes. Very happy with the behavior and attentiveness of their staffs
.
I would definitely meet them again very soon. Thanks to their specially spiced delicious Indian food in Auckland! They combine good food with amazing ambience. sages Indian restaurant just make it happen.
I would definitely recommend visiting and spice up this restaurant for enjoying tasty of Indian cuisine vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
My girlfriend and I had a nice experience here. The staff were very friendly and polite and the setting was nice. One thing that we thought could have been better was that many other Indian Restaurants serve complimentary Poppadoms whilst you wait for your meal. Not this one. And the meal did take a while to arrive, somewhere in the order of 20-30 minutes for two curries. But the curries were very nice, good flavour and quantity. Overall we felt that we would come back if we were in the area and wanting Indian again.
Best Indian takeaways I've had this side of Mount Roskill!
Quick, delicious and generous succulent portions!
Heaps of interesting vegetarian options as well.
The whole place smells great like fresh ingredients, and the staff seemed friendly.. looking forward to dining in sometime soon. :)
Sages is "my local" Indian restaurant, and I've enjoyed their food for the last six or seven years.
Eating in their decor and speed of service is relatively good, and I also frequently get takeaways. I appreciate the delivery as well.
I've had a variety of their curries, all are good. The only issue I've had is the onion bhaji can be inconsistent - sometimes slightly undercooked. Usually great though!
Good quality food at reasonable prices. A place I visit frequently for my daily food needs. Try the Achari chicken, it's excellent. They have good deals from Sunday to Tuesday at $12
Went with three others and shared the 'Sages Banquet' meal. We had a giant bowel of rice to share plus four different curries to dig into, plus a small platter for starters. Each dish was deliciously creamy and full of flavour, and even though there was four of us in total, we couldn't finish the food that was bought out and were allowed to take away the left overs. Best Indian in Auckland!
We went to Sages for dinner and we were blown away from the flavour of the food. The butter chicken and the Chicken Korma were both full of flavour and beautiful. The service and the decor were great overall and the waitress made sure we were looked after. Excellent service!
Very good Indian food. Very authentic with great flavours and good Kiwi service. The potato balls in curry are very good as is the good old butter chicken and palak paneer.
We have been faithful Sages Restaurant fans over a decade and they never fail to disappoint. The food is delicious, the service is great and the prices are reasonable. We have tried Indian food at many places in New Zealand and have found nothing better than Sages.
I visited Sages for the first time recently, and was very impressed. I'm a huge fan of Indian food, but there are a lot of mediocre restaurants around. Thankfully, Sages isn't one of them. The food was delicious, and my companions and I will definitely return to try more of the menu. Highly recommended.
Great food, nice layout and friendly service. One of the best Indian meals I have had. Also I like their delivery service
Excellent menu choice. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.
I would say it would be one of the best Indian cuisine restaurants i have been to in Auckland.
Friends were really keen for us to try this place as they are regulars. We were not disappointed.
The six of us ordered a complete range of dishes to share from the menu and all were tasty, fresh and excellent. Service was friendly with a smile.
Worth travelling to if you want a change from your local favorite Indian.
Sages are my "local" Indian restaurant. I've eaten in quite a few times, and the service and food has always been great - I particularly like the cosy, warm atmosphere in the restaurant.
We order takeaways about once a week, either picking up or making use of their great delivery service. The curries are always yummy, and we're particularly fond of the onion bahji and pakora as side dishes. I recommend the mango chicken, chicken tikka masala and lamb saagwala.
The food is fantastic and is very reasonably priced. We thought the service was great, they were very friendly and had a laugh with us. We have eaten in and ordered take away and have never been disappointed.
Sages has to be the best Indian restaurant in Auckland. Not only are Karen and Jamahl excellent, friendly host the food is absolutely great! I have visited Sages on over 20 occasions and have never had a bad experience. Only regret that since moving out of the area I do not get there as often.
Totally excellent REAL indian food
excellent service
actually it’s the best indian food in Auckland -
Wonderful place to dine with great atmosphere! Loved it. Have to be one of the best Indian restaurant I have dined in regards to the atmosphere ever.great service,great food. Would never have expected this treasure in the middle of Pt. Chevalier Will definitely be back and would be perfect for a function like a wedding or any other party.
