Indian restaurant in Auckland

“Oh my goodness THE BEST BYRIANI we have ever tasted the butter chicken was amazing not too rich and not too mention customer service! Highly recommend- support your local small business people. Thank you to the team at desi joint the food was SUPERB! A+++”

“Great taste and better prices. Have tried this restaurant multiple times and their flavors come through better than most. Ordering some tonight...”

“Very authentic, their goat curry was absolutely beautiful, so nice I could eat that every single day. Nice chill atmoshphere and friendly staff. 100% recommend.”

“I’ve had two great experiences here! They’ve gone above and beyond to ensure that guests with allergies or restrictions feel not only accommodated, but welcomed. So incredibly kind and friendly! Allergens are clearly noted on the menu and they went out of their way to let me know what precautions they take to minimize the chance of CC. The food was incredible, and I’m glad I went with their recommendations. The note on the menu re: customizing tasting and set menu options to your dietary restrictions was really nice to see. I’m celiac and felt very understood when I noted a severe allergy.”

“Great wide range of Nepalese food, including Indian favourites. The service was even better. We ended up staying there for ages because of the great vibes, and the is ocean right outside. Highly recommended.”

“Really enjoyed this aromatic meal. Service was attentive friendly and helpful, we were made recommendations regarding what to order we and when to eat them. The food was fresh, flavorful and tasty. I had the lamb saag, which was rich thick and tasty, not overly salty as sp e can be. Highly recommend this local delight!!”

“Fantastic cuisine, competitive pricing, and generous servings. The staff is very friendly and always pleasant.”

“Spice Club Indian Restaurant Great service and friendly staff. Made me feel very welcome. Highly recommend! Maria ❤️ Auckland”

“Best curry around Devonport, I've enjoyed every dish I've tried from here (give the street food a go!). I highly recommend the Lamb Korma and Chicken Methi Malai.”

“Came out a few months ago to grab a curry. Hadn’t been here before but my partner had. Since then we’ve been back every couple of weeks. The food is great, but for us it’s the service. They are so amazing and always remember my name, (which as someone who can never remember names myself I always find super impressive) we usually sit and have a glass of something while we wait for the food and the food itself is always bang on. The singer is also fabulous! (Give her some applause if you go, she deserves it!) Definitely one of our favourite places.”

“5 stars! Food is very delicious. Always fresh and hot. Never had a bad meal here. Best curry around. The staff are really amazing too. Our go to for Indian food all the time”

“Thank you so much for looking after our dance crew. We were so happy. Dinner was beautiful.”

“You can bet these guys can conjunct a beautiful butter chicken meal - the naan, the rice and curry are delicious. (I tend to ask them to make the mild butter not too sweet)”

“Friendly staff. Yummy food. I told them specifically that I do not handle spice well, while my partner loved Spice. They were extremely accommodating and gave us extra chillies and sauces.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience at the food trucks that were around and this one also. I love the puris . The food was lovely and staff friendly .”

“Tikka n Talk was close to our hotel and we walked here expecting to get some lamb dishes. While talking with Ishan, he highly recommended the chicken tikka with naan and a chicken biryani if we wanted a rice dish. We also got a mango and rose lassi. He described the dishes so deliciously we had to get it! It was the best chicken tikka I’ve ever had in my life and Im saying that growing up in the San Francisco bay where theres a large amount of indian restaurants. Definitely ask for Ishans recommendation when you stop by!”

“One of our favorite spots to eat. The food is always excellent and the service is warm and we always feel so welcomed. Highly recommend!!”

“Yummo! Ok so I love it when Indian fooderies use the thigh or leg meat for butter chicken instead of the breast (which seems dry even when coated in sauce). Thank you Spice Junction! Juicy chicken pieces, great portion size, awesome ratio of chicken to sauce. Naan was on point and the Chicken 65 was satisfyingly spicy! Will definitely Uber order again!”

“First time trying a new Indian take out after significant price rises with usual restaurant made us explore other options. Chicken vindaloo, lamb korma and cheesy naan. All were delicious! Husband is a chef with a particular penchant for Indian food, and a tendency to be critical, but he loved it all and said this will definitely be our new regular takeout ☺️”

“I ordered a take away today and the food was authentic Indian taste . I ordered their special paneer and Veg Biryani and both of the dishes were yum . A must visit place for authentic indian food lovers in Kumeū”

“Six years on, and nothing else compares to this place. The ambiance remains exceptional, and the food is even better. With an extensive selection of wines and drinks to perfectly complement the meals, and authentic flavours that transport you straight to their roots, this spot truly stands out. Hats off to Sunil and the team for building such an outstanding experience.”

“We have been to this place a couple of times now and it's been great. Really good food, lamb vindaloo hot and goat curry in the bone was very nice. Great service and good bar selection”

“Best Indian we've had in a long time (maybe ever). We had a wonderful meal tonight. The chilli prawn entree was exceptional! We also loved the lamb cutlets, mango chicken and lamb vindaloo! Every dish was delicious and the service was great. Very friendly and yummy, highly recommend! We will be back ☺️”

“Bunny chow order for a group lunch. Eight orders was easy to order and pick up on the day. Fresh soft loaf of white bread toasted with a generous filling of the curry. Happy team. Would do it again.”

“Amazing Indian food. My partner has had a love for indian food where I have liked it but not as obsessed as my him. But, I love the food here. The lamb madras and butter chicken are amazing. Owner is lovely and great service. If you haven't, try it out !”

“I bought this bathure chole today at lunchtime, and I’m absolutely loving it! It’s super soft, cozy, and comfortable—perfect taste . Love it So Yum Best in north shore. I have tried everything but no comparison at all. So yummy and completely Indain style what I was looking for.”

“A bit upmarket. Quiet and the food was delicious & well presented. It was a bit cold, but after talking to the staff, they turned the temperature up a bit, which was great. Staff were fantastic and good parking right outside. Quite pricey, but we were there on a deal, which made it good value.”

“Loved the chef's special! The food was fresh and tasty. The Turkish coffee is quite intense, so if you're into strong expressos, you'll enjoy it.”

“After coming once before, we have come back as a family with higher expectations than the last time. We cannot express the absolute wonderful experience at Katmandu. The beautiful decor around the restaurant adds to the identity of the restaurant and the culture too. This restaurant deserves all the praise that they receive and will receive in the future. The food is quickly prepared and served with absolute excellence. I wish to thank the owner for the opportunity to experience such cuisine. To possible new customers, my family and I urge you to visit and experience Kathmandu for yourself.”

“A friendly open restaurant mostly geared for delivery and take away these days. But the indian food its Devine! You wont be disappointed with the flavor and freshness. Highly recommended.”
