Truly amazing food! My partner from India is a bit pickier when it comes to trying Indian restaurants in Nz, but we listened to the great reviews for Chilli Cove and gave it a try. We were both so glad we did, my partner was pleasantly surprised!
Best biryani I’ve ever had, my partner and I ate the heck out of our goat biryani (super tender, moist and flavourful) and lamb seekh kebab with mint sauce (also a flavour punch to my tastebuds). We took away a biryani for a friend too who rated it No.1 out of all the biryanis he’s had so far in the North Island (I agree!). Great portions for both the biryani and kebab too, my partner and I shared it between us with a drink each, and we felt well-fed!
The waiter was a super lovely man too with a kind smile, he made us feel very comfortable! The restaurant has an easygoing atmosphere, well-lit in the afternoon during summer from natural light. Definitely will be back again, my partner is already looking forward to coming back with more of our friends!
Fantastic place! Great food! Outstanding service! We walked in at 1:55pm and they were nice enough to stay open to accommodate. And get the full menu it's worth it. The food is an explosion of flavours. A must have is the crispy cauliflower it's out of this world with texture and flavour. The best mango lassi I've had. The curry on the hot plate was quite a presentation. We just had to order more food to take home. Highly recommend this place in Whangamata considering all other places in town offer sub standard menus.
The food is delicious and it is big portions, and the service is really good, friendly and warm. The desert wasn't too great but maybe that's because of personal taste. They have tables inside and tables outside on a street that no cars can pass so that's good. I would come back if I were in the area
