Got a voucher from Groupon. Honestly one of the best deals I've gotten. The sizzling platter alone as our appetizer was enough to satisfy us. We tried curried we've never had and we weren't disappointed. The staff and manager were very polite and gave excellent service. It felt like they were well trained in hospitality. Even when we were having problems scanning the voucher, they were very professional about it.will definitely come back
Thank you Delight spices for a splendid evening. Every dish made with lots of flavour and love. Compliments to the chef and also the manager and His family. Recommended to all lovers of indian food.
Great place to be....amazing ambience....and greattttttttttttttt food specially butter chicken and palak paneer.....
Great environment for family and friends.....kudos to the team and management....
The BEST Indian food we’ve come across in Auckland so far. Really friendly and helpful service and everything seems to be cooked fresh.
Great okra curry!! Excellent service. Very polite staff
Great place to eat when dining in Auckland. Hard to fault.
From the service to the food, this place exceeded expectation. The guy that took my order and also delivered the food was great. Food was so good. Will be coming back again.
Staff very lovely and friendly. Food was just amazing..
The food is really tasty and we loved the service. The manager was very helpful and made sure we were well looked after. The overall ambience of Delight Spice is very relaxing. Good music playing, decent interior and amazing food altogether gave us a great experience. We would definitely love to visit this place again.
Portion size was good. I ordered daal makhni in medium and it was a good spicy for me. Very creamy but not too much. Tasted authentic. Paneer methi malai was a bit bland and could be more aromatic but still it was good.
The food here is amazing everything I’ve ordered was food I been here a few times and it’s great
Very delicious food. Went their with friend on birthday. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff.
Good place to go and have a quick lunch. The lunch menu is superb and the serving is on time.
The food is okay and the staff is friendly.
We ordered a chicken biryani and a mushroom curry. They chicken and mushroom were cooked well, and nice and moist. The rice of the biryani was not as crisp as I would've liked, but the chicken being moist was redeeming enough. The service was adequate and timely. The environment was relatively basic, but no major faults.
So good. A little cramped on the seats but still good
Another great find on ZG. Curries are tasty and authentic. Give free popodums which is a nice touch. Will definitely come back here again.
Chicken recipes are very good.
Special menu they offer during lunch hours is a bargain for the quality of food you get there.
Must check one, you may like it.
Just went there for dinner. The curries were amazing and had very friendly staff. Very affordable place to get a great meal
I’ve made a couple of lunch visits here now. The place is fairly busy on weekdays but I’ve never had a problem getting a table here. The lunch specials! oh my!! They’re great!! The Chicken Mughalai was delish! For the price of their specials, it’s so well worth it and the place is such a pleasure to dine at too - the staff are so kind and friendly :)
Super delicious, and the service is super good and enthusiastic!
Always was a favourite on Uber after trialing many places, but had never actually been in person! The staff are absolutely lovely, so kind! Top notch service, and delicious food every time! Food is served very fast, generous portions and full of flavour :)
Very nice ambient and great food. This place has never let me down. Will come again.

Fantastic service matching fantastic food.
Staff were quick and very pleasant.
Highly recommend the mango chicken curry and the chefs special goat curry, tender and succulent!
All around a wonderful experience, will be returning soon.
This place takes you back to taste of India, open kitchen tidy and clean, good food especially curries, very friendly staff, and not hard on pocket. Management really looks after customers comfort, new furniture for better comfort while you enjoy your meal.
Super lovely team, I was a regular here for years with my husband and miss the food and the great service. Delicious curries, amazing naan and good wine. Good value
I always get their Takeaway curry. It’s decent price and so yummy. I have the Karahi Paneer in medium and it’s delicious! Would recommend to vegetarians
I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. The goat curry is absolutely superb. The staff was very friendly, too. I look forward to trying some of their other dishes.
We ordered delivery but the delivery person was not available so we got a called from the restaurant. Otherwise the food was very delicious. Would definitely order again!
Used to come here every week with my work and the standard of the service is perfect and food is just amazing, staff always making sure you are happy with your food
Me and the wife were looking for a quick bite to eat when we came across this place. What a absolute lovely evening we had and with delicious food!