Great yummy food & great friendly service with reasonable prices.My work colleagues & I had a wonderful time & look forward to our next dining experience! Well done Sages
This is the best curry shop around, the owners are really cool and sweet. They always say hello which is rare these days. I love the food, the best indian food around. I hope u guys have successful business,u r the best, ur a couple of sweeties
Went for the Sages Banquet, they were flexible enough to change one of the main options for us. There were three of us and the entrees and mains were more than sufficient in size,and all were very tasty.
Karen is an excellent hostess and have no trouble in recommending this restaurant to others, well priced, good selection of dishes and all very tasty
Sages went through a purple patch, lost it a bit and has rebounded with style. Best pick a night when the spare chef isn't on, as he oversalts everything, but on song, this place thoroughly justifies the Metro Award it got a couple of years ago.
highly recommend the Chicken -Madras and -Tikka Masala, but everything is good, fresh and well-made. Competitive pricing, great service and the best naans in Auckland. It's all good!
Dine in, one of my favourite Biryani's.
Sets the benchmark like home made.
Will put a smile after every bite.
Ordered chicken tikka masala and it was good. Thick sauce and good mix of meat and capsicum. Rice was also fluffy and delicious. Mango lassi was also nice. Just odd to have it topped with chocolate powder. Soothing background music. Just pricey.
Normally I place a phone order for pick up but last time when I made an online order for delivery they accidentally missed my order. After a long wait for 1hr 53m I got my food with complementary crispy chips, and they offered 10% discount for next order. Anyway I’m highly likely to go back there for only one reason that their curry & nann are super tasty. definitely recommended.

Sages Restaurant review
Up until recently my only experience with Indian cuisine had come from shopping malls and the odd take out. That all changed when a friend invited me to review Sages in Point Chevalier.
Food
The Mango Chicken I ordered was one of the best meals that I have had for a while. The meat was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of spices that helped to enhance the dish, without overpowering it. Everything I ate just seemed to come to life, from the moist and tender chicken, to the crispiness of the garlic Naan Bread.
Part of that is down to the work of co-owner and chef Kamal Jhajj, who insists on using only the best ingredients in the dishes he creates, to the point where he’ll close the kitchen if he doesn’t have access to the freshest foods available.
Setup
The restaurant itself is deceptively nondescript, from the outside but becomes warm and inviting once I stepped through the front door. The low lighting and dark red wallpaper really gives Sage’s a romantic vibe that I liked a lot.
The staff were friendly and efficient, with Kamal regularly coming out to see how we were, although I suspect it may have been because it was a slow Wednesday night.
Conclusion
As a reviewer I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to give restaurants a perfect 10, but Sage’s really nails it with its friendly service, delicious offerings, and romantic ambiance.
10/10
Even I needed wait longer than was suggested it Worth. The food was delicious. Very well made and well served... didn't lost the taste even in level 3. Do recommend it
HOT TIP!!! If you're getting home delivery, order on menu log it's about 20% cheaper. Great food as always!!
Seriously great Indian cuisine. Only ever had takeaways so can't speak to the service or dining in but I haven't exoerience consistency like this anywhere else. Perfect 🤌🏽
My experience after many years of stopping by sages to pick up has consistently been a blessing to my week. Filling, rich and fantastic food is a handful of the words that I would use to describe the meals I’ve enjoyed over the years which I’ve eaten here. At this point it is a staple in my diet, something I enjoy regularly.
We've had food from here a number of times now and every time they've knocked it out of the park. Taste, quality, quantity all superb. Lamb biryani, Garlic naan, mango lassi, butter chicken (more tomato coming through on the flavours, best one I've had). Last but definitely not least the Gulab Jamun which has unexpectedly ruined every other Gulab Jamun for me. Nothing has measured up since.
It's not the cheapest but it's definitely worth every penny. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu.
Nice food, good atmosphere and service. Not too pricey. Recommended, will be going again
Had a lovely lunch here with a friend. Friendly service. We had the lamb curry with spinach (forgot the name) and the Aloo Gobi. Very tasty. Good portions, standard pricing. I think the takeaways are a little cheaper and have some special combos. We asked for medium but it was quite mild, would ask for at least Kiwi hot if you want a bit of spice.
I've been ordering Sages Curry for must be 20 years and their food is always great. Super tasty and great delivery on a Tuesday night in Level 3. Our meal turned up a the time we ordered through the online ordering system. The naan was delicious and fresh and the curries yummy.
Wonderful,warm place for a great evening with family..lovely food and the chicken dishes are amazing
Lovely ppl, have the best customer service. Food is worth the money.
Always trouble them at coming late but they still take care of everything.
Will be back many times. 🙂
