Best curry place in town. Have never been disappointed with any meals and have been eating here for years. Mon-Wed is great to dine in with the specials they have.
I've been living in Onehunga for over a decade and I wonder now why the Curry Leaf hadn't made it on my radar. Amazing food, really impressed with the banquet for 2. So much to try and each dish lovely. Added bonus mobile eftpos.
Always great food. Tried many Indians restaurants throughout Auckland and I always come back to Curry Leaf Onehunga, well done guys :)
Awesome Place, Awesome Food, Awesome Service!!!!!
Overall I liked the place as food n ambience, both are great and reasonable as well. Highly recommended....
best curry in NZ!!!! great service and cute with reasonable prices... and did I say best curry ever?!!!
Its our favourite place for dinner between Mon to Wed cause the price of dinner is awesome and its only 5 mint drive from Mangere bridge...highly recommended Curry leaf.,excellent service, short waiting time, and awesome curry varieties...
Great food. We had A lamb and chicken meals. Both were excellent. Rotis were nice also. Everything was as you would expect for a great lunch meal. It was very well priced.

Always excellent service and food. Love this place
Great environment, great experience, authentic food, love it.
Love that they deliver to Mangere Bridge if you order $30 or more. Which is easy for my household.
Everything was yummy. Butter Chicken. Beef Masala. Garlic Naan. Yummmm.
And the give plenty of rice for $5.
Went for a quiet lunch today with a friend. Loved the service and the food was tasty and it didn't take long to come out but we could smell all the delicious aromas while they were cooking.
Wood definitely go for the dinner menu 😁
Been here for lunch a number of times now with work colleagues. The lunch menu is very well priced, extensive, and the food is excellent. Service is great, with the waiters being very friendly and recognised me on my second visit!
We tried this out for dinner one evening and thought it was lovely. The interior decor wasn't really to our taste but the food was great. The price (especially with Zomato Gold) was not only great but the food was also delicious.
Got takeaway butter chicken, tikka masala and garlic naan. Butter chicken and garlic naan was on point. Hubby usually gets butter chicken but decided to change it up with tikka masala which I'm sure was fine but it just can't beat the butter chicken!
Thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. Food was amazing and staff were super helpful catering to my parent's dietary requirements. Can't recommend this place enough!
We were greeted as soon as we stepped in for lunch yesterday. Nice, cozy, clean and modern looking restaurant in the middle of Onehunga Mall road. Waiter was very informant and excellent customer service. We ordered butter chicken (medium hot), butter beef (medium hot), garlic naan, mango lassie and chai tea. This place was recommended to us by an Indian friend for authenticity. Food was delicious. No faults at all with food and service. Good value for money. Highly recommend this place.
My daughter and I come in for the beginning of the week special - all mains for $13.99 excl seafood. We both had the butter chick which was really nice. The sauce was so lovely. The staff were very friendly and polite. Will return
Since moving south of Auckland City, this has become a regular "go to" for a quick and delicious meal out. Both the service and more importantly, the food is consistently good. Highly recommend..
Great curry! Came here on my own after work on Friday as I really felt like Indian food without the hassle of cleaning up afterwards. The place only had a few people inside and I was seated right away. My food came out fast and was absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and attentive but not intrusive. I found it pretty standard priced and left feeling happy and fulfilled. Will definitely be back. The crispy fresh Garlic Naan bread was the star of the show.
This place look even better in the evening.
Best to make table reservation if u have more than 4 people so that they can arrange the table for you accordingly.
The food is really good. We ordered various curry to share and its perfect. The portion is just right for sharing.
The mango lassi drink is a must have.
And they do have special price for certain night. Definitely worth it.
Nice and cosy restaurant. Very good lamb, gorgeous flavours. I quite liked the service style...unobtrusive yet still attentive. Mellow place to eat out, nice as a treat during the week.
Came here for lunch special. Good value for money. Found the korma a tad too sweet. Restaurant looked clean and tidy. The staff were super friendly
The curry flavour is good, used tk be our favourite indian restaurant at the neighborhood yet the meal portion either rice, curry or roti are getting smaller portion for their price. May go back another day to try again. :)
Not like an Indian food but very near to that in term of spicy and masala . I think best Indian food in Auckland better than ooh Calcutta, paradise . My fav are sheek kabab, ghost buna.
