$8.50 for butter chicken, rice and naan. You have to be joking right? No jokes foodies, Curry King does the best curry deal I’ve witnessed so far in Auckland and the most awesome thing is that the curry doesnt taste like shit either!
In fact the Butter Chicken is actually one of the best I’ve tasted in Auckland. The curry itself was thick, like those containers of Hummus you would get in the supermarket. In terms of tastes, its on the sweeter side, however I had the medium and the kick really helps with the sweetness. I also love the fact that they dont skimp on the amount of chicken you get. Going through the curry there was easily 6-7 solid chicken pieces.
As great as the curry was, there is a reason the costs was $8.50. The most glaring fact would be that I hate how they cook the rice, its extremely watery and you almost taste the rawness of the starch because you didnt wash your rice properly. Another disappointing aspect was that after the delicious meal, I had to go the bathroom after and the smell that came out was pungent to the least.
I don't want to finish this review, talking about my excrement so I left the best for last. The naan bread was bloody fantastic. Crispy, freshly made and when eaten in combination with the curry, pure bliss.
At $8.50, its hard to resist and once every week is a healthy way to keep your stomach in check.
Great tasting North Indian cuisine, always hot and tasty. I order via Uber eats, and the favourite is always Paneer Makhani, Garlic Naan, and Pakora.
I've tried all the menu items, and I can say all dishes are made with love and care, by a true chef that loves food. Well done team, keep it up!
We ordered a butter chicken and neegiri lamb korma. The place and ambiance is average. Don't expect too high but don't be fooled neither. Its a jewel in the desert. Very nice! Will be back for more.
