Indian restaurant in Auckland

“The ambience could be better. But the food and the service were amazing! I forgot how good they were. And was humbly reminded when I went last night. My friend and I got the butter chicken, chicken fried rice, cheese and garlic naan, and normal galic naan. And all of them were top tier!”

“Loved the taste, could better the portion size. We ordered Cauliflower crisp (must try) Mysore Masala dosa Masala dosa Matka chai (must try) Veg noodles”

“Despite the limitation in the dinning space the food served was palatable and the customer service was commendable as the staff is submissive and full of offerings . Further, the desert is relishing .”

“A truly delicious meal. Generous portion sizes, dishes had a great depth of flavor and the team were very attentive and accommodating of our young family. We will be back and would recommend to all to try!”

“Stayed at connecting hotel. Dined in. Traditional Indian cuisine. Very friendly staff helped us to order as we were unfamiliar with dishes. 4 people. Was very delicious. Beer was different and weird. They need at least one common beer. A bit xxy but would go back again. Loved the friendliness of all the staff.”

“As a Punjabi, I’m usually quite particular about North Indian food, but Delhi Heights in Auckland genuinely impressed me. The flavors felt authentic and truly reminded me of home. The dishes were perfectly spiced—not overpowering—the atmosphere was lively, and the staff were warm and welcoming. I’d highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine.”

“Best chicken fried rice ever! Been coming here for years”

“Lovely staff, delicious food. We usually go for the biryani and butter chicken, and it never disappoint, it is such a treat! Highly recommend if you're after tasty and spicy (optional) indian cuisine.”

“This place has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, presented appropriately. I would recommend this to everyone! They made us feel welcomed and gave us an amazing experience. Won’t regret.”

“I had spinach kofta and garlic naan in dinner yesterday (i.e. 28 Aug 2025). The food was very delicious. They offered me peanuts free of cost, as starter. The staff is very polite and courteous. The restaurant is very spacious with a great ambience. I enjoyed having dinner here.”

“Nice place with excellent ambience. Cocktails were spot on must try Espresso Martini and Oasis in the thar. In starter snowflake chicken was delicious and must try one. The second starter “Grilled paneer” was not that up to the mark. (Improvement required) In the mains Kadai paneer & Vegetable Jalfrazi were superb with unique richness in test and texture. The way they served the roti was very new and unique. The place really lived up to our expectations. Must visit place”

“This place has great food, but it's a hole in the wall, almost literally. It opened at noon and you have to go down this long hallway with bottles hanging. You sit on rickety wooden crates, there are 3 different rooms or sections. See if you can get the one in the back it's very laid back. We tried almost Eveything, I'd say you have a hard time finding something that you don't enjoy. Try the thumbs up if you're looking for Pepsi or coke.”

“We always have the butter chicken, tikka masala or beef vindaloo, and I can confidently say this is probs the best curry place I've had in NZ. Consistently very good tasting curry and food, good portions/fair pricing and lots of meat that is very good.”

“Ordered bunnies for the family and the food was the best we have eaten this far!! Good quality Lamb bunny, chicken and lentil!! Keep up the good quality of food”

“I came from Australia to Auckland to watch NZ sikh games and to meet my friends. On first night, My host friend ordered takeaway tandoori chicken and Amritsari fish from this place. The girl at the reception was so polite and professional. Story begins when we started to eat food with our drinks. We all were really lost in the taste too mich that our conversation was diverted to the food we were eating. I haven't eat that much delicious chicken in Australia. Its my 3rd day in Auckland and every night we are ordering from this place. Masala on tandoori chicken is finger lickin. Big appreciation and thanks to the heroes in the kitchen.”

“We tried this place for the first time today. Walking in I have to admit my first impression wasn't great. The restaurant definitely needs some attention. But the guy serving us was great and I found the food to be amazing. Once of the best Goan fish curries I have ever had. And my wife absolutely loved the Mango chicken. Awesome mixed platter with just the right amount of food for a starter for 2. And delicious as well! We will definitely be back to try some of your other dishes!”

“Absolutely incredible – a must-try for vegetarians! We went here with a big group of friends and had the best experience. We had Vegetarian Mandi Rice family packs, and wow, we were not disappointed! The rice was so fragrant and perfectly spiced, and they mix paneer and vegetable into it is just magic. It was honestly one of the most biryani dishes I've ever had.”

“Indian restaurant in Ellerslie. A real gem of a restaurant. Can't fault any aspect of this place. The food was delicious, fresh and tasty and the service was very good. We were a party of 11 and all our meals were made within a reasonable time from ordering. The decor really adds to the experience. I look forward to going back when I'm in the country and in the mood for great quality Indian cuisine.”

“Best place in AKL to get ‘Ulundu vada’! If you’re a Sri Lankan looking for the taste of your home, you can’t go wrong with their Ulundu Vada + green chili sauce and a cup of Ceylon tea!”

“Wow what a food, awesome presentation, we ordered Tawa Chicken and Kadhai Paneer. Perfect blend of spices and food was very nice to eat.”

“The perfect curry for on the way home after a big job. I ordered mine hot, I'm sure it was euro-hot which was perfect. Thank the chef for me, yummy.”

“Have been to a few live music events here. Great atmosphere and staff are friendly. Lots of options re beverages and meals. The mural wall is a highlight and always enjoy our time”

“The place is just a replica of BBQ nation outlet in India. First they serve you all the BBQ dishes (Unlimited) like Chicken, fish, prawn, pineapple and Kumara. They also serve fried fish and potato with sause. You can then go ahead and enjoy the buffet food which has Indian and continental dish (just one). Overall the experience was very amazing and great service. The food was delicious and restaurant beautiful ambient set up gives a very relaxed atmosphere while enjoy the soft music in background. But expensive but worth a try. Good for family and big groups. Try for Groupon voucher to get a good deal and save some bucks.”

“Best Samosa I've had anywhere... big, full of flavour full of filling I have never come across a Samosa close to what they sell here... Happy to travel out of my way just for them.... Huuuuge Ice Creams too, friendly and welcoming staff”

“I love the food. It's a small food shop and the dishes are home style. Aunty is really lovely. She gave me a free Naan one time I was dining in. The food is an authentic Fiji Style. It's my 5th time coming back I think and will be back again”

“Very tasty pakora. Love it. Wow That’s what people after when they are tired and need refreshment. First time I have visited this place. The smell took m above and make me purchase more stuffs than only pakora.”

“Where to start. Easily my favourite Indian in Auckland. Great food, amazing prices, close to the central city where I live. It's unassuming brilliance, talking through its great food. The owners have a clear passion for traditional Southern Indian food, and it shows. Completely and absolutely recommended.”

“I'm rather happy with the meal. *Butter chicken, it was the best I've had in Orewa so far. *Chilli Chicken was a standout for me the flavour was bang on. *Garlic Prawns were fantastic I just wished there was more..I'll definitely order those again. So overall my experience is a huge positive.”

“Let me tell you this place is amazing in all aspects. The food was delicious we had butter chicken and butter lamb for mains. Mix salad and fries with two garlic naan. Two margaritas were so delightful. Service was excellent patient and friendly. Atmosphere we had chill Indian music was lovely. IT IS WAY BETTER DINING IN Great date night we will be back with the family”
