Always an amazing meal, wonderful people and delicious dining, thanks also to the incredible service from Satvir and the Management team. One of the best restaurants and a regular for us. Give it a try....
We visited as a group of the 5 and then we enter in store the staff was very rude and not welcoming . Then we order chicken tikka, spring roll and fish when we taste the food then we realised that food quality was not same then we ask to receptionist then they talk very rude so we decided to not eat a main curse. The overall attitude made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, so we decided not to order and left. Customer service needs improvement. P.s. I have been to several restaurants before and sorry to say that this is my very first 1 star review given to a restaurant
It was an amazing experience of Indian food!! Sunil the duty manager, is very warm and friendly.
**updated** **AVOID THIS PLACE** **Avoid disappointment ** Reasons are mentioned below I phoned to order takeaway Chicken biryani. As soon as went there unhappy faces i approached Front desk but she was busy om her cellphone . I asked for my order then owner of resturant which is very rude brought my order and chrged me money . I had no issues till then . However, I came home checked there was no Raita (complimentary yoghurt dish served by all indian restaurant in tauranga and papamoa) I called again then front desk lady answered I infromed my concern rather than going to resolution she started being rude and bossy and said come in here for real person . As I tasted only one bite found out chicken not fresh oven cooked rice and mixed with curry no taste at all very basic biryani . I think people who try first time to cook biryani at home can defiantly cook better than this Restaurant. I went back to their restaurant then i advised front desk girl to learn some manners and customer service "Treat people how you want to be treated". Then her father(owner) came in refund my money however they should have gone for resolutions to replace food with better quality and an apology for their un professional behaviour. I read all reviews after this incident most of customers have same issues . I bought another chicken biryani from OWN Masala Tauranga it was far from my place but was worth. People who read my review wanna best indian food in tauranga Here is list of some good restaurant Own masala, Great spice, house of spice. Again Not recommended this place at all **updated** Their receptionist keeps on calling me as of 29/09/2025 around 4:30 pm And threating with police as her brother in police , it is like mentally harassment to a customer if you have my number you should be apologising not arguing for whatsoever reason. According to her she is minor , then why and how she is receptionist serving alcholic beverages thats question to worksafe or whatever authorities responsible for Kindly please stop calling me and forcing me to remove this review . Again avoid this place at every cost and ill definitely inform my family and friends Restaurant's so unprofessional behaviour Kindly work on that Thank you
