We have lived in orewa since 2011 and this is our restaurant of choice.
Reasonable prices, clean, a
great owner and staff. The meals are always ample, and the food is amazing.
I have tried most of the other restaurants in orewa and nothing else compares for quality and value.
Been coming here for years, great family local restaurant. Nice decor. Great friendly service and great food. Best of all kiddo is happy as he gets to eat nuggets and we get to eat yummo lamb sagwaala and chicken tikka masala with fluffy garlic naan. Plenty to eat and good spice if you ask for it. Reasonable price and bonus byow
We have been looking for a really good Indian meal in Orewa and it looks like we might have found our winner. We had Chicken Tikka Masala (Medium) and Garlic Naans. Really pleased with the amount of heat in the curry and texturally a good sauce. Liked how fluffy the naans were, though they could have a little bit more garlic on them. Will be back.
We’ve been coming here for months, ever since we moved into the area. Consistently delicious food, quick service. Decor is a little outdated but adds to the charm!
Warm welcome from the owner when we arrived set the tone for the night. We shared excellant samosas for entree and mains of chicken masala and tikka chicken, both hot as requested. Very good food at very reasonable prices.
Great service, great food, quick service, entertainment everything what a restaurant needs love the food I can't say anything else it was the greatest food I've ever had!
The food is delicious we had palak paneer,veg korma both the dishes were good. The rise that they serve is different but you would like it.
Papadom were also good
this is our local, we go regularly, nothing wrong with any of it, recommended, very friendly and great service, byo is always a bonus too
I get takeout from Wishing Well a few times a month. I've eaten at most other Indian restaurants in Orewa and the Coast, and as far as taste goes, Wishing Well is my favourite. Since I eat from here so regularly, I can say that the chefs are very consistent with each curry's taste and spice level. Their Chicken Tikka Masala is the best I've had.
I can only speak about the takeout service not dining in. Food was ready in 15min. The appearance of this place doesn't do it's food justice!! I recommend the chicken bhuna!!! Very good!!
Great food. Place is basic but the food makes up for it. Chicken Bhuna is great
Hi - we have always had a good experience with this Indian restaurant. The decor is basic but the food is consistently good, the service is always polite and the owners are friendly if you take the time to chat. Our favourite dish is the samosas and the lamb nawabi. They are now doing $10 curry Mon - Thurs all day which is a pretty great deal as the curries are big enough for two.
This is our regular Wednesday or Friday night takeaway place due to my wife working late in town, and we dine there regularly as well.
It's dated decor should not influence your decision to dine here.
It's cheap and cheerful, and the food is always consistently good. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, on the nights my wife has had to work late they taking orders past their normal close time.
Great place to eat.
Quick service too.
We dine here very regularly.
It would be fair to say the the decor is a bit average, but don't be fooled the food has always been delicious.
The staff are very friendly.
I would recommend anytime. We have never has]d a bad meal there.
Walked in at 3pm, ordered prawn masala. Fast service. Good vegan options too, would return.
Friendly staff. Did not have to wait too long for the food. Big portions. Food was delicious. It was the second time we went. Will go again.
We went for a meal last night I've walked past the place many times, the food and service was amazing. This is the best indian we've to since we've moved to Nz
Lots of great vegan options with clear labelling. We enjoyed everything we ordered, but the Vegetable Masala and Chana Samosa were outstanding! We'll definitely be back
I've eaten here a number of times now. Excellent service and tasty meals. Saag is a favorite of mine and this has got to be one of best I've had. Lovely to have such good Indian food local.
The best butter chicken in the world 😇
Not sure what the previous complainants are griping about. Had dinner here last night and the food was spot on. Looked and tasted like authentic Indian food. Bloody delicious. I wasnt really hungry when we arrived, but i couldn't stop eating the food. The lady who served us was very nice and helpful. I recommend the Wishing Well and i look forward to eating there again.
Good tasty food. Able to accommodate off the menu request. Seems to have more take away trade than sit inside customers. Good portion at reasonable prices. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Sorry but some of these bad reviews that I just read are mostly wrong first of all I have been coming to wishing well of india since I was around 7 I am now 26 years of age and everything I get on a Tuesday it's amazing I always get the mango chicken and the butter chicken and popadoms but one thing about the butter chicken it's very different to any other butter chicken it's a very nice herby taste to it it's never changed its recipe as I have been coming here for 9 years most of the time I have the butter chicken the next night I heat it up in a pot very slowly and it never Separates as other one's do and the people that work there are actually nice and it probably doesn't help that customers are actually rude and not honest like the man that ate here two nights how rude.... and for me ..not you .. for me it's got to be the best butter chicken that EYE have tried around northisland ..FOR MEE .. I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU ... but for melee it's the best see you guys tonight
The waitress was friendly and efficient. The food was good. We will be back.
