Indian restaurant in Auckland

“What a perfect choice for vegetarians! We visited on a quiet day, and the service was outstanding. The menu had something for everyone - we loved everything we ordered. We left full, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Papakura wanting exquisite Indian cuisine”

“We really enjoyed our visit! Always walked past this place and have wanted to try it for a while! We ordered the special lamb curry and butter chicken with a side of garlic naan, and it was really quite a treat! The food came out quickly, and we were very satisfied with the tenderness of the meat and the fragrance of the dishes. The naan also complemented the dishes well, and while I can’t speak for authenticity, it was a tasty meal, and I’d like to come in to try more from their menu!”

“Been looking at this place for some time now. finally went in to try there Lunch curry deal. Wasn't disappointed at all. Ample amount of food for $12.99 Include curry , rice, naan bread and can of drink.I ordered a chicken vindaloo, Ample amount of rice and meat. for the price, i couldn't complain. I asked for super spicy, But wasn't spicy at all. I have a high tolerance for spicy food so not the chefs fault. All in all was a great tasting curry and a great deal. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and very polite. The place in general is very clean and tidy. I certainly will be back again,and hopefully We can get the spice just right Next time. This place is a little hidden gem, and more people need to know about it.”

“I came in today, 2nd August 2025, and honestly, I just had to leave a review because the experience was that good. Right from the moment I walked in, the staff were so welcoming and friendly. You could tell they actually cared about making sure we were comfortable and happy. Service was fast, smooth, and super polite. It’s rare these days to see people go the extra mile, but the team here really did — and it made a big difference. Now about the food — wow. I’m not even exaggerating when I say everything was so fin’ good*. Packed with flavour, cooked perfectly, and served hot and fresh. Every bite just hit the spot. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they do, because the quality was honestly next level. I wasn’t even that hungry when I walked in, and still ended up eating way more than I expected — it was that tasty. I don’t usually write long reviews, but this place deserves it. The service, food, and vibe all came together perfectly. I’ll 100% be coming back and definitely recommending it to friends. Massive thanks to the whole team — you made my day.”

“I've been here on every visit to Auckland, lots of seating. The menu is extensive. I love hot curries so always order indian hot, they were almost spot on but I feel they weakened the spice level. The flavour of the curries are great nice sized portions too.”

“Okay so its time to share the best kept secret in West Auckland. The secret is not just that this legendary long standing Indian restaurant does a $30 buffet on Saturday night, the secret is not that staff are super friendly and its a gorgeous environment the real secret is that they change the items in the buffet regularly! Yes no same old thing each time you can go every week and enjoy your tasty favorites plus try something new. Its fresh and delicious. Hubby highly recommends chicken pakora and the dahl. I know my steak man going for vegetarian option that is how good it is. I recommend the chicken malai. Its only Saturday night from 5:30pm, pay when you go in and make sure you book as its popular for a reason! And sshhh - its a secret remember......”

“A very good restaurant with good food on top of that awesome service by Simran. She listen to you carefully and she helps with the questions and recommends the food as well. 5 stars service”

“If you’re after great, authentic and flavourful Indian food, then this is the place. While the ambience and service are nothing to rave about, the food beats it all! Absolutely loved the fish Amritsari, which interestingly and sadly is a rare find in Auckland. The lamb seekh kebab and biryani are fab too. Sure will be back”

“Supreme Indian food. Quality to the last. Nice service. I asked for their best Chicken dish they delivered. Miles ahead of places like Bollywood. Very Authentic. Do it tasty as ....”

“Beautiful family owned restaurant that delivers an unforgettable dining experience. The service is lovely and the food is exceptional. Honestly they must do the best chicken korma in Auckland. Unfortunately, I have moved away from Auckland so only get to experience it once in a blue moon but it's always a highlight of my trip when I return.”

“Amazing cultural food from North India an experience we all can try at least once in a lifetime kind and friendly staff give it a taste Whanau.”

“Had an amazing experience! The smoky mix of vegetables and paneer was absolutely delicious—flavorful and perfectly cooked. Definitely try the Kadhai chicken with bone and ask for it to be smoky—it’s a game changer( we had )Kudos to the talented chefs, Ravi and Pramod, who truly know their craft. Each dish had its own unique touch, showcasing their specialties and skill. Highly recommend!”

“Nice foods , Good service, good staffs and cheaper price .good for hire for brithday party and other functions.”

“If u are a curry lover this is the restaurant to be at JULEEZ KITCHEN. The curry flavours are distinctively different and tasty. Their indo Chinese dishes are amazing.. The curry masala is never disappointing..”

“We recently had the pleasure of dining at Chaska in Otahuhu, and the experience was truly delightful. The food was exceptional, with standout dishes including the Chole Bhature, Paneer Parantha, and Bread Pakora. The Lassi and Chai were the perfect accompaniments, adding a refreshing touch to our meal. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who ensured we felt welcome throughout our visit. If you're craving authentic Punjabi cuisine, look no further than Chaska. We highly recommend it and can't wait to go back!”

“Was driving by so decided to pop in for a quick early dinner. First visit, so asked for a recommendation and it did not disappoint. We were recommended dahi puri and chole bhature and both dishes were great. We also got a samosa chaat and mango lassi. Will be back!”

“This place is my family’s favourite…. The food is delicious every time. And the staff are very helpful and lovely…. Due to not being Indian sometimes we want to try new dishes but are hesitant but the staff are very helpful and honest…. 10/10 from us”

“Great little restaurant in Papakura. Awesome lunchtime deal combo, welcoming owner/chef and fabulous food! My hubby had the medium vindaloo and it had lots of taste! We'll definitely be back!”

“Very good restaurant for authentic Nepalese n Indian cuisine. Highly recommended”

“I love butter chicken and this place does it really well!”

“I am only marking 'atmosphere' down because our table of 4 was the only one occupied. We had 4 different meals and all were delicious. This restaurant deserves to be better supported. The decor has recently been revamped and is really nice. The menu is comprehensive and reasonably priced. There is also a BYO option for the budget conscious. I had the Chicken Rogan Josh... superb!”

“Great fresh food great service and so many choices with fusion food from Nepal China.”
