Lovely decor, excellent service, and delicious food. Upmarket Indian food for a reasonable price, would definitely recommend.
Koi Lounge is AMAZING. The food is out of this world, service and atmosphere is outstanding. Highly recommended, could be an addictive place to eat out. Thanks Jassi & Gavinder, Sunny and Seema... you guys are legends.
Great service, great tastes, wonderful decor, ambience and furnishings. The only downside was having to listen non-stop to the music - Chemical Brothers - or whatever it was.
My favourite New Plymouth restaurant. The decor is superb, the range of beers and whiskeys is impressive and the food is authentic and innovative. I also like that the staff are so professional and take obvious pride in the restaurant.
The food was excellent and the service is first class. This is our third visit and we will definitely be back.
����� The food was fantastic topped with friendly helpful service. Loved it! Thanks for a great night.
Dined here last night and it was fantastic! Great service, great food, great drinks! Will definitely be back and telling everyone else to go there too. Thank you koi for the great birthday dinner!

Amazing food, awesome staff, ace recommendations.
The food, service and atmosphere are fabulous. A new favourite!
Delicious food and superb service,we will be back, thank you!
I travel a lot for work and I am always on the look out for new restaurants to try. From the moment I walked in the door I felt welcome. The atmosphere is exceptional, warm and welcoming hosts that are not at all pushy and are happy to let you relax. The food was sensational and worth every last cent! In fact the best curry I have ever eaten thanks to the advice from Sonny. The beer selection is excellent and for those that enjoy a whiskey not only is there a vast array to sample but a host with so much knowledge to make sure you get something you will enjoy. I had the best evening and when I am next in New Plymouth it is guaranteed I will be back, I have already recommended friends to visit.
What a beautiful restaurant in the heart of New Plymouth! The interior is authentic, colourful and sophisticated. Friendly service. Full of spice, delicious food! A bit pricey but worth it as their portions are very generous. Must visit if in New Plymouth.
Hard to find because "Koi" is only on the entrance door. It is the Southern half of India Today.
Loved the colourful (burnt umber & ochre) decor and the relaxed but bustling atmosphere. Background music was perfect, loud enough to hear clearly but not loud enough to hinder clear conversation
Good staff were ever helpful.
Food was more expensive than were are used to but we enjoyed sharing every dish and all were worth the price: mixed platter, lamb spare ribs, lamb saag, chickpea and potato, and so on.
Service was amazing, very friendly staff. Food was super! Absolutely delicious. Lovely atmosphere. A good place to go, will most definitely be back again soon

We booked early and had the best service. The restaurant was literally our own for the first hour. We started with a specialty Scottish whiskey and a specialty gin, Indian the best I have ever had Our starters of mixed poppadums and chicken were not only pretty but superb followed by mains that were filling and perfection. My husband rated the butter chicken as the best he has ever eaten. My Lamb shank medium was spicy and was to the liking of my pallet, I especially loved the thick sauce infused with plump mushrooms and cauliflower which coated the rice and garlic and cheese nairn that accompanied, it was completely sublime. The surroundings at the Koi give an authentic feeling of being in an exotic setting. The music sets the mood. The service is efficient and caring without being intrusive. We shared a bottle of sauvignon which beautifully complimented our meal, our only regret was not leaving room for dessert.
Obviously we will definitely return and highly recommend. The best Indian food we have eaten in a long time.

Now re-branded as Koi, the original owners and chefs are back and transformed the place. The new decor is superb with amazing design features throughout.
The new Whiskey lounge is brilliant. We have had pre-show drinks here a few times now and we really enjoy the huge soft leather couches and the whiskey and craft beer range is really impressive. You can even buy your own locker here and then put a whiskey in it from the bar and come in and drink from it whenever you want. When it runs out, just buy another bottle from the bar and put it in your locker. It's an awesome way to have good whiskeys and the range is really impressive with whiskeys from all around the world, including a lovely one from India which I recommend.
I've always been a fan of the chefs here (and at their other restaurant India Today) and the food is a real highlight. The new menu has the usual favourites as well as some new recipes (I like the malay/indian fusion). The presentation is very good and the prices are so reasonable. I find the staff the best in New Plymouth too...very professional and attentive.
We are very lucky to have some really cool restaurants in New Plymouth, it always impresses our friends from out of town and Koi is right up there with the best.
This place has had a makeover recently. It has been done well with nice decor. The menu has been revamped with Indian dishes that appear more authentic than the standard fare such as Rogan Josh. Waiters attentive. Good selection of craft beers. There is a whisky menu. Didn't partake but seemed a reasonable selection. Certainly worth a try if you like this cuisine.
The chicken biryani is absolutely top notch. The food is absolutely fantastic. This is a great place and the whiskey lounge is lovely - if you really appreciate good Indian/Malaysian cusine - then it's worth a visit.
Fantastic and amazing food but I didn't give 5 stars because the service was not quite right. Some confusion over the courses. They were really helpful but we didn't get what we wanted at the right time. Tiny quibble really. The food was great. A good range of wine, some good craft beers and some excellent whiskies. Sat in the"lounge" now drinking an excellent Islay malt.
I went to Koi while travelling to New Plymouth for work. I’m so glad I did. Everything about the experience was quality. Quality decor and vibe, quality service from friendly staff and quality food and beverages.
Amazing meals, spices are awesome, service is great. the ambiance was brilliant.
When we have guests visiting us in New Plymouth we always take them to Koi. Why? It's simply the best and most consistently quality food with a great atmosphere and service. It is a pleasure to take friends there and always get very positive feedback from them. It leaves a great impression of their visit to our region. We'll done.
As an Indian, i can confidently say the quality and authenticity of the food is top notch. What makes Koi lounge really stand out as well is the beautiful, regal decor and its ambience. I am looking forward to coming back. A place of this calibre is a credit to New Plymouth.
Great service, great food, great whisky. The serving staff were very knowledgeable about the whisky and good and let me sample food before deciding on a dish. Had a nice ambience as well. Good variety of single malts.
Another gem of a find. The Indian dishes we ordered were a delight to eat! My taste buds were dancing! The goat curry was delicious! Staff were extremely friendly and the ambience was lovely. The restaurant was full but our food was quick to arrive! Love the whisky bar and the cubbie holes with local folks favourite tipple behind the glass! The coriander oil was so good...they should bottle it and sell as I could dip bread or naan in that on a daily basis! We will be back!!
We had a wonderful time dining here. The food was some of the best that we have eaten, with brillant attentive service on top. A good drinks selection with decent beer and very good wine.
We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. We can't pick a favourite dish but you have to try the prawns!
The waiter even gave us a pot of some sauce we were raving about to take home - yum!
