This place is awesome ! Atmosphere is really good & the staff is also really friendly ,and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is delicious specially Tanduri chicken & many options for hard drinks n soft drinks and for their prices it’s 100% worth it. my husband said this is the first restaurant he like in nz. go for it guys.
A spacious, warm and welcoming restaurant. We tried the classics, Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Tikka and Butter Chicken. All really great, but I was particularly impressed with the flavour of the Butter Chicken. I also ordered Peshwari Naan one of my favourites and was also impressed with their take on it using mostly coconut. Located on the busy 5 Crossroads roundabout, angle parking is available at the front if heading South and also easy access to off-street parking behind the building via driveways on either Peachgrove Road or Fifth Ave.
Mango lassi was great! Had a thick texture and strong mango flavor.
The food came out smaller in portion than expected but it was quite heavy so we were full by the end of it! We used “The first table” deal so it gave us half price off for the food (must buy a beverage per person with this deal).
The tandoori mixed platter came with good variety for two ppl but I felt the presentation was average. The lamb madras tasted awesome though!
This place is amazing! It is open until late, the atmosphere is welcoming and warm. The staff who served us was very attentive. The food was very good - especially their mango lassi which was full of flavour - reminded me of home. Other dishes saag paneer, Tikka house special mains were delicious.
Excellent service: as always with indian restaurants you should really choose the level of spiciness correctly. Do it wrong and you end up with bland food or with food that burns your mouth and kills all taste. We went with mild medium and it was just right.
Very buttery cheese naan. Butter chicken was sweet and tomato-y.
Great customer service with friendly and welcoming staff. 6 of us went and ordered a bunch of dishes - biryani, kadhai chicken, chilly chicken, aloo chicken and kadhai paneer and enjoyed the meal! Especially liked the mango Lassi and cheese garlic Naan. To add to the list, this is the first indian restaurant in New Zealand where I found salted Lassi which was great too! They have a huge range of vegan options too 👍
On a Tuesday night during our conference in Hamilton, I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant with three of my colleagues (all from out of town). The culinary experience was truly delightful. The food surpassed all expectations in terms of taste, leaving us thoroughly impressed. Not only was every dish bursting with flavour but the portion sizes were also generous, ensuring we left the table completely satisfied. We'll ✔️ 👍 👌
We dined here recently for the first time and we were very impressed all round. We have eaten a lot of Indian food at various restaurants over the years but this was the best Indian cuisine experience I've had. The food was superb and the Mango Kulfi dessert was just divine. The owner served us himself. He was so interesting, courteous and friendly. We will definitely go there again.
It’s our first time dining out here. The food was delicious, we all enjoyed butter chicken, chicken korma, biryani. We also had onion bhaji and mango lassi. Thanks for accommodating us.
They are very generous with the rice portions, I must say. Good resto!! :)
Dined in lastnight.We had Butter Chicken, Naan Bread, Rice, Mango Lassi. Food was delicious 😋🤤 and service was awesome. We will be back again.👍Thank you
We had this recommended to us by a workmate. He said that this Indian restaurant had a range of subtle flavors, unlike many of the others we'd been to recently which were just a wall of one flavor. He was right. The food was good, the decor pleasant but a little stark, the service was fast but a bit aloof (we were the only ones there but had to call out to get attention). The location was handy as there was free parking behind the premises. 3.5/5
I order to lamb biryani. I say it's is really superb. I didn't eat this taste at Hamilton. If you want to tast real Indian cuisine please come and taste it.
I've eaten ALOT of curry in my life all through NZ - mainly butter chicken. This one was easily in the top 3 if not best of them all. Mouthwateringly tender bits of chicken (and a decent amount), perfectly spiced medium butter chicken sauce with texture that held (hate them runny or like tomato soup) and just delish in general. Naan was great too, not too thick or rubbery.
Lunch special as in picture is $13.50 and Saturdays chef is the one who has perfected this
Highly rate this place

The food is absolutely fantastic.
Have eaten on lot of Indian restaurants in Sydney— very very few get the Indian flavours so perfect. Great cooking👍👍👍
Everything was fine up until I had my butter chicken. I can see the nuts that was in the gravy made it sweet. But it's OK. It was really nice