Very imp :- quick service.
Called up to order a couple of Lamb Nawabi meals for dinner this evening. Order was taken easily enough. Payment on pick up. Meal was very filling & easily the best Lamb Nawabi I've tasted from an Auckland restaurant. Would recommend & will be returning here in future.

Presently surprised by this VERY small restaurant.
Tables are fairly packed into the space... but not cramped
I ordered the lamb madras,
- the bad
- it was not flavoured as I expected (I'm living in Australia and often order Madras from lots of places - where it is similarly flavoured, brown sauce mixed with coconut cream, this was yellow - more like a korma - with coconut cream, BUT I can except this as a regional difference (maybe between northern and southern India - this was advertised as southern) would like to have seen a few extra pieces of meat ... that's it for the bad ... minor and acceptable
The good -
PERFECTLY cooked lamb, meat was still firm, but broke apart tenderly at the lightest touch
PLENTY of sauce
Rice was fluffy ... clearly not just sitting "on warm"
Naan light and freshly cooked
The restaurant was full, but meal came out in reasonable time.
Restroom facilities were spotless.
(A welcome change for small ethnic restaurants)
Tables cleared quickly and properly cleaned
All in all a great clean restaurant ... in a place - to be honest -- Onehunga -- a run down and not very clean area
Well done Curry Leaf
I will return !!

This small restaurant packs a mighty punch when it comes to flavour! There wide selection of dishes means everyone will find something they love. And the always friendly and attentive service means it's the perfect place for a family dinner out. Our pick? Try their Lamb Rogan Josh and a cheesy Naan! You won't regret it!
My butter chicken was perfect temperature which was accompanied by a generous serving of rice and a tasty cheese w/ garlic naan bread. This was all a home delivery as well, processed my order via menulog and it arrived less than the time expectancy. All round would definitely recommend this place as this was my first time I experienced amazing customer service and a fine dish 👍🏻
The menu had a wide choice range, catering brilliantly for vegetarians such as myself. My curry was perfectly spiced, and the absolutely-necessary naan was also tasty. Losing a couple of marks on service, they could have been slightly more smiley. Price-wise, it was very reasonable. All-round, I was pretty impressed.
Good resturant, nice interior. Food is good but its the biryani dish which i always go for in indian resturants. I would say their biryani contains more rice than meat. Always had to dig for meats lol. Other than their biryani. Its a good resturant.
They do the best vegetable samosa, properly spicy, we love them. Good curry , consistent and they have a great, friendly delivery service too.
Being an Indian living in NZ i have tried to find the best authentic Indian food but found the real taste at curry leaf, the menu is quiet different and the taste is mouth smacking, its fresh and have real flavors unlike the other famous restaurants where they serve only added artificial flavors and colors and lacks the taste of the actual food!! their customer service is very impressive, i get my food delivered at home every time withing 20 mins and the best thing is you can have the exact kind of spice you want depends on your taste..i like not too mild and not too hot and thats what i get... would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.
This is our local Indian restaurant and have been there for so many time and never disappointed. Food is good and Cheese Garlic Naan is yummy.
Went to Curry Leaf Onehunga last night 15th March 2016 for my birthday. Tried Rogan Josh - very yummy. My friend had Madras Curry also very good. Not many people there so could hear yourself speak & talk with ease. Price was good.
Not familiar with Indian cuisine, so just tried butter chicken before. And it's hard to find some real spicy item from Indian cuisine. But when I was tasting this dish - windaloo? I got the real spicy finally. Rice is soft and smell good.

Ordered in for a late night dinner as I was too tired and lazy to cook. I am new to the area so googled local indian places, and curry leaf had a reasonable delivery fee so was an easy choice. I chose chicken korma wirh garlic naan and vege samosas.
I was very impressed with the quick delivery, amd the food was piping hot. The samosa was very generous in size with yummy sauce. The korma was a little tasteless which was a bit disappointing but the garlic naan was one of the best ive ever had.
