Have been to this place more times than we can count. Best curry we have eaten in NZ. Bathroom area needs a bit of love, but doesn’t affect us wanting to come back time and again.
Food was very tasty, good sauce to meat ratio and chicken was very tender yum! Also a good size portion
We often dine at Heart of India, and after enjoying their wonderful meals, I want to recommend this place and like to tell you what we enjoy. The hot plates are the first sign a good thing is coming. First arriving is our water, followed by our new favorite, Peshwari Naan Bread. Hot and yummy with a slight sweet taste. We have a nibble on it, while the main course is coming. We order one Lamb Boti Masala and one Aloo Gobi, which is a vegetable dish, potato, cauliflower, and spice and herbs. The Lamb dish is great, so nice and tender. We started buying plain rice but now enjoy vegetable biryani rice, which is a bigger serving than plain rice. To finish off, we share one Mango Lassi. It’s important that your companion can measure half or you will get a raw deal. It’s yummy. We share the dishes by doing a mix and match. The meal quantity is just right for two retired people. Mostly, we have mild, but if you like your eyes to water, go hot. The owners are wonderful people, and the restaurant is always clean and tidy. For an Authentic Indian cuisine, we recommend this place. It is easy to get a parking place.
Used Heart of India for our shared lunch at work. Had a variety of curries and naan bread, definitely a crowd pleaser! Thank you!!
Wonderfully helpful staff. Beautiful food with generous servings. Best garlic naan I've ever had
Food was spot on and service was fantastic..My Wife said Tikka Masala was best she's ever eaten and she's had quite a few in Aussie. Generous portions(even had enough to take home for dinner the next night) 15/10
DELICIOUS! Best curry we have had in a very long time, we asked for Indian hot and they absolutely delivered. Very tasty hot, not blow your socks off hot. Not watery and very generous serving size. We will be back for sure.
It is a quaint little restaurant that we stumbled upon during our travels. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. The naan bread was super soft and the malai kofta was very well cooked. The chef here really knows what he is doing. Absolutely recommend this place.
Ordered our 5 dinner meals online for first time, have mainly dined in, in the past here and meals were excellent then. Pros - affordable main meals, rice and naan bread cooked well. Cons - too much gravy provided rather than chicken & king prawns, butter chicken meals so sickly sweet - my teenage son struggled to eat it, small portion of kuchumber salad for its price and all veges too chunky and not finely diced. I understand food is expensive and inflation has increased, but am disappointed in the meals overall, as they were not authentic Indian cuisine in my opinion. We order online/dine in every week, at a variety of restaurants and this experience was not very good, hence 2 stars.
