We ordered quite a few items and loved everything except the veg kuruma since we thought it would be South Indian style but was not. The veg briyani especially was amazing and one of the best I've had in Auckland so far. The Gobi starter was really delicious as well and it tasted like something you would have back in India.
Tried this place first time based on one of my friends recommendation. Food is yummy, fish fry and biryani is amazing. I would recommend this place for seafood and biryani. Would love to visit again.
Though the place is really small the Food was really good, better than some famous Indian restaurants.
Small, but great. One of the best Dosa I have had outside of India. Happy tummy.

Been here 4 times now, and the food and quality has been consistent every single time ✅.
The non veg platter is a must have as the chicken is freshly cooked in different flavours & the lamb sheek kebab is full of flavour. The dosa & chicken curry is another awesome dish to have from here. Really gives it that true South Indian feeling. The sambar lacks taste but the coconut Chutney makes up for it 👍. Staff here are very friendly and so are the cooks. The Andhra fried fish is also a must have. You won't be disappointed in any of the dishes here.
P.S don't order dishes like fried rice etc, because it is not an indo Chinese restaurant it is an authentic South Indian restaurant.

The food is authentic south Indian taste , loved their crab and fish , I actually felt I was sitting in south India not NZ with the taste of food.
Very good service friendly atmosphere.
Thank you so much.yummy
Wow is the word if you are looking for real South Indian food dosas and other non vegetarians food the place to be
Ensure you book and go as it’s a small place and also better to go after 100 pm for good service as they open at 1130 and to serve better and timely
Food flavour is yummy and nice portions
The lunch non veg thali is amazing consisting of lamb and chicken curry sambar curd pickle rice and naan the portions are generous with value for money
Excellent food. Very authentic taste of the sambhar and chutney along with all the food. Chaas was also superb. Will definately be back for more.
It’s worth it to wait for delicious food😊
Good food. We ordered chilly chicken, chicken noodles and bangalore masala dosa. Tasted good, we will be back.
Good food ... the chilli mushrooms and dosa is good.. it’s close to our house so end up going there quite abit.. would recommend this place to friend and family
Food was super tasty and fresh. I really Enjoyed kheema dosa and Goat Biryani. I would encourage you to provide peanut chutney for dosa or Vada instead of coconut chutney it lacks some taste.
Amazing authentic South Indian food.
Fairly new place, So did not go with high hopes but was very happy with the food.
Not very expensive, Prompt service.
Can't ask for more.
Super tasty *****
Visited Papadums for dinner , ordered kerala Parotta with Chilly chicken n Veg Samosa. Food took longer time to arrive , it would be better if there were more staff as ther was just one poor guy managing the orders, serving and reception duties. Food was super tasty and fresh. Good ambience in small space.
We went to this place with no expectations at all and it surprised us taking us back to our roots. Felt like sitting way down south and enjoying my dosas, idlis and noth indian gravies with perfectly cooked naan. We couldn't resist complimenting the chef and the staff for the amazing food and top class service. Definately recommanded. Value for money as well. I am going back there very soon
I had been to this place couple of times must recommend the 70mm dosa, idli and paneer dosa proper, south Indian cuisine experience with all the taste buds. Must visit.
Close to authentic, awesome food. Just had Masala Dosa and would definitely recommend it for sure. Also try Chilli Mushroom WOW!!! As of now these two would recommend others after trying. Happy Fooding 😜
The food is fastastic. We ordered hyderabad briyani which is really nice. Not oily and taste just nice. The resam is the best appertiser which is spicy and sour soup. Chicken tika is delicious and spicy enough! Dosa is really nice with crispy on the outside and pack of flavour inside. Will be back for more!
Sensationally good and without doubt the best Indian food I've had in nz by a good margin. Fresh spices and quality ingredients, lovely. Well done and keep up the good work!
Went for dinner tonight - it was more of dosa time for my family. Absolutely loved paneer dosa and Masala dosa and their sambar and coconut chutney was perfect. Service was so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely return to try their biryani...cheers
Me and my family visited for dinner last nite..we ordered south Indian dosa and biryani it was yummy. Place looks small, service is v good..
Being a south Indian finding south Indian cuisine in Auckland is just bliss. With all the excitement we ended up over ordering the food, luckily we had enough time to cancel one of the dishes before it was prepared. Thanks to the manager for that.
Ordered the prawn masala dosa, hyderabadi chicken biriyani, chicken lollipop and the best one among all of the dishes; the fish fry!! Not one of the items from the menu that we ordered was disappointing.
The prawn masala dosa had small fine prawn making it easier to the break and eat. The chicken lollipop had the right amount of the masala and the coating making it a delight to much on. The biriyani was a good option but was a bit spicier. Lastly the fish was just AMAZING!!
Really good food at good prices. The spinach chaat is one of my favourites now along with the tandoor chicken. Also do free delivery for local orders over $30!
Went there yesterday for lunch. The service was excellent and the food tasted even better. Would definitely go back as well as order takeaways.
Best dosas in Auckland. Have been regular here for last 2-3 years. I tried dosas in few other places all over the city but Papadums have that perfect dosa that is not too soft and not too dry. Prices are great. I love having dosas with chai or filtered coffee. Other dishes like curries ans starters are also good but when me and my friends want dosas there is no question where we are going - Papadums.

Yummy food and great service... Atmosphere nice... The waitress vey professional and friendly.... The food tasted amazing and didn't have to wait too long... Highly recommend
Authentic Indian goat biryani👌 enjoyed the food. Worth trying.
Food was great, atmosphere was a little low as there was no music playing in the background.
One of the top 3 authentic South Indian Restaurants in Auckland. Yummy food 🤤. Must try for all Indian food lovers.
I have dined here three times now. The food is top notch and improves each time.
Edit - Dined again today (May 22) still my go to South Indian spot
Good food. Always to the point. Lamb biryani is spicy, exactly the way I like it. Great quantity for what you pay. Dosas are really good.
Usually the food is good here. But for the last 2 times, the chicken in biryani is being over burnt. Prawns in the biryani were also over burnt/fried.
Delicious south Indian food. One of the best South lndian food in Auckland. It is more of a takeaway place as the seating is much. Staff is nice and humble. Ample parking around.
Nice South Indian restaurant with amazing service and price. Food is really great 👍🏻