Ill probably try somewhere else next time I will like curry, but the prompt service is great to keep in mind.
Almost hidden on Onehunga mall road is this Indian restaurant that's cosy and very punjabi. The staff was very friendly and welcomed us. Mentioned that all curries $11 each. We ordered a chicken dish and a beef dish along with Peshawari naan. Chicken vindaloo was full of flavour. For a change I ordered butter beef Masala (yep not the usual butter chicken ). But didn't appeal me much as its the BC gravy.
Good place for a quick meal or to do some take away.
Verdict : will be back for take aways
Had a awsome experience with my mates.
Price and food quality and taste all up to standards. Would highly reccomend...☺
Tried couple of entrees and they were really tasty.
We are regulars of Curry Leaf and have been for over 10 years. We have used their delivery service, and bought takeaways but our preference is to eat at the restaurant. The service is excellent and the staff and owner are friendly. My 7 year old son loves the Dahl Makhani here and the staff always make a fuss of him. Large servings, we always have leftovers, and a good drink selection. Good value for money, especially Monday - Wednesday when they have discounted meals.
Excellent Service... Excellent Food.... Especially Sheek Kebabs & Tandoori Starters... Love the Way staff treat their customer... FIVESTAR RATING.
After long day shopping in onehunga dress smart, we find this little gem in town centre. Neat and tidy restaurant. We had Delhi Da Butter Chicken and Bhindi Do Piaza. Well spiced as per our need and generous portion. They have really good wine list and we surprized they not seĺling supermarket cheap wines. I had house pinot gris which is very nice and my husband got Mountain Goat Ale, he also like that. We really enjoyed our evening...
This is my local restaurant and we have been going here for a least 5 years on a regular basis. The staff are polite and friendly, the restaurant always looks clean and tidy and the food is served piping hot and made to order. The portion sizes are good- if my daughter and I have shared an onion bhaji entree first, we invariably end up taking some of the mains back home with us. We think this place is good value for money and it has a good atmosphere too
Update August 2016 - I have discovered Kasoori chicken ! Beautiful rich and creamy with a flavour to die for - my new favourite from Curry Leaf
Update November 2018 - I keep updating my review because I am continually impressed with this place. The standards have been maintained over the years with the friendly and efficient service and the quality of the food.
Awesome food and excellent service. Curry Leaf remind us same food what we get back home india. We had Amritsari Fish and Saag Kofta vegeterian. Food look fresh and taste good. Well priced. We will be back.
Had a seriously good meal here. A very pleasant surprise after a mad, tiring afternoon at the outlet mall. One of the best curries I've had anywhere.
Very clean, well presented restaurant. Menu has all the usual suspects plus some great signature dishes and a large vegetarian section. Will definitely come here again.
Visited Curry Leaf for lunch and got the lunch special-9.50 for all mains. It includes a curry, rice and salad. Although the portion size is small, it is sufficient for lunch. We got the chicken tikka masala and methi chicken (indian hot). Food was served within minutes and was piping hot. Both mains were quite tasty but we leaned more towards methi chicken- not too oily or creamy and extremely delicious. Please try the dish at least once! Overall good service.
Delicious food! Naans a great, sometimes flakey. Cheese naan is yum! Love the starters. Currys are nice. Easy to order through the phone. Their delivery service is bonus too! awesome!
We love going to Curry Leaf in Onehunga. The staff are friendly and if you go on a Tuesday night most mains are only $11.00 (as at September 2012).
My favourite would have to be the lamb shanks - so yummy!
They also provide a b.y.o wine service with a small cork-age fee.
Well worth it!!!
Best Indian I have found in Auckland! We had the banquet for two that came to under $60 for both of us & came with Sizzling platter for entree, Butter Chicken, Vege Korma, Lamb Rogan Josh & Beef Vindaloo, as well as the usual rice, 2 naans and sauces. I am not usually a fan of the latter two curries, but have found the meat they use in these curries is divine! The beef & lamb melts in your mouth & the sauces themselves are delicious. Also very good service & a cosy atmosphere, I recommend you try as it makes all other Indian restaurants pale in comparison.
Warm, friendly atmosphere as soon as we walked in. The waiters were approachable, polite and efficient.