We ordered two curries (Beef korma and butter chicken) and 2 nan breads. Food was some of the best Indian I’ve had in a while!
The service was excellent as well!
Doesn’t look like much from the outside but make sure you try this place!
Went here for the first time after friends had recommended, and was super impressed! Service was quick, attentive and friendly, and the curry was packed with flavour. Also great value with dinner specials Mon-Wed. Will be back for sure.
Food is yum and affordable. They are very quick for their takeaways customer. This like eating home made food till now I went 3 times and tried different dishes and all of the dishes were very yummm
Love delight spice. Staff are amazing - so friendly and polite. Even though we have only gone about 3 times, we are remembered, along with our order. Really nice atmosphere and is usually quite busy. Great butter chicken, and cheese garlic naan. Also recently tried the tandoori chicken cheese fries which I enjoyed.
Great lunch special at this local Indian place in Newmarket- only $12 for chicken/beef curry, naan and rice.
This place is popular and has fast service. We had the samosas which were fresh, tasty and served with tamarind sauce.
I had the Indian hot beef Madras which was tasty and had a little kick (still could have had more) but would definitely eat again.
The naan bread was outstanding though-light, crispy and flavoursome!
The service here is impeccable. We were greeted with smiles and promptly seated and offered water. The food is great and creamy, full of flavour. The prices for these meals are super reasonable and affordable.
My partner and I had dinner here on Friday night. The Chicken Tikka had a lovely smoky flavour matched with a tangy raita sauce! Would like to have larger bowl size of butter chicken though. We will definitely dine here again!
Good food yummy curries kids can enjoy not too spicy for them. good service nice place to dine with family and friends........................

The food here is really good. I came here expecting good indian food but i was pleasantly surprised when i got way more than what i expected. Furthermore, their prices are great and the servers are very friendly. I will definitely come here again.
The service here is friendly. I went there on a Monday and it was busy. Meaning it has to be good. Haven't seen many indian restaurants in new market. This place is good. I had beef vindaloo with naan and beer. The vindaloo was not that spicy with good quantity.
Compared to other restaurants you can get vindaloo either too spicy or not enough spicy. The vindaloo here was perfect for my taste. Well done chef.
Would def go for a re visit
A regular spot for our Curry Club, Chaahat has consistently provided our company with tasty Indian dishes and a happy office.
On this occasion, we opted to get our meals on the go and to their credit, our meals were still piping hot when they arrived. We had a butter chicken, vegetarian briyani, lamb karahi, and a chicken korma.
The curries were creamy and flavoursome. Naan Bread was a favourite for everybody as it was slightly smoky and fluffy.
However we did order Indian hot for our briyani and it was disappointingly mild. They also forgot our raita which was quite annoying.
Aside from those mistakes, overall we enjoyed the curries and would recommend it as a lunch venue.
Showstopper: Hand rolled Naan bread and a decent amount of chicken in the curries.
Overall Grade: B
My partner and I visit here quite regularly on Wednesday nights. From Monday to Wed, you can get all their mains, including seafood and prawns, for only $10.99 each, including rice. And all their mains always come with a decent serving of meat. We always run out of rice though so have to get some more for $2, which then leaves us with too much and we take it home!
Service is great; and the decor is nice too. If you want to go somewhere not too fancy, not too drab (read - Indian in a food court), then this is definitely the place to go. They always do lunch specials during the week too.
Great food. Tasty curries, naan and rice. Really good price for the quality. $50 for the two of us and we had 2 samosas, Chicken korma and Chicken karahi, two beers and two sides of naan. Attentive service. Definitely woth it
Ordered one Butter Chicken with rice there. As illustrated in my photos, all raw food materials were very fresh. Taste was good and clear. Reasonable price and good service.
This Indian restaurant is a saviour for new market if you do not intend to spend heaps and want a decent meal under $20. They serve some lovely curries and service is excellent. Being an indian I can gaurantee that the curries are better than a lot of restaurants who serve at the same price range. The hosts suggestions are great and price is very affordable. they even have a very cheap lunch menu for just $12. I keep going back here and surely recommend.
