Ordered through Delivereasy - the food came on time and arrived hot. The food was surprisingly authentic and really nice. The naan I had wasn’t burnt and that’s hard to come by these days. Only thing is I found the rice was slightly watery. However this is certainly my top pick for Indian food in Dunedin!
Pretty standard place, good selection of mains and starters. Interior is tidy and staff are polite and attentive. Can get a little bit noisy/echo. Food was fine, could of been spicier but that's always a hard thing to get good balance on so I don't judge too harshly. Reasonable amount of meat in the meals. I'd definitely keep this place up your sleeve, and it's absolutely worth checking out with a mate during the 2-1 hours.
The restaurant is very welcoming although a little chilly at times. The food is delicious and well priced for a budget. The delivery option is amazing and the food always arrives faster than expected. Highly recommend for a quiet night out or a delicious meal in.
Food was sooo much better than the last Indian takeaways I had tried. Asked for not very spicy and got what I asked for. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family
My partner and I went here for the first time on a whim, as normally I haven't enjoyed many other Indian Restaurants in Dunedin. However, I was so pleasantly surprised by the food I got, and how authentic it truly was, that I have been recommending this restaurant to my friends ever since. They were polite and friendly even though we came close to closing time and they had just had a large group in, and continued to be attentive for the whole meal. The food was so flavourful and authentic that I could not have been happier and will now be one of my first choices when eating. Highly recommend to any authentic Indian food lover.
Adore backyard events and the summer, However, I hate that component when I must order every thing about the beverages as well as the the meals. So I was searching for eco-friendly food away from home and fortunately choice was found by me to consider a smorgasboard or some menu for house - undoubtedly get tremendous success . Next period I will certainly favor the chance to purchase food away from home. You've got most of the choices you would like. They only allow it to be possible for you -galleri269
The New Indian Summer is the best Indian restaurant in town, the food here comes closest to the authentic Indian cuisine. The chefs have a wealth of experience under their belt. Chefs who are also the owners, helped open another Indian restaurant in town before moving to open their own restaurant. Highly recommended for butter chicken and the starter tandoori platter.
Give it a try. you would love it !
I went to New Indian Summer Restaurant with my mates and had Chicken Kadai and Lamb Rogan Josh. I loved the dishes and the service there is amazing with extremely friendly staff. I recommend everyone to please go and experience the wonderful atmosphere and everlasting tasty dishes that are available at New Indian Summer Restaurant and I guarantee that it will be a memorable experience and remember to take your friends and family along as well. :)
New Indian Summer is one of my best restaurants around town, they make the best butter and Mango chicken I have ever had so far. And their Indian drink Mango Lassi is too good.Their customer service is just so incredible, a great place to be any day.
Went to the restaurant with my Beautiful girlfriend on Saturday night. Must say the type of customer service was provided to us by the staff was excellent . we enjoyed a lot. Dal makhani dish was excellent and i must say the taste of Mango lassi was just ow-some i never had that sort of mango lassi any other restaurant. Brilliant service and Delicious meal. Enjoyed a lot
Our Book Group ordered a selection of 5 dishes as takeaways and all were lovely. We talked about various restaurants in Dunedin and decided it was important to give feedback.
"great food, excellent prices and we will al go back there again and recommend to our friends... the power of word of mouth
Thanks for superb food"
and only comment was it would be good to have menu of website to on-line order.
So recently I found out about Indian Summer Restaurant and decided to try the menu with a friend of mine. The dishes we ordered were lamb rogan josh and malai kofta. I must say this was the best curry in town. The service was excellent and I was so impressed we booked a table for 20 next week.
If you love curry as much as I do, try Indian Summer Restaurant you won't be disappointed.
Will follow up with next weeks dine in...I am sure it will be awesome!
Went back in a week and surely enough great service n delicious food. Will go again
Haven't been here since before it had some serious issues a few years ago. Now under new management, it has improved significantly.
'A' rated now. Attentive, friendly & helpful waiter & a lovely meal. Just right for level of spice, great flavours & tender chicken in both our curries.
Naan looks great in the teardrop shape but it's hard to manage so we liked that ours was cut into nice sized portions & served in a basket.
On reflection, the only thing I can say that I found odd was that the mango lassi was an astonishingly bright yellow. It just seemed unnaturally bright compared to others I have had. Was yummy though.
We'll be back.
This is my favorite restaurant in town. Recently I went there with my wife and two little kids. The friendly staff made us sit in a nice cosy corner and took our order. We had a lamb curry and a chicken curry with some roti and rice. The food was delicious as always. The kids felt very comfortable and enjoyed their food with mango lassi. I often go to this restaurant for take away food. But this time it was even a better experience to dine with the family. The staff were attentive and gave a good service. The place itself if big enough to give you a classy feeling. I would be very pleased to go there again and again. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to try authentic Indian food and who loves curries.
I went here recently for a dinner with a friend and we had a vegetarian entree platter and then 2 curries and nann and everything was great. We also both remembered coming here for a large dinner with over 25 people years ago and everything was great that time as well.
Our platter came out promptly and all 4 vegetarian options were great, I wasn't keen on the mushrooms but I don't like mushrooms and my friend really enjoyed them
Our mains took a wee bit longer to come out but it was worth the wait. The service was friendly and attentive and I will be back again with friends for sure.
My favourite Indian place in Dunedin. Unlike others who have recently reviewed, I have been here more than 3 or 4 times and never once found the service to be bad - in fact, I would say it is the best service I have experienced at an Indian restaurant in Dunedin.