We were very impressed with the delicious butter chicken and lamb saag we ordered.
The naan bread was hot and delicious.
Would recommend to friends and family and definitely come again.
This is the most fantastic Indian restaurant that I have ever been to! Everything is great! The prices, the service and the food. OOOOhhhh the food! Every morsel of food is completely divine. If you want real Indian food, then you should totally dine at the Curry Leaf. The lamb shank is to die for! It is the most succulent, soft and tender lamb shank I have tasted, ever. The tomato gravey over it is just right, and gets soaked up with the beautifully made naan bread. OH and not to mention the cumin potatoes, man oh man are those goood! All in all every experience I have had at the Curry Leaf has always been spectacular, friendly service, delish food and awesome prices!
Gorgeous food, and the mood of the place is so fabulous. I went with my partner on valentine's day. It’s recently been renovated, and looks stunning inside. We absolutely loved the incredible Indian flavours:entree- fish tikka was perfectly cooked accompanied with mint chutney which was amazing. Naan breads were very good. And then my partner & I shared lamb shank dish which was really tender.
We finished our special night on sweet note by having gulab jamun.
Not many Indian restaurants do curried lamb shanks. It was a special on the night we were there and it was a good change from my standard butter chicken.
Good service, great food and cold beer.
We often come here as the food is great !! the only issue is the service is quite slow but definatly worth the wait !
YUM! We drove past this place and decided to go in because there weren't too many people and we needed fast service. We got much more... the food was great and the service was fast. They do $10 mains Mon-Wed so it makes the meal pretty cheap too.
Must eat there!
Went there last night for my birthday dinner with family. Service was excellent, as the staff was very attentive, friendly & accommodating. We turned up late with a group, cake, and no reservation.. yet we were greeted with friendly smiles, & poppadoms. The food was mouth watering!!.. I had the soup which i didn't have too much of as i was too busy stuffing my face with everyone elses curries. :) The Delhi Butter Chicken was beautifully creamy with the right amount of chili, The lamb Madras which was ordered 'Indian hot' started out light & creamy with a nice bit of sweetness followed by a flaming hot fire- just how we ordered it. We also enjoyed a Mango chicken & Beef Vindaloos which were also very tasty. My group could not find one thing to complain about. We are big eaters & were surprisingly very satisfied with the portions & even left with doggy bags. Definitely a new fave for me to add to my short list. Will be making regular visits to this place. :)
Reasonably priced and friendly service. Recommended.
Went to Curry Leaf last night as I was having a quick dinner with a friend who was stopping over at the airport for a few hours and it was a great find! We let the staff know that we were in a hurry and they were very good at bringing out the food quickly.
When we first arrived we were promptly seated and given a poppadom each which was very tasty as we were hungry. We ordered pakoras and samosas for starters and two butter chickens, one vindaloo for dinner. They brought all of the meals out at once as per our request and the food was very yum. I especially enjoyed the Pakoras. As we went on a Monday night (I think it is a weekday deal) the mains were only $10 each!
Will definitely be heading there again if I am in the neighbourhood. Recommend highly as they have delicious food and am reasonably priced.
Love this place, have been to a few indian restaurants and this is by far the nicest love the butter chicken and garlic naan
I have been coming here regularly for the past two years and can always recommend this place. The quality of the food is good, with decent sized portions and comes as hot or mild as you like. Staff are efficient, helpful and friendly.
I went to this restaurant for lunch two months ago. I really enjoyed eating butter chicken with rice and nan. I also ordered mango drink, which was also nice. The waiter (I am not sure whether he was the owner?) was very friendly.

Last time I came here a few months ago I was not impressed by the butter chicken, but today I enjoyed a lovely lunch here with my friend. We ordered two mild plates, my friend had beef, and I had a lamb dish made with coconut cream (recommended by the waiter). Both curries were DELICIOUS and sweet and mild (we don't like spicy). We were quite impressed by the quality of the food and the taste. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
I love this place, great for dining in or takeout, rich flavour and warms the belly every time.
Im a mango chicken lover and have to say over the past 3 years or so, there are some inconsistancies in recipe but, i guess that its just when they have different staff on.
still will always be popping around the courner to eat here!