Excellent service. Vegetarian sizzling platter at beginning very nice. Good layout, comfortable. The two curries we had (mushroom matar, fish masala) both really nice and just the right amount of food. Most enjoyable little restaurant, I recommend it if you like Indian food.
Absolutely fantastic place. The food and service were both incredible. The waiter did not stop smiling and was extremely helpful in explaining which dishes were vegan friendly for my friend. Furthermore, the service was extremely quick, we had our food in record time. Great selection of vegetarian options which were all delicous and very reasonably priced. I'd rate them higher but the smell of the chemicals used to clean the tables were overwhelming when being cleaned. Absolutely top notch place, definitely recommend popping in for a visit.
We come for the lunch specials. $10 for curry rice and naan. Butter chicken is really good. The korma doesnt taste like other kormas but still has a good flavour. Had a bit of my sisters lamb spinach curry dish, the lamb was so tender and lovely. The service is nice and friendly and the lunch comes out fast. Will have to try their dinner.

Yummy fish gravy n rice.
Biryani is nice too but can b better.
I visited this place quite often n overall the food n service is good, under $11 for a combo
An extra star for the super honest and great service. The food was good but it was too spicy for us. However the staff was very friendly. They gave us complementary curry and lots of gulab jamuns to compensate the spicy food. I must say a great place to visit.
Chaahat boasts the best Indian place in my neighbourhood, Newmarket. Here's a new Hindi word of the day: Chaahat, or Chahat, means, 'love' or 'affection'. How pretty. The attractive bright blue lights hung outside the restaurant reminds me a lot of the Nite Spice Indian restaurant in the neighbouring suburb of Mt Eden, and for quite a long time until recently I used to confuse the two.
Went here for dinner and was very impressed with the affordability, great service and delicious food. Only $58 for two people with drinks, entrées and mains. Will definitely be back- couldn't understand why it was so quiet.
This is a great place for a night of good service and hearty Indian food. Monday to Wednesday they have all the Indian dishes on the dinner menu for $10 each, which makes this place really awesome cheap eats value too.
Went on a Wednesday evening, where it was a bit quiet at 7pm, but a lot of people coming in and out for takeaway and chatting really happily with the staff so clearly they have a lot of loyal regulars. Always a good sign!
My go-to comfort dish from here is from their Indo-Chinese menu, which aren't part of the dinner specials but are worth the $15.50 in my opinion. The Chinese Style Noodles come in a huge bowl, with large chunks of chicken and endlessly slurpable noodles. The sauce and noodles are so good, particularly on chilly evenings; I'm craving it again now as I'm writing this.
Came here a while back. I remember the worker, I assume was the owner was very nice. It was quiet and sets the mood especially at night. Food was alright but I like the service. We ordered too much food for two stomachs to handle but it was good either way. The man was so nice he even gave me a sambuca shot 😊 ended the night pretty good.
Had dinner here took some colleagues here for a team dinner, I come for the butterchicken because it's rich and creamy. If I want indian food I come to Newmarket chaahat for a meal. Great atmosphere and the staff and friendly. Yum!
A very nice Indian restaurant on a busy street and in a good location. The food is good and the staff is friendly. Will go again in future.
I love Indian and oh my aren't these guys great. Monday - Wednesday cheap curry for $10 and tastes amazing ! Can go out for date night and please me with some exotic flavours and person 2 who prefers plain and quantity. We usually order butter chicken and lamb korma plus garlic cheese naan! They give you large portions and very prompt service. Have been 3 times now plus a few takeaway occasions and can't beat the cheap eat out. There's generally not to many people so can usually get a seat. It's not fine dining but for what you pay its a decent meal out and would recommend this to others :)
yesterday i went with my family and we ordered different curries really Food was awesome and price was also affordable,
At the end can say that we enjoyed a lot...... :-)
This is like second home to me whenever I miss Indian food. The service is impeccable and the manager is super friendly. I am a fan of their butter paneer and basically all other dishes.