The food is always great and I've never had to wait long on my order. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!
After reading about the pushy waiters, we where a little apprehensive. They where fantastic. Food was great. We asked for a little something different, they accommodated us without any questions asked . Value for money and understatement. As my mother says our eyes are bigger than our bellies. Food tasted great meat was really tender. Top evening highly recommended.
Went with a bunch of girlfriends for a catch up dinner, all of us were so impressed with our meals, we had a selection of meat and vegetarian curries and all were delicious. The meals are served in lovely metal dishes and presented so nicely. Really good sized meals for the price and the staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming - nothing was a bother.
We dined at this restaurant over the Queens birthday weekend, and discovered that it is excellent value for money. The service is also impeccable and cannot be faulted. Worth visiting again. Could be best Indian restaurant in Dunedin!
The food here is AMAZING. Great value too (we had 2 bottles of wine, 2 starter platters, 6 mains and 6 naan for $220). for the amount of food we got and the quality we were all very full and satisfied. The naan selection is great too. The venue is very interesting and nice too. Best indian I have had in Dunedin.
Great lunch deal - $9.90 gets you ANY curry from the menu (even seafood), rice and delicious fluffy buttery naan.
Curries were really yummy - one of the best I have had.
Service was great!
Will def. be going back and telling everyone!
Fantastic friendly service, and the best curries we have had for years (if not ever). Even the Naan bread was delicious. Beautiful decor, spacious, comfortable and quiet. Will visit again, either eat in or takeaway. The prices are very comparable to others, but the food is much nicer. Also very generous amounts of meat in the curry, which is rare these days. Definitely recommended to all.
I had the butter chicken and it was very nice. I ordered it Extra hot (overcompensating) and was glad I did. My friend ordered his meal hot and it was pretty mild by our tastebuds. Service was friendly
Very nice restaurant with excellent food service was reasonable
loved the fact that they had a blackboard menu with specials and dishes other than the standard menu. service, quality and quantity fantastic
A group of 25-30 of us went to this restaurant in October. They were down one chef (away at a wedding), and you would have never known. We love indian food and thought this was great along with the service. Will be going there again.
Wow EXCELLENT food i really liked it!
I LOVE Indian food - and will seek it out anywhere I am in the world. I only recently stumbled across Dunedin's INDIAN SUMMER - and can highly recommend it as the most intricately flavoured and beautifully "sauced" Indian menu in the city.
Excellent food- that should say it all!Very hospitable staff.
6 out of 5 if I could. Try the veg samosa starter!! Friendly staff, quick service and great food, all at amazing value. The surroundings are basic but comfortable and i’m happy that the effort goes in to meals more than glitz and glam. Highly recommended.
Delicious lamb Saagwala dish with a good quality wine and yummy mint yoghurt
The beef was so tender and spinach flavour was amazingly blended into the curry, very tasty!
I ordered mild but the curry was a bit hot for me.
I just mentioned it to Akshay, and he kindly changed it for me!! So polite, nice and friendly and he happily gave me a new dish with more rice!
The portions are also big.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was also really lovely.
Akshay was very nice and professional.
Highly recommended!
Great food, couldn't even finish as the serving sizes were very large. Very affordable as well, as it was happy hour. Definitely recommend.
Butter Chicken ,Goan Fish curry and Chicken Biryani was absolutely delicious and divine.Service was great as well,our new favourite food place now whenever we visit Dunedin 😋😋
Very pleased with Taste of Tandoor, I dined in and had Palak Paneer with Cheese Naan and a Tiger Beer.
Good price, great food, reminded me of my first Indian meal of Palak Paneer, so scrumptious.
Very accommodating staff, couldn’t fault, well done Taste of Tandoor 👍
I visited this place in afternoon. I ordered palak paneer and 2 roti. The portion of palak paneer was too small. It's location is convenient. Will visit and try other items. Food taste was okay.
The food here was amazing. Would highly recommend the pizza naan, it was amazing. The place has a really nice atmosphere and would be perfect for a group outing. Service was a bit on the slow side, took around 50 minutes from when we got there to have our food bought out. Our starters arrived about 5 minutes before the curry. It was not overly busy when we ordered. Nice experience but would have been better if we were told about the timeframe.
Yumm.... love this Indian cuisine, tasty and will back again if I visit Dunedin. Good services and affordable prices.
best butter chicken - actually has taste and spices. haven't had a bad curry & their prices are by far the best in Dunedin
Generous portions for takeaway and bonus points for putting them in secure containers that don’t leak. The paneer butter masala is amazing! Not totally thrilled with the garlic nan and raita but that’s okay. We were at Sara spice a few days ago which is much higher rated and the quality is nearly the exact same. Well done :)
Four friends shared a platter & four dishes to experience the most delicious Indian cuisine we have ever tasted. We have travelled in India but never found such flavors in the home country. I highly recommend dining at Taste of Tandoor
Fast and friendly service with great food and atmosphere. It is one of the Best Indian restaurant in Dunedin
Absolutely loved it the staff we're amazing and friendly the food is very flavorsome and a good price
"A very good place for stay at a very affordable prices with supreme service"
The best Indian food we've ever tasted. Absolutely delicious. The chocolate naan is a must and the pizza naan was really good too. Bestg value for money with their 2 for 1 curry and great service. Just wish I lived in Dunedin so I could back again and again.
Delicious food and friendly service, would highly recommend. Dunedin's standard for Indian food remains high!
