A must visit place,,,,people are really very friendly, offer you with their best. Just love it !!!
Amazing authentic taste, friendly people always smiling and making sure everything is how you want. If there is an issue they will sort you out. No hassles at all. Not a clue what previous reviewer (Emily) is on about seeing as these guys help the local community as much as possible by sponsoring events and bringing a happy environment to all.
We were on our way to Tutukaka from Auckland and stopped here for dinner, I absolutely loved the food. We went as a large group of people, so we ordered most of the menu. It was an amazing experience, and the food was fantastic! The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was superb! I ordered chicken saagwala and it was amazing, far better than most Indian restaurants in Auckland
Excellent value for money.
Delicious meals, that are full of flavour.
I love having a restaurant of this quality in our area!!!
If we could we would eat there every night!
Wonderful service, great team.
Definitely recommended to all.
Great food, we was on our way to Ruakaka. Find this place on highway great food and friendly service.
Lovely staff, quick service for take aways. Wonderful Calamari, and my son enjoys the spicy ribs. Great Naan!
Great choice of curries, warm & friendly service. I got take out & didn't have to wait long.
The Garlic Naan bread was spectacular with heaps of garlic - just the way I like it. The portions were excellent & all served with rice.
I had the Saagwala & Kadahi Chicken curries.....yuuuum. The restaurant & bathroom were clean & tidy albeit the dated decor, but in some ways that just kind of adds to the Kaiwaka experience.
The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the chicken was a bit dry.
Great Indian Restaurant at such a convenient place from the motorway. Lamb balti is a hidden gem here. Do try. Great customer service as well.
I just nipped in to grab some Dessert to go, but it looked like a lovely place to eat in. Smells were delicious.
Very good food, pleasant service, pretty good value
Delicious! The kids loved the naan, rice and poppadoms, and I loved the palak paneer and chicken tikka masala, so good!
We stopped off here on our way up north not expecting much. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was quick to arrive and exceeded our expectations. Having travelled through India and eating and cooking Indian food weekly the spice lounge far exceeded my expectations for a small town side of the road restaurant. Will visit again. We had the onion bhaji, chicken piaza do and saag paneer with garlic Naan.
Always delicious food and great service! Thank you :)
We stopped here for dinner after a day in the Bay of Islands. We ordered the palak paneer and aloo matar. The meal came with rice and I ordered garlic naan to go with it. Both dishes were prepared with medium spice and were perfect! The meal really big the spot after a day of adventure.
I bypassed Wellsford due to the festive holiday traffic queues. This place had ample parking well off the road and good access back onto the road.
I ordered a medium spicy butter paneer with a tandoori roti and a lassi (it was a hot day).
The service was prompt, friendly and efficient. The meal was the best I'd tasted since I was last in India! An absolutely smooth and creamy blend of taste and texture yet with the kick that I enjoy from spicy Indian food. The roti was quartered and it was the size of a brake rotor. The smooth lassi kept me cool too - I bought two in the end.
First class! I'll be back!
Yum and affordable.
We will come again.
Unexpected touch of class & huge portions - the starter filled me up and I still had the main to go! The sauces were lusciously thick and not watery like elsewhere. We always stop here for dinner on our way north now!
Great Indian food..Just loved our fryed prawns Idian style, plus our coconut curry.
Best road trip stopver ever. Food was generous, delicious, restaurant was spacious, and service was quick! Kids menu, chicken pakora very generous sizing for an entree I still had 5 left! Highly rate as alternative to pie. Only took 30 mins total for us to order eat and leave.
I drive 30mins for the best curry around. I could drive 5mins down the road but no way does it taste as good as spice lounge !
Fantastic find. Friendly service, delicious food delivered promptly and piping hot. Definitely will call in again one day when we are travelling through the area.
Good value, good Indian
Naan slightly over cooked & lady behind counter could have smiled & been friendly but otherwise good, would definitely go again 👍
Possibly the best food available for a long way. Certainly the best Indian food in northland that I've tried. Value for money.