Their Monday-Wednesday $10 dinner and Saturday $10.99 lunch deals are to die for :D
Food and service is Excellent!!! Nice environment, and very friendly staff, best Indian restaurant ive ever been in, and ive been in many. Very affordable too! I definitely would recommend this to everyone!
This is our usual when we feel like a decent curry. Portions are right, they make it perfectly spicy (we love our curry to have a decent kick to it) and best of all the staff are extremely friendly and the service is amazing. BYO is a bonus too! Keep it up guys, the name may have changed but it's still the same awesome food and experience.
Best butter chicken I've ever had. I've tried butter chicken at dozens of Indian places. This wins by far. The owner is very passionate about his restaurant and it shows.
Had a work dinner here tonight, the staff were not only friendly and attentive but they also had the timing between our starters and mains absolutely perfect. The food allowed for every range of heat with the added heat available if required. Would definitely come here again.
Came here tonight for the first time and I just have to say it was great! Beautifully cooked food, lovely place, good price and great customer service! Will definitely come back again!
I was first introduced to this curry place a few years ago for a friend's birthday and have been doing there every since. Everyone I've taken here has also enjoyed it and requested to go back. I've had both vegetarian and meat curries and dessert, and haven't tasted something I didn't like. This is definitely my favorite curry shop. The staff are also wonderful. Quick and polite.
Awesome food, awesome stuff, everything is awesome about this place! Highly reccomended. The tastiest curry I've ever had.
Very cute small but very busy restaurant. They always have cheap meal deals on like $10 lunch. The service is always impeccable and you are greeted the second you walk in. The food is always made hot and fresh and they have a look in kitchen where you can watch the chef make the breads. This little place is an excellent place to eat lunch or dinner and I am a happy regular here. Would definitely recommend!
Great $10 specials Mon-Wed, always very quick and the curries are great. Excellent Chilli Chicken & Butter Chicken, with very generous portions. Our new local for a quick, tasty curry!
The food is outstanding, the menu is affordable, and their quality of service is the best I've ever experienced in Auckland. Simply amazing! Despite the busy location in Newmarket, the restaurant is usually quiet and has a very nice mood and ambience to it. I highly recommend their butter chicken and tikka masala.
Lunch specials are very good value for money, I quite often get sagawala or their butter chicken. Service is quite speedy and waiters are friendly and accommodating, it gets a bit cramped though during busy lunch times so might pay to book ahead for larger groups. If you see some random dancing to Bollywood music vids playing on tv, that is probably me O_o chur.
We eat here at least once a week and it is always amazing. Great food, great service what more can you ask for! $10 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday is really good value :-)
This is the best Indian food that we have ever had in NZ. All the people we have taken here agree it is just awesome!!
We regularly go to Nite Spice and all agree - Auckland doesnt offer any better than this! The food is fresh, hot and well priced. The staff are friendly and only too happy to help. The $10 evenings are great and you've gotta try the Prawn Masala and Peshwari Nan!! Enjoy!
fast service, tasty food and staff hardworking and keen to please..
Amazing value.. will be back soon!
This is our favorite Indian restaurant, we try to go at least every week or two.
The prices are reasonably better than other Indian restaurants.
The service is fantastic and very pleasant.
Food is full of flavor, we have tried at least half of the menu, and we have never been disappointed yet!!
Really great Indian food, well done!!
Fantastic Indian food - really fresh and delicious. The service is excellent and the pricing is very reasonable. You can't go past the tandoori platter, chicken tikka masala or the yummy filled naans. Highly recommended to anyone!
I probably order a meal here once a week. The pricing is great, the service is excellent, and the food is bang on. Tried the chilli chicken last night and it was perfect. Every time I order I am very happy with what I get. Gotta love locally owned and operated joints. Ali and Dee are great. Looking for ethnic food in Newmarket, then don't go past this place.
great food and free delivery to local addresses, butter chicken is my favourite.

