Restaurant in New Zealand

“My husband and I often come here for lunches with friends and get the lunch special (about $14 for curry, rice, a large naan, and a drink) - never disappoints. Incredibly delicious curries and garlic naan, fantastic value for price, quiet and friendly staff, overall my favourite Indian place to eat at!”

“My wife and two of my daughters and I had lunch here. It is a lovely restaurant, nice, friendly staff and the food is of a high quality, extremely well presented, and delicious. Wife + Daughters loved the place and declared it a new favourite. I also enjoyed the food as well but not as immensely as they. The reason is because while the food is very high quality and delicious, I personally found it a little (just a tiny bit) watered down to cater for western tastes. I am not saying it is not authentic, just not quite as layered in its flavouring as you find in some other Chinese restaurants. If you look at the photos you will see that the food is high quality, but you can also probably also tell it is lightly flavoured. The only chilli sauce offered is a sweet chilli sauce that looks just like what you get from a bottle at home. I asked for some chilli oil and got some, but it was fairly bland. Edit: I have since done my research on Shanghai style cooking which apparently has an emphasis on sweetness, lightness, and freshness. So my comments on 'watered down' may be awry, it may simply be that I prefer a more robust regional style of Chinese cooking and this restaurant is offering a genuinely Shanghai style. This style may be influenced by the 100+ years Shanghai was a western entrepot to China.”

“Amazingly quick service, the food came out in what felt like 5 minutes and we got two prompt check ins to make sure we were happy, good touch. The lamb shank red curry was to die for. So much sauce and somehow I managed to clean the plate, I could have licked the plate clean but stopped myself. Tender meat, I gnawed the shank bone clean at the end. Creamy, slightly sweet, flavourful fragrant sauce with a great variety of tender veggies to boot. Perfection. Partner's pad Thai was great too ❤️”

“A fabstastic Japanese restaurant with great food and excellent service! We visited both for dinner and breakfast (since it’s part of a motel) and enjoyed both experiences. The sushi train delivering food to the table was a huge hit, especially for our 8-year-old, who absolutely loved it! The quality-to-price ratio is excellent – you can choose between an all-you-can-eat option or order à la carte from the menu, which gives great flexibility depending on how hungry you are. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely one of the best Japanese dining experiences we’ve had in a while. Highly recommend for both families and sushi lovers!”