Very good, very cheap curry ($7.50 lunch) Friendly staff.
The best Indian food I have tasted. My son and I have made this our local place to either dine in or take out probably more than we should, but so yummy. My favourite is the Pakora for entree, other Indian Restaurants I have dined at can't beat theirs. Nice peaceful and relaxing atmosphere friendly staff.

This was the most interesting place that was open on a Monday night after we had an excursion to Onehunga on the electric train.
There were a number of patrons inside (even though the restaurant's offer on a daily deal website did not come out until the next day), it was pleasingly decorated, and the waiter was attentive and friendly - though we wished he had told us that our order of tamarind sauce was really weird, given we did not order anything suitable for dipping, and it doesn't really go with curries.
There was a wide selection of food and drinks on the menu, including bottled Galbraith's beer. We ordered the signature delhi da butter chicken, and the daal tarka, in addition to burji (scrambled eggs served with zeera aloo). The two curries were fragrant and delicious, if more filling than we would have liked. Both the eggs and the potato in the third dish, however, were rather bland.
We particularly enjoyed the butter chicken, scooping up the sauce with rice even though we were full. Would be happy to return to try some more dishes.

Amazing food! Everything from Lamb to chicken are tasty! Our son loved it too.. must try.. the sauce are soooo good with Naan… you can’t stop savouring all their different dishes…
Great service, amazing food with ample portions, totally worth the visit. Definitely would come back!
We got Lamb Biryani, Vegetarian Cauliflower with Curry, Garlic Naan and Plain Naan. 🔥
My family go here regularly to enjoy Prawns Masala and Kasoori Gosht and the owner knows their taste. The Garlic Naan was very nice with my Rogan Josh. We took our byo along. The restaurant has a pleasant ambience inside.
Gorgeous food, opting for something different. Accommodates dietary requirements easily. Great value. Great customer service. A find!
This is my favourite Indian restuarant. The food is delicious and consistently good!! The lamb nawabi and the lamb rogan josh are soo yummy! The restaurant owner is absolutely lovely and gives amazing service everytime we go. I can highly reccommend Curry Leaf Onehunga if you are wanting delicious, fresh, tasty food.
This is a hidden gem in the heart of Onehunga . Really great food with amazing service. I will highly recommend this place. Fresh food and very tasty. I have been visiting and will visit again. Thanks for the great experience.
Excellent food and service
We have been eating here for a long time and never been disappointed with the food and service
One of the best Indian restaurants!!
Had tandoori chicken & a cheese naan to take away. Loved it, really good. Hope to do this weekly & try all their menu
Never had a bad meal here, delicious food every single time. Best butter chicken in Auckland 🙏 also try the tandoori chicken
I had a garlic naan and the Methi malai paneer that came with a pyramid of rice. I wanted the dish very hot but it was made mild. The food was really tasty though. I would of liked more garlic on the naan even though it was small. I will definitely go back and would recommend this dish.
Had a heart-filling lunch @curry leaf. Masala chai served hot and strong! Recommend their chikken tikka masala and aloo paratha. Definitely going back :)
It's a shame that there wasn't many people around at lunchtime. #supportlocal #bestindianfood
Great Curry's, I had the fish Masala & Dal makhani. The food was fantastic probably the best Curry in Auckland. Five Stars.
I've lived in the neighbour more than half my life and im appalled that i had not tried this earlier! The staff was soooo friendly, and when they brought our curries out - my goodness soooo delicious! One of my fav indian restaurants!
I've never had such a perfectly spiced, so well cooked and highly satisfying Indian meal before. We had the Banquet for 2 and it was simply amazing. A massive plate of starters (4 different dishes with 5 sauces) and four beautiful bowls of Daal, Beef Vindaloo, Lamb Rogan Josh and Butter Chicken as main course. Heaven. So much good food, my partner and I were both so happy and full after dining here.
Food was absolutely fantastic I love there music great atmosphere sure I will be back thanks for good food.
One of great eateries in onehunga 😍
Food especially lamb 🐑 shanks best in Auckland
Palak panner great taste
One time visit must . 🏆
