Indian restaurant in Auckland

“This restaurant is a hidden gem in Auckland if you want authentic Indian food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. The Chitali and Nikunj were great, and the setting had a very ethnic feel to it. The highlight and best part were the Australian Eggs Fried and Pani Puri. would like to go back. strongly advised.”

“This restaurant has the most freshly cooked meal’s without any preservatives and msg. Their Briyani was first class and my kid loved the cheese naan with lamb curry ❤️ Keshab was awesome with his hospitality and service towards customers even it’s my first time here this beautiful service and delicious food making up to visit this restaurant frequently in future. Thank you for the good food and service”

“Definitely a hidden Gem of Indian cuisine in Henderson. I popped in last night for a feed and a pint and once again did not disappolnt Great friendly staff nice drinks selection”

“I recently ordered from Surya, and I must say I am super impressed! The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Their delivery service was quick and smooth, and everything arrived hot and well-packed. What really stood out was the excellent customer service. Kamal, the owner, was very polite and helpful throughout the process, making sure everything was perfect. The prices are very reasonable, and they even added some extra free items to the order, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Excellent food, excellent service, and a caring owner – highly recommend Surya to anyone looking for tasty food and great home delivery!”

“My husband and I have been visiting this restaurant for years now, highly recommended. The owner is very friendly, food is delicious and restaurant is always nice and cosy. I have even taken other family members for dinner which they loved.”

“Authentic, flavourful, modern style Indian that hits the spot. The favourites are perfect (butter chicken, lamb Rogan Josh, garlic naan) but I’d also push the boat out and add the vegetarian mains and yummy sides to broaden your experience.”

“Highly recommended. Any new Indian restaurant I go to, I always ask for a hot butter chicken. This is how I benchmark. Sangram came in with one of the best butter chickens I have had in a long time! I always order a Peshwari Naan as well. Even though the Peshwari Naan was not on the menu, they made one for me! Impressed. The butter chicken and the naan were the highlight. What they can improve on….the mixed platter. It was a mixed review. The chicken tikka very tasty, samosa was ok and lamb was good. The onion bhaji was rock hard. Overall a $13 dish not a $26 dish. Come to Sangram for the butter chicken and a peshwari naan! You won’t be disappointed!”

“Attentive customer service and wonderful food! We enjoyed the kebab Biriyani the most, it was delicious!”

“Me and my partner tried this for lunch special first time yesterday very very tasty and the staff are very lovely our new go to for Indian food”

“I was told this place had THE BEST butter chicken. I was dubious, but curious so I tried it and I can confidently say that YES, indeed it DOES have the best butter chicken. Also if you like Naan bread but don't like how stodgy it can be, order the butter Nann, so soft, so delicious.”

“Too good to not lick clean. Found a new favorite food spot.”

“We went for lunch & it was a delicious experience! The restaurant was light & inviting- the new renovations looked very good. I ordered the mango lassi & the spices in the drink was great! I really enjoyed the theatrics of the mix platter starter too, it came out on a sizzling plate & tasted delish. The stand out dish for me was the chicken korma, the nutty cashew sauce was amazing! Highly recommend. The naan were also very fresh. Will definitely be back again to try other dishes!!! ☺️”

“I went there a Friday night and the place was quite crowded. It seem to be quite popular. I had a butter chicken, tikka chicken fries and garlic naan. It was a really good place, I really liked the environment as well as the food, which was really nice. The staff were really nice. I recommend this place.”

“Amazing food so yummy and excellent service excellent ambiance and unique delicious food items on the menu must try highly recommended”

“We usually come on Fridays and always have a great experience. The food is delicious every time, the service is friendly and consistent, and it’s BYO wine which makes it even better. One of our favourite local spots!”

““Located right on East coast Road, Royal Indian Cuisine is a gem! Their goat chicken is absolutely fabulous, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The staff members are very friendly and have a great nature, making the experience even better. A must-try for anyone who loves authentic Indian food!””

“Decided to have Indian lunch after watching a documentary about Indian cuisines. We have ordered here before and knew that their food was amazing. It was my first time to order lamb biryani, chicken rara and tandoori platter. Usually I order the one I'm most familiar with (which is butter chicken) but today I wasn't disappointed with my lunch. It was very flavorful and everything tastes authentic. There's only 2 of us in the house but we got leftovers for dinner and tomorrow's lunch. Let's all support Nz businesses at this tough covid times.”

“Have only had the food through Uber eats but I think I need to dine in soon and get the full experience. If you are struggling to choose from the menu you will not regret trying the street noodles with chicken, some of the best noodles I have had in Auckland. They are consistent with the flavours and have been identical each time I have tried them. I recommended them to my flatmates and they also loved the food. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing food, everybody was very happy with their meals. Very polite and helpful staff, and a nice ambience. Felt very authentic. Highly recommended!”

“Absolutely delicious restaurant quality Punjabi food made fresh to order. Quick and courteous service and fair prices. We will definitely be back to try more from this shop. Best takeaway food I’ve tried in West Auckland.”

“Delicious vegan options. I had the eggplant masala mixed with the chickpea masala, good size portions for decent prices!!! Also the plain naan is vegan, and so delicious.”

“Ordered Home Style and Jalfrezi. Unique and interesting curries. Staff were super polite and conversational and food came out in 10 mins. Our drinks came first - a few minutes. Superb. We are very happy to have stopped here t eat on our night out.”

“We celebrated our daughter’s birthday party at Raja’s India Restaurant, and it was such a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic Indian flavour, and the service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and professional. All our guests really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The team made everything smooth and stress-free, which made the celebration even more special. Highly recommend Raja’s India Restaurant for family gatherings, parties, or anyone who loves great Indian food!”

“Had a very pleasant experience, very welcoming staff. The only nitpick is that butter chicken was too sweet. Chicken tikka masala was great. Really wish they made it less sweet. The kids liked it but I wouldn't have been able to eat it myself”

“Very kind and friendly staff. The place is nice and clean. The food is absolutely delicious – the samosa chaat is my favourite! Prices are very affordable too. Highly recommend this spot.”

“went in today to grab some lunch with my parents, their food was absolutely delicious. We ordered dahi puri, potato vada, gujrati thali and pav bhaji. Every single dish we ordered was made with such care and the taste was impeccable, I would highly recommend getting the pav bhaji as it was definitely a highlight. Every dish arrived on our table within 10 minutes and it was all hot and straight from the kitchen. The atmosphere of the restaurant truly felt like home. The service provided by the staff was excellent. Will definitely be going again sometime soon !”

“Customer service is really good. For a small restaurant, their service quality is superb! Food... it is beyond expectations! Amazingly authentic and tastes so so good. Gives an original Indian Indian taste. Good food and great value for money! This place should be recognized as one of the best Indian food places in Auckland. Loved it! Thank you Falaq, simply amazing!”

“I recently visited this Mayas restaurant and was blown away by how authentic and flavorful the food was. Every dish tasted like it was made with real care, traditional spices, and genuine Indian cooking techniques. The aromas, the presentation, and the flavours all reminded me of home. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff made sure we were comfortable throughout. The menu had a great variety and everything we tried was fresh and delicious. If you’re looking for true Indian taste and a warm dining experience, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend”

“This is my go to when I am craving Indian food. I’ve always liked their butter chicken and samosa. Yummy! Though I haven’t dined at the actual restaurant yet, I always have it delivered via either uber eats or deliver easy.”
