The food here is always delicious and lots to choose from. Super friendly staff, well priced food and the food always comes out super quick!
Placed order online. Everything worked perfectly, meals arrived at the time specified. Food was excellent. Have dined in before and had take outs and the meals are always very tasty. Thank you.
Was staying in Waikanae from out of town and dined at Samrat. Beautiful food and great customer service. The gosht is especially good. Would definitely go back :)
Me and my family was greeted with lovely customer service and the food was absolutely delicious! Genuinely the best Indian food I've had! Definitely coming back and I loved the design of the restaurant! Very unique and good vibe :)
This is our local Indian takeaway so I have had numerous meals from here.
Staff are always really friendly and the food has always been pretty good.
Our favorite Indian restaurant. The food is consistently good. Kirti the owner and his family greet all their customers like long lost friends, always focused to make sure we know they appreciate our business. Recent improvements to decor, and technology with online booking are great. Keep it up. Always our favorite
Good service, great food, had the full banquet great way to mix and match flavours. excellent value & child friendly. Will be back for more, thanks
Super food. Fast service. The lamb biriyani was excellent.

This place is excellent. By far THE best indian on the coast. The food is delicious everytime and the service impecable. I take my little girls in and the staff always make a point of saying hello and giving them a lollie which they love.
I was very surprised at the great service and the very reasonable prices, and the short waiting time. The NEW building was a PLUS. It was lovely surprise for my wife, for her 63rd birthday. The staff also wished her a happy birthday. Their attention to detail was surprising. Overall, one of the better places to eat in the Wellington region. We will go again. HIGHLY recommended!
We ate here while on a recent holiday at Waikanae Beach and were pleasantly surprised with the delicious food and value for money. The only downside was the restaurant being so quiet - only us and one other table of two - so did feel a bit watched by staff who were very attentive. Being from Wellington we had worried about whether we would get in on a Friday night with no booking!
I love Samrat and I am happy to say I eat there regularly and takeaway. I am vegetarian and I find the menu varied and tasty every time.
We had a family birthday and our takeaways were delivered bang on time. The food was delicious. Would recommend Samrat as the effort that went into helping use choose the menu for the night was great. Thank you.

Really good Indian, We had ours delivered. It was on time and tasted great. Highly recommended.
One of the best Indian Restaurants in the Wellington area. Great food, great atmosphere, have been back and will be back again. Also have delivery so we can enjoy the great taste even when we are at home :) Keep up the great work guys.
Super impressed. A little restaurant that exceeds expectations. Great food with above average portions. A great variety on the menu. Service is very personal. Kids were treated like a king and queen. Speed of meal prep was great as retsaraunt was not busy yet many take away orders. Website very easy to use. Good variety on drinks. Wheelchair accessible. Definitely a must visit in Waikanae.
Had a lovely dinner out for Mom's birthday. The manager brought the kids' free deserts and also some sweet dumplings for mom as a gift to take home. Very good service and not too noisy, so was easy for mom on the hearing aid.
Always a firm family favourite. Great service, amazing food. Thank you again. x
We turned up near closing time and they made us welcome. Food was very good. The chicken saagwala was the best we've had in New Zealand.
April2022. What a find. One of those date night successes.
The smells of spices when you walk in is yum. Quiet when we arrived, and busy when we left. 2 tables had regulars at them,, 2 families with young children, 1 with our older generation.. They all looked comfortable and happy. So the meals.. Starters were shared, as well as the mains. Well portioned, hot, flavoursome. We chose 'medium' heat, has a little kick for the buds. Front of house perhaps Father&Son, worked so well together, and in training a young adult whom the Son did a wonderful job of shadowing.
Just amazing! Really enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back for dinning in again.
Delicious food, super friendly service and although we were there to take away, next time we will eat in as it's a lovely atmosphere. My new go to in Kapiti. Highly recommend Samrat.
The best curry in the greater Wellington region. Without fail, the Samrat team is warm, friendly, and fast. Perfect meals every time. And the Naan...we always need extra as the kids hoover them.
Great local ingredients, so fresh 👌 beautiful food best butter chicken in New Zealand dine in or take away 😋 10 out of 10
Nice place to eat, helpful staff.
They were accommodating of us bring a birthday cake.
Great food and amazing host ,thanks and see ya next time
Had a lovely fresh spicy meal in a great restaurant with friendly hosts.
To say the food was delicious would be an understatement, very authentic, just the right flavors. The shining star of this restaurant was our gracious host Mr K Ram. He made us feel so welcome, thank you very much. We will definitely return.
Great curry. Lots of meat and flavour. Naan could be better though
We just enjoyed a wonderful impromptu birthday dinner at Samrat Indian Restaurant. They have a large selection of stuffed breads and the curries are delicious. Order “extra hot” if you can handle serious spice; it was delightfully picante for these homesick Texans! The atmosphere was so cozy on a rainy evening. But the crowning feature was the attentive and funny owner! He made our night. We’ll definitely swing by again if we’re ever back in Waikanae.
Eat-in with family was fantastic, 2yo and 6yo loved it! Very family friendly, and the owners are beyond amazing! Hospitality out of this world, would highly recommend!
