100% best indian food I've had in the city. The chickpea vegetarian meal I had was fantastic. I will definitely be back and will recommend it to everybody I know as the place to go.

The staff are so kind and accommodating, and the food is absolutely incredible! Love all of the vegetarian options but the Kadai Paneer is by far my favorite. Make sure to get their amazing garlic naan!

Good deal for the price, although I do feel the curry seems a bit watered and the meat could be denser. Flavour is okay.

A nice spot in town for a quick curry lunch. I tried their Delhi-style butter chicken – which is medium spice and not sweet like the Westernised butter chicken you get at the mall. It wasn’t a huge portion for $10.90, but I did like the taste and am glad I tried something new. Texture-wise, it would’ve been nice if it was creamier. However, I liked how the rice has some grains in it.

Service was friendly and fast. Would happily recommend for those working in town craving Indian food!

Small place but definitely serves some good indian food. The service was nice and the quantities seemed to be justified by the price. Would recommend for some quick Indian food in the area.

Great quality Indian Curry. The portions are perfect and the flavours are superb. Really like the cheese and capsicum vegetarian curry which goes super well with a Garlic Naan bread. Staff are really friendly and approachable, and the service is quick and efficient. Always my go-to place for Indian food in which they never disappoint.

I ordered the butter chicken , liked how the flavour of the dish was real light not too overpowering. Good place to grab a meal 😊. Customer service was good.

I must say one of the best indian food joints. Tried paneer rice and naan. Creamy paneer curry and rice was just awsome. Just loved the place and food. Good hospitality and quality was good. Must try their chai if you are a tea lover. Mixture of elachi and adrak chai. 5 star for the place and good seating arrangements. Loved the ambience and decor. Clean and hygiene restaurant ✌🏾
Kudos team !!

Recently started taking takeaways from this place and to my delight I have found the perfect takeaway joint as their curries have a nice blend of spices and flavour and the Parathas are yum , typically home cooked style which stands out from so many other restaurants. One suggestion, they should also start selling bigger portions separately from the usual combos as sometimes one just craves for more and the usual quantity served is little less than the average serving from other restaurants ;)

This place serves one of the best paranthas I have eaten in Auckland and at such a reasonable cost. Love the food and is highly recommended. Try butter chicken and Dal Makhani too. Cheers!

Not normally big on Indian food. Very rich n overloaded with spices that make me feel ill later. Oh plus it's often overpriced imo... BUT gave this place a whirl (at the request of my other half) because they actually had a range of different veg curry options. Menu is pretty simple veg curry w rice for I think 7.90. Try the paneer cheese curry. Creamy n delish. (could go with a few more pieces of veg if being particular) rice was great with it. Got a tandoor roti too and was awesome. Oh then we tried the veg samosa which again was super yummy and mildly spiced. Ate inside and the guy serving us was awesome, very proud of the food, turned the music on for us as soon as we sat down inside. Honestly give it a go. This place has made me intrigued to try some other indian type foods. Great service, yummy food, well located and open late! Only thing I'll add is that there should be a description up for the names of the curry's. I checked before we got there (on Google) but I don't think I'm the norm. It'd help to ensure that ppl pick the option best suited to them. Thanks guys n keep it up!

Probably the best Indian takeaway so far .. the staff are very friendly especially the owner ..

Mutton kasa and Lamb curry are the best according to me do give it a try ...

And for dessert don’t forget to try gulab jaamoon. :)

Reading all others reviews I would like to emphasise that the food at this place is VERY cheap (comparatively) looking at its location and NO ONE should be expecting excellent food OR the same food as you would get in a fine dining Indian restaurant. This is the best home cooked Indian food in Auckland. For people that are very fond of Indian food and especially Indians, know that most of the Indian restaurants and take-away joints serve stale, frozen and expensive food. But you will only get fresh food at The Tandoor!
The Tandoor is run by the most amazing team ever! Manish and his entire team are ALWAYS welcoming each and every customer with a big smile on their face and go out of their way to satisfy everyone's needs. To be very honest, I have never come across such great service even in any top 5 star restaurant in Auckland. They are wonderful and I wish them well for their future!

Limited but decent options for both vegetarians and meat lovers. We ordered a couple of parathas and samosa.The food wasnt hot but warm enough. The service wasn't worth a mention. I had requested atleast a couple of times for pickle and never got one. Wouldn't be my first preference to dine out.

You get typical Indian curries here. Nothing extraordinary but a good place for a quick takeaway meal.

Location is a super advantage for this new place as all the students, office workers and tourists are hanging out around here.

It was one of those days where you plan on eating lunch at a place with your partner, but end up eating completely elsewhere and a different cuisine. Most often you end up regretting it - but not on this occasion. We were totally blown away for more than one reason - courteous staff, value for money and most importantly tasty food. Ordered a chicken tikka masala(hot) lunch special and an Aloo paratha - cost 26.50 NZD, Taste - finger licking good !! 😊. Highly recommend this place. Will definitely go back for more.

I love this place every time. The food is delicious. I’m a student and rarely get to visit Auckland. I need to make a habit of coming here any time I’m visiting my family. My only tip is to make sure you get a vege samosa with whatever you order. If you eat in, the sauce it comes with is delicious.

I loved the chicken briyani. Am already thinking when can I go back for another briyani (: It’s a small shop with one staff handling front of house, so patience is required but the wait only makes the food tastes even better!

I ordered the Dehli Style butter chicken, as I always want to have hot and spicy food. Not bad Naan is good Combo with drink not even $20, I guess it's a good deal in the city centre

I'm a Punjabi and know my curries well. I was on a one-night business trip from Brisbane to Auckland and thought of trying this joint near my hotel. I ordered Mogewala Kukkar, the chef's speciality. Now, this is not a usual dish to be found in the traditional fare of curries but sounded like chef's experiment and allusion to their hometown Moga. I must admit that this curry dish was very quirky and lip-smackingly delicious, possibly the finest I've had in a long time. It had a really interesting blend of different styles of masalas. The chicken was perfectly marinated and went along really well with naan. Try it with an Indian Medium spice level.

I had their Mutton Kasa Combo(with Naan and a soft drink). It's $14.90. Btw, I didn't expect that came with rice as well. lol The curry hid lots of meat! It takes a while for the spice to kick in. If you're not seeing someone after, you'd better choose their garlic Naan. I love it.

Food is served hot. Best garlic naan we’ve tasted so far. The serving is very generous. Location is not too noisy and very near parking spots in the CBD.

Pretty good North Indian food. The lassi was super thick. Probably a little too thick but that's not a big deal. The service was satisfactory and the food was good so 5 stars indeed.

Confirmed this place is great, aside from I didn’t need an Indian to bring me here, by the delicious food. Amazing! And the natural Indian hot milk tea with masala is so delicious!

I almost let the few low reviews put me off this place. Glad my hungry fiancé dragged me in anyway. Best curries! I loved the butter chicken (on both occasions), my other half enjoyed the tikka masala and their own Indian curry. Fairly priced, great location and they use chicken breast meat in their curry (uncommon find with my past experience) highly recommend 😋

Yes, finally got chance to have mixed paratha over here. Just love it. I can say if you are paratha lover this is heaven in NZ. It was 8 NZD a paratha served with mixed achar & cheese. Reasonable price and size.