I've been here twice now for dinner and am surprised it doesn't have a higher rating. Both meals were great especially for the low price of $12.99 for any curry (I believe the lunch special is $10.99 including a drink!) all curries come with rice. I've had the Saag (Chicken) before and a chicken dish with pineapple and cherries (I can't remember what it is called and it's not on the menu above) and both were delicious. The medium was pretty hot for me, although at the level it should be. It's not an upper class establishment but it's not run down either, just your run of the mill restaurant with fantastic food, service and prices. Would definitely recommend!
If you love food, recipes and healthy living check out my blog for more information :) www.moveloveeat.com
amazing food, service and atmosphere!! enjoyed everything we ate and would definitely eat here again 😋
Loved it!! The food was reasonably priced and very flavorsome. The naan was fresh and yummy, my rice fluffy, and my beef was falling apart. Of course, me happy after inhaling my lunch 🤣. I also had a mango lassi that was 😋.
Definitely worthy of a second and third visit.
Great food, caring host. Although it was a new setup for brunch, and a Easter weekend, not lot of staff, but they managed with great energy and passion. Although the chhole were bit over salted, I will still give them another visit.
The most amazing Indian food that you can get! Chicken Angara, Chicken Changezi, keema Pav and what not! Clearly the most authentic Indian food that I have had in NZ so far!
Very unlike of the typical Indian restaurants where you get the same menu with pre-made sauces and choice of protein with it, Delight has some other options which take you right to the old Delhi streets!
Wonderful and a must try!
Yasser bhai is the most amazing person as the manager of this place. Great food, impromptu service makes all the money and time spent, worthwhile. Highly recommended for people who want try Desi Cusine with great taste buds 💯❤️

Been going here for years and they're consistently good! Shame to see it a bit quiet on a Friday night recently but I walked in and the cashier was lovely :)
Chicken Biryani, Mattar Paneer and Butter Chicken here is faultless. They even gave me some free poppadoms since I uber eats from there alot 😂
My search for the best chole bhature in Auckland finally ended here. Liked the keema pav and absolutely loved the goat curry. The only downside is that these dishes are only available Saturday mornings.

I went there a Friday night and the place was quite crowded. It seem to be quite popular. I had a butter chicken, tikka chicken fries and garlic naan. It was a really good place, I really liked the environment as well as the food, which was really nice. The staff were really nice. I recommend this place.
What an amazing expierence working with Delight Spice! We had a big order in for our office for a dinner event and communicating with them was so swift and clear - any questions or request we had was met with a polite and timely response! The food was incredibly aromatic and tasty, we had all our curries selected at medium spice and it was absolutely perfect, a nice heat and good flavors. The desserts and side menu options were delicious as well, with the naan and papadoms being a favourite. Delivery was on time and we were met with great kindness and a helpful attitude, I'm very grateful to the team at Delight spice for making our evening and event so lovely with their food and service, the reviews speak for themselves!
Delicious food. We had the mutton, butter chicken, two naans, a mango lassi and a sweet lassi. All were delicious!
Great place to experience Indian food at its finest. The different spices and heat you wouldnt normally get at other indian resturants. Goat Curry is 10/10 cooked only by the owner. 🔥🔥
Staff were helpful and knowledgeable about gluten free options. Curries were excellent and papadam were perfectly crispy! Would highly recommend it!
We felt like Indian food the other night and discovered this place was here when looking for something nearby. We had never heard of this place before. We were very happy with the food and the service was great. Very friendly staff. I’ll definitely be back!
Best chole bhature, plain lassi and masala chai in Auckland. Chole were Delhi style, reminds you of street corner dhaba yet the decor, especially outdoors takes you to by lanes of Rajasthan. Very welcoming hosts, who would not tire keeping you entertained. What else can you ask for
The food is always delicious no matter what I order. Staff is so welcoming. Starters like chicken 65 and fish sizzler is to die for👌
Amazing service and the food was not too expensive and really yum. Highly recommend the tandoori chicken cheese fries, I did not expect it to be so yum. The food portions are delicious as well and the staff is super friendly. The toilets are outside which was a bit strange but not a big deal. Over all highly recommend.
Nice ambience, delicious food, and friendly host. A very unique weekend Brunch menu. Loved the authentic Chole Bhature.
